Edit the authentication settings for the compute port for the target operation as follows.

CAUTION:
  • When changing the CHAP authentication setting, VSP One SDS Block forcibly disconnects iSCSI connection between the compute node and the compute port to discard the connection before the setting change for safety. It is recommended to disconnect the iSCSI connection between the compute node and the compute port according to the disconnection procedure of each OS in advance. After changing the CHAP authentication setting, establish the iSCSI connection according to the changed setting.

  • When a VPS is created, editing the authentication settings affects the status of connection from the compute node in the VPS to a storage system. For this reason, after you edit the authentication settings, make sure that you notify the VPS administrator.

  • Required role: Security

  1. Verify the ID of the compute port.

    If you use the CLI to specify a compute port by iSCSI name, check the iSCSI name of the compute port.

    REST API: GET /v1/objects/ports

    CLI: port_list

  2. Edit the authentication settings of the intended compute port.

    Run either of the following commands with the compute port ID and parameters for setting compute port authentication specified.

    If you use the CLI, you can specify the iSCSI name instead of the compute port ID.

    REST API: PATCH /v1/objects/port-auth-settings/<id>

    CLI: port_auth_setting_set

    Verify the job ID which is displayed after the command is run.

  3. Verify the state of the job by specifying the job ID.

    REST API: GET /v1/objects/jobs/<jobId>

    CLI: job_show

    If the job state is "Succeeded", the job is completed.

  4. (Bare metal) Back up the configuration information.

    Perform this step by referring to Backing up the configuration information (Bare metal).

    If you continue operations with other procedures, you must back up the configuration information after you have completed all operations.
