The iSNS protocol allows automated discovery, management, and configuration of iSCSI
devices on a TCP/IP network. To use iSNS, an iSNS server needs to be added to the SAN.
Once this is done, the iSNS server IP address must be added to the SnapSAN S1000 for the
iSCSI initiator service to send queries to it.
To make changes, enter the Entity Name and the iSNS IP Address, then click Apply.
