Enabling the iSNS client service
This section explains how to enable the iSNS client service and configure the iSNS server IP address.
Fabric OS supports one iSNS server connection.
NOTE:
If DD and DDSets are configured on the fabric, clear the DD and DDSet configurations before
enabling iSNS client services.
1.
Connect to the switch and log in.
2.
Issue the fosConfig --enable isnsc command to enable the iSNS client service:
switch:admin> fosconfig --enable isnsc
3.
Issue the fosConfig --show command to verify that the service is enabled:
switch:admin> fosconfig --show
FC Routing service:disabled
iSCSI service:enabled
iSNS Client service:enabled
4.
Set the IP address of the iSNS server. You can use either the IP address of the GbE port that attaches
the FC4- 1 6IP blade, or the server management port IP address.
5.
Issue the isnscCfg --set command with the -m and -s options to set GbE port IP address:
switch:admin> isnsccfg --set <slot>/ge<port> -s <IP_address>
where
• <slot> is the number of the slot where the FC4- 1 6IP blade is inserted.
• ge<port> is the physical GbE port number (ge followed by 0–7, for example, ge0).
• <IP_address> is the iSNS server IP address.
For example:
switch:admin> isnsccfg --set 10/ge0 -s 10.32.0.145
iSNS client configuration updated:
peering with iSNS server 10.32.0.145 on slot 10, port ge0.
6.
Issue the isnscCfg --show command to verify that the iSNS server has been configured correctly:
switch:admin> isnsccfg --show
iSNS client is peering with iSNS server 10.32.0.145 on slot 10, port ge0.
Operational Status: Connected to iSNS server.
7.
Issue the isnsccfg --set command with the -m and -s options to set the IP address of the iSNS
server management port rather than the GbE port:
switch:admin> isnsccfg --set -m -s <IP_address>
where <IP_address> is the iSNS server management port IP address.
For example:
switch:admin> isnsccfg –set –m –s 10.33.56.105
iSNS client configuration updated: peering with iSNS server 10.33.56.105 on the
management port.
8.
Issue the isnscCfg --show command to verify that the iSNS server has been configured correctly:
switch:admin> isnsccfg --show
iSNS client is peering with iSNS server 10.33.56.105 on the management port.
Operational Status: Connected to iSNS server.
9.
Issue the isnsccfg --reregister command to re-register the iSNS objects:
switch:admin> isnsccfg --reregister
