Using iSNS is the easiest way to find iSCSI targets on the network. If the network is configured with an iSNS server, configure the Microsoft iSCSI initiator to use iSNS. To add an iSNS server:
Note: The appearance of the screens depend on the operating system version.
  1. Navigate to the iSCSI Initiator Properties on your Windows system.
  2. Open the iSCSI Initiator Properties dialog.
  3. Select the Discovery tab.
  4. In the iSNS Servers area, click Add to display the Add iSNS Server dialog.
  5. Enter the IP address or DNS host name for the iSNS server.
  6. Click OK to save the IP address or host name and return to the Discovery tab of the iSCSI Initiator Properties dialog.
  7. If necessary, add another iSNS server.
    Note: After the iSNS servers have been added, all available iSCSI targets that have been registered in iSNS will appear as available targets.
  8. Save your changes.

    Verify your settings, and then click OK to save the iSNS servers or Cancel to decline.
