Hey Tim,

When you refer to modifying the storage manager, are you referring to
CloudStack?

Perhaps you are referring to CitrixResourceBase, which is where we discover
and log in to iSCSI targets.

Do you know of a way to delete those cached CHAP credentials via XAPI so
when new ones are used for discovery they can work?

Thanks!
