ISNS (Internet Storage Name Service Protocol) Publit the ISCSI Scalable Configuration and Management and Fiber Channel (FC) storage devices in IP networks, which provides services available on a set of fiber channel networks, so ISNS supports fiber channel structure IP network function in. The ISNS allows administrators to cross-simple Device-by-Device management mode, each storage device rely manually and configures independent, thereby causing certain inconvenience. However, in ISNS, each storage device discovery and management must be obedient to the ISNS server, so the ISNS server is considered to be a unified configuration point, through which management station can configure and manage the entire storage network, including iSCSI and fiber channel devices.
In the case of the necessary case, ISNS supports the implementation of iSCSI and / or IFCP protocol; ISNS may support one or two protocols according to actual needs. The specific implementation of each protocol requires further discussion in the fifth part. For iSCSI, ISNS is optional; for IFCP, ISNS is required.
ISNS mainly includes the following four features:
Name Registration and Discovery Service Discovery Domain (DD: Discovery Domain) and Login Control Service Status Change Notification Service Fiber Channel and ISCSI Device Open Map
