FS9500 - inbound CHAP where we can manipulate the secret per host bases

ISCSI- Mutual Chap authentication

Inbound: We see option to set system wide chap secret authentication for ISCIS attached hosts. Currently IBM offering System wide chap (being configured via chsystem CLI) is used for two way chap authentication where both initiator and target validates each other. Changing/removing systemwide chap is a disruptive operation and if changed without host config changes then it might result as LUN outage from host side.

this is placing blast radius impact incase if there any corruption/change in System wide chap secret

We need inbound CHAP where we can manipulate the secret per host bases rather than system wide where all hosts attached have same inbound credentials.

Looking for a feasibility or ability to set different inbound secrets for each attached host.
