slackbuilds/open-isns/build

This is a partial implementation of iSNS, according to RFC4171.



The distribution comprises



isnsd

This is the iSNS server, supporting persistent storage

of registrations in a file based database.



isnsadm

A command line utility for querying the iSNS database,

and for registering/deregistering nodes and portals



isnsdd

An iSNS Discovery Daemon, which is still very much work

in progress. The daemon is supposed to handle all the

bit banging and server communications required to register

a node, its portals, and to maintain the registration.

It is also supposed to use the iSNS State Change Notification

framework to learn of new targets or initiators coming online,

and inform local services (such as the iSCSI initiator daemon)

about these changes.



NOTE

Due to a static library dependency this Slackbuild is required to

compile the Linux Open-iSCSI Initiator (open-iscsi). It is not required

to run the initiator, therefore it does not need to be installed unless

you intend to use any of the ISNS components on your network.
