Configures iSNS servers.
The isns_servers file is used to configure iSNS servers. This file is used for the iSCSI target registration with iSNS protocol while configuring an iSCSI target. You can use comments in the isns_servers file. The comment character is "*", and must be the first character on the line. Blank lines are ignored.
The isns_servers file is a stanzas normalized file. Each stanza can be defined with the following two attributes:
The default stanza defines the default ip_address and port that are used if one field is omitted.
The registration_period stanza allows you to set the refresh period for the iSNS registration. The iSNS server removes the registration after a period of time. A daemon has to refresh registrations before this lifetime. The period field of registration_period defines the period of time that an iSNS daemon can use. This setting is common for all iSNS servers that are defined in this file.
