The Internet Storage Name Service (iSNS) is a network database of iSCSI initiators and targets. If configured, the server can add its list of targets to iSNS, which allows Initiators to easily find them on the network.
The iSNS server list can be managed through the iSNS Servers NAS Manager page. The server registers its iSCSI targets with iSNS database when any of the following events occurs:
- A first iSNS server is added.
- An iSCSI target is added or deleted.
- The iSCSI service is started.
- The iSCSI domain is changed.
- A server IP address is added or removed.
