Can't you configure your iSCSI server to allow specific hosts? Storing plain text passwords inside config files is IMO a bad idea.

mhhh ...i dont know what happend if i switch it off. We have the authentification activated for other devices too, esxi for example. First i must shut down the other devices.

What did the checkbox "storage --> lvm / directory --> shared" mean?

Usually you can use both methods - no need to turn chap off.

no, i only can switch it on or off ... both dont work ....

if your storage device is available on all nodes you can enable "shared" - then live migration is possible.

e.g. if you run LVM on top of a iSCSI lun it makes sense to enable "shared". or if you have LVM on top of DRBD.
