iSCSI Manager iSNS Tab
The Internet Storage Name Server (iSNS) protocol is used for interaction between iSNS servers and iSNS clients in order to facilitate the discovery and configuration of iSCSI devices. Use the iSNS tab to connect to the iSNS server.
In order to make use of this protocol, an iSNS server needs to be installed on the network and both the iSCSI initiator and target ports need to be registered with it.
-
Choose Enabled from the drop-down menu in the Mode field.
-
Enter the IP address and TCP port for the iSNS server. If default values appear, they should be correct for most environments.
-
Click OK.
This allows all initiators to automatically discover the iSCSI target port, eliminating the need for manual configuration.
For improved security, you can enable authentication.
