For details on the interactive mode, refer to the QConvergeConsole CLI User's Guide. For the non-interactive mode of the QConvergeConsole CLI, the following sections describes how to enable CHAP: Configuring CHAP with QConvergeConsole CLI Linking to a CHAP Target NOTE: Information on installing and starting the GUI version of QLogic's QConvergeConsole utility is provided in the QConvergeConsole User's Guide. All procedural information for that utility is covered in the online help system. Configuring CHAP with QConvergeConsole CLI To configure CHAP with QConvergeConsole CLI: 1. To add a primary and local CHAP entry (name and secret), issue the -addchap command to add a CHAP entry to the persistent CHAP table. The positional parameters are , , and . The optional parameter is [-BIDI] indicating the CHAP entry is a bidirectional entry (default is local CHAP). The adapter is reset after this command is issued. NOTE: The iSCSI RFC Specification recommends a minimum CHAP secret length of 12 bytes or characters. The maximum CHAP secret length for QLogic iSCSI cards (the firmware limit) is 100 bytes or characters. Command line options: [-BIDI] -addchap Examples: In the following examples, the HBA port instance = 0, the CHAP name = chapdbserver1, and the CHAP secret = k9Q038iaZwlqPplq012. $qaucli -pr iscsi -addchap 0 chapdbserver1 k9Q038iaZwlqPplq012 Or: $qaucli -iscsi -addchap 0 chapdbserver1 k9Q038iaZwlqPplq012 2.
