[SOLVED] ISCSI with chap

[MrJake]

I have my PBS connected in a switch that has links connected to a dell equalogic ps6100 that I want to use ISCSI as datastore on my PBS for my backups. all 4 gig ports on the san are configured in the same network as the group ip and on the PBS server I have a quad nic with 4 ports connected in the switch with 4 ips in the same network as the san.
I need now to connect the PBS via ISCSi to the san and have chap enabled. I didnt find much doc about that.
Can someone help please?

Hi All,

Anyone here played with PBS as a VM and having the data store put onto a iSCSI Target?

For anybody following the bread crumbs ... it's always good to refer to the vendor's docs.

Sure, follow that post. But read this article first.

What is the benefit of shifting the initiator down to the host level instead of just mounting in the VM? I've seen you mention this in (I think) at least 2 other places, so I figured I would ask. I'm still researching options, so I'd be very interested in your notes.

Also, just a quick disclaimer: I know neither option is exactly ideal, but there's obviously a need/desire for people to avoid adding another box, so here we all are
