12
is a client side daemon for iSNS. It registers storage
13
nodes and portals with the iSNS service, and refreshes
14
these registrations in a timely manner.
16
The daemon also registers itself to receive SCN notifications,
17
and processes these. It can be configured to invoke an
18
external helper application for each status notification
19
received. The path name of the helper application can be
22
option in the configuration file.
26
will take most of its settings from the configuration
28
.BR /etc/isns/isnsdd.conf ,
29
with the addition of the following command line options:
31
.BI \--config " filename\fR, " \-c " filename
32
This option overrides the default configuration file.
34
.BR \--foreground , \-f
37
will put itself into the background. By specifying this option, you can
38
tell it to run in the foreground. Any error messages or debug output
39
will be printed to the console rather than being sent to syslog.
42
This tells the discovery daemon in which capacity is should register itself
46
.BR initiator ", or " control .
47
The default is to register as an initiator.
49
Registering target nodes needs to use a different mechanism, as
50
the iSCSI target server needs to inform the discovery daemon
51
about each exported target separately. This is not implemented
54
.BI \--debug " facility\fR, " \-d " facility
55
enables debugging. Valid facilities are
60
socket,network send/receive
61
auth,authentication and security related information

message,iSNS protocol layer
64
scn,SCN (state change notification) messages
65
