Usage Guidelines
To use this command, iSNS must be enabled using the isns-server enable command.
You can configure the pWWN and nWWN of iSCSI initiators and permit a group of iSCSI initiators to
share a given nWWN/pWWN pair by using a proxy initiator. The number of iSCSI initiators that register
with the iSNS server is more than the number of iSCSI targets that register with the iSNS server. To
synchronize the iSCSI initiator entries across switches, you can distribute the iSCSI initiator
configuration to iSNS servers across switches.
Examples The following example shows how to initiate iSNS information distribution.
switch# config terminal
switch(config)# isns distribute
The following example shows how to cancel iSNS information distribution.
switch# config terminal
