About iSNS Configuration Distribution

You can use the CFS infrastructure to distribute the iSCSI initiator configuration to iSNS servers across the fabric. This configuration allows the iSNS server running on any switch to provide a querying iSNS client with a list of iSCSI devices available anywhere on the fabric.

To enable iSNS configuration distribution using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:

  1. Choose End Devices > iSNS.

You see the iSNS configuration in the Information pane.

  1. Click the CFS tab and select enable from the Admin drop-down menu for iSNS.
  2. Select enable from the Global drop-down menu for iSNS.
  3. Click the Apply Changes icon to save this change.
