                                 securityKey]

Parameters

Parameter	Description
`iscsiName`	The default identifier of the iSCSI initiator.
`userLabel`	The name that you want to use for the iSCSI initiator. Enclose the name in double quotation marks (" ").
`host`	The name of the host in which the iSCSI initiator is installed.
`chapSecret`	The password that you want to use to authenticate a peer connection.

NOTE: Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) is a protocol that authenticates the peer of a connection. CHAP is based upon the peers sharing a “secret.” A secret is a security key that is similar to a password. Use chapSecret only for initiators requiring mutual authentication.
