QME8242 Mezzanine Card User's Guide
You can enable CHAP authentication with either the interactive mode or non-interactive mode of QConvergeConsole CLI. 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:

NOTE: Information on installing and starting the GUI version of
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 <hba_port_inst>, <CHAP name>, and <CHAP secret>. 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 <hba_port_inst> <CHAP name> <CHAP secret>
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. To add a peer and BIDI CHAP entry (name and secret), issue the -addchap command to add a CHAP entry to the
persistent CHAP table. The positional parameters are <hba_port_inst>, <CHAP name>, and <CHAP secret>. The
optional parameter is [-BIDI] indicating the CHAP entry is a BIDI entry (default is local CHAP). The adapter is reset
after this command is issued.
Command line options:
[-BIDI] -addchap <hba_port_inst> <CHAP name> <CHAP secret>
Example:
In the following examples, the HBA port instance = 2, the CHAP name = chapbidistorage1, and the CHAP secret =
Z9aujqklaZwlqPplq0827.
$qaucli -pr iscsi -BIDI -addchap 2 chapbidistorage1 Z9aujqklaZwlqPplq0827
Or:
$qaucli - iscsi -BIDI -addchap 2 chapbidistorage1 Z9aujqklaZwlqPplq0827
3. To view the CHAP map table to determine the CHAP index to use later to link the CHAP entry to a target, issue the –
dspchap command. The positional parameter for this command is <hba_port_inst>.
