Detailed Description

This cmdlet configures the CHAP properties of the specified iSCSI HBAs.
If (Mutual)ChapType is set to a value different than ?Prohibited?, (Mutual)ChapPassword must be set.
ChapType, MutualChapType, MutualChapName, MutualChapPassword - these are only available on 4.1 or later.
Note: Run Set-VmHostHba directly against ESX. When Set-VmHostHba is run against vCenter Server, changing the iScsiName property of an iSCSI adapter modifies its AuthenticationCapabilities property.
