Important

The LUN must be thick and block-based, and must have a capacity of at least 154 GB. Mutual

CHAP must be disabled.

15. Click Next.

16. Optional: Enable CHAP authentication.

An initiator must authenticate with the target using the specified username and password. This

provides security, as iSCSI initiators do not require a NAS username or password.

• Username

• Length: 1 to 127 characters

• Valid characters: 0 to 9, a to z, A to Z, colon (:), period (.), hyphen (-)

• Password

• Length: 12 to 16 characters

• Valid characters: 0 to 9, a to z, A to Z, all special characters

17. Optional: Enable CRC checksums.

Initiators and targets communicate over TCP connections using iSCSI protocol data units (PDU). The

sending device can send a checksum with each PDU. The receiving device uses this checksum to verify

the integrity of the PDU, which is useful in unreliable network environments. There are two checksum

types, which can be enabled separately.

Checksum Type

Description

Data Digest

The checksum can be used to verify the data portion of the PDU.

Header Digest

The checksum can be used to verify the header portion of the

PDU.
