Configuring the iSNS server address

If you are using iSCSI-attached hosts with the SAN Volume Controller cluster, you can optionally configure the address for the Internet Storage Name Service (iSNS) server for the cluster. Host systems use the iSNS server to manage iSCSI targets and for iSCSI discovery.

This task assumes that you have already launched the SAN Volume Controller Console. To configure the address for an iSNS server, follow these steps:

  1. In the portfolio, click Configure iSNS Server. The Configure iSNS Server panel is displayed.
  2. On the Configure iSNS Server panel, select either IPv4 or IPv6 for the protocol that is used by the iSNS server and enter the IP address for the server.
  3. Click OK.
After you configure the iSNS server address for the cluster, you can configure cluster iSCSI authentication.
Note: To help in problem determination, this step can be delayed until after the first one or two hosts have been configured and their connectivity has been tested without authentication configured.
