Using Internet Storage Naming Service Server
Internet Storage Naming Service Server (iSNS) eliminates the need to
manually configure each individual storage array with a specific list of
initiators and target IP addresses. Instead, iSNS automatically discovers,
manages, and configures all iSCSI devices in your environment.
For more information on iSNS, including installation and configuration, go to
