target-isns - Man Page

iSNS client for the Linux LIO iSCSI target

Synopsis

target-isns [OPTION]

Description

target-isns allows registering LIO iSCSI targets with an iSNS server.

The Internet Storage Name Service (iSNS, RFC 4171) protocol makes easier to discover, manage and configure iSCSI devices.

With iSNS, iSCSI targets can be registered with a central iSNS server and initiators can be configured to discover the targets by asking the iSNS server.

-d,  --debug

-f,  --foreground

-s,  --configfs-iscsi-path=PATH

use alternate sys configfs iscsi path

-v,  --version

-h,  --help
