Chapter 50 Configuring iSCSI
iSNS
When the iSNS client is unable to register or deregister objects with the iSNS server (for example, the
client is unable to make a TCP connection to the iSNS server), it retries every minute to reregister all
iSNS objects for the affected interfaces with the iSNS server. The iSNS client uses a registration interval
value of 15 minutes. If the client fails to refresh the registration during this interval, the server will
deregister the entries.
Untagging a profile also causes the network entity and portal to be deregistered from that interface.
Note The iSNS client is not supported on a VRRP interface.
