Disable CHAP

If your storage system does not require CHAP, you can disable it.

If you disable CHAP on a system that requires CHAP authentication, existing iSCSI sessions remain active until one of the following actions takes place:

• You reboot the host.
• You end the session through the command line.
• The storage system forces a logout.

After the session ends, you can no longer connect to targets that require CHAP.

Required privilege: Host.Configuration.Storage Partition Configuration

Procedure

1. Open the CHAP Credentials dialog box.
2. For software and dependent hardware iSCSI adapters, to disable the mutual CHAP and leave the one-way CHAP, select Do not use CHAP in the Mutual CHAP area.
3. To disable one-way CHAP, select Do not use CHAP in the CHAP area.
   The mutual CHAP, if set up, turns to Do not use CHAP when you disable the one-way CHAP.
4. Click OK.
