sns
Internet Storage Name Service (iSNS) is a protocol that facilitates automated discovery, management, and
configuration of iSCSI devices on a TCP/IP net-work. iSNS service runs on an iSNS server on your network.
You can enable iSNS on the Vess and specify the IP address and port number of the iSNS server.
chAP
Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) is an authentication
mechanism used to authenticate iSCSI sessions between initiators and targets.
A uni-directional or peer CHAP authenticates from the target (Vess) to the initiator (host PC or server).
A bi-directional or local CHAP authenticates target to initiator and initiator to target .
P
ing
Ping is a computer network administration utility that tests whether a device is accessable over the IP network.
Ping sends echo request packets to the target node, such as your host PC or server, and waits for a response.
It measures the time from transmission to re-ception and records any packet loss.
Vess can ping through its virtual management port and each of its iSCSI data ports. You must input the IP
address of the target client.
