Explanation

DH-HMAC-CHAP (Diffie-Hellman Hash-based Message Authentication Code Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) provides bidirectional in-band authentication specifically designed for NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF), including NVMe/TCP, between hosts and storage controllers in ONTAP environments. This meets the requirement for mutual authentication.
