Discovering iSCSI Targets
iSCSI target discovery is performed across the IP-SAN by the iSCSI initiator
located on the server. The V-Switch supports three methods for reporting iSCSI
targets in the IP-SAN to iSCSI initiators:
ƒ iSCSI Discovery Session
ƒ SLP
ƒ iSNS
iSCSI Discovery Session
The V-Switch supports iSCSI discovery sessions for reporting iSCSI targets to
iSCSI initiators. A V-Switch network IP address must be configured on the
iSCSI initiator for the initiator to connect to and discover the V-Switch’s
attached iSCSI targets.
SLP
The V-Switch supports Service Location Protocol (SLP) by acting as an SLP
Service Agent (SA). No configuration is necessary. An SLP SA services User
Agents (UAs). UAs are iSCSI initiators that query a network for all attached
iSCSI targets. The V-Switch supports the specific service service:iscsi:target.
