Installing the iSNS Feature
1. Choose Server Manager by clicking the Server Manager icon on the Taskbar.
2. Click number 2 ➢ Add Roles And Features.
3. Choose role-based or featured-based installation and click Next.
4. Choose your server and click Next.
5. Click Next on the Roles screen.
6. On the Select Features screen, choose the iSNS Server Service check box. Click Next.
7. On the Confirmation screen, click the Install button.
8. Click the Close button. Close Server Manager and reboot.
9. Log in and open the iSNS server under Administrative Tools.
10. Click the General tab. This tab displays the list of registered initiators and targets. In
addition to their iSCSI qualified name, it lists storage node type (Target or Initiator),
alias string, and entity identifier (the Fully Qualified Domain Name [FQDN] of the
machine hosting the iSNS client).
11. Click the Discovery Domains tab. The purpose of Discovery Domains is to provide a
way to separate and group nodes. This is similar to zoning in Fibre Channel. The follow-
ing options are available on the Discovery Domains tab:
■ Create is used to create a new discovery domain.
■ Refresh is used to repopulate the Discovery Domain drop-down list.
■ Delete is used to delete the currently selected discovery domain.
■ Add is used to add nodes that are already registered in iSNS to the currently
selected discovery domain.
■ Add New is used to add nodes by entering the iSCSI Qualified Name (iQN) of the
node. These nodes do not have to be currently registered.
■ Remove Used is used to remove selected nodes from the discovery domain.
12. Click the Discovery Domain Sets tab (see Figure 11.7). The purpose of discovery domain
sets is to separate further discovery domains. Discovery domains can be enabled or
disabled, giving administrators the ability to restrict further the visibility of all initiators
and targets. The options on the Discovery Domain Sets tab are as follows:
■ The Enable check box is used to indicate the status of the discovery domain sets
and to turn them off and on.
■ Create is used to create new discovery domain sets.
