The IESG has approved the following document:
- 'Internet Storage Name Service (iSNS) '
<draft-ietf-ips-isns-22.txt> as a Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the IP Storage Working Group.
The IESG contact persons are Allison Mankin and Jon Peterson.
Technical Summary
iSNS allows the administrator to go beyond a simple device-by-device
management model, where each storage device is manually and
individually configured with its own list of known initiators and
targets. Using the iSNS, each storage device subordinates its
discovery and management responsibilities to the iSNS server. The
iSNS server thereby serves as the consolidated configuration point
through which management stations can configure and manage the
entire storage network, including both iSCSI and Fibre Channel
devices. This specification records consensus that iSNS is optional
to implement for iSCSI and mandatory for iFCP.
The specification includes server authentication among other security
services, as well as a security analysis.
Working Group Summary
The working group conducted thorough review of this document
and had strong consensus to advance this document.
Protocol Quality
The specification was reviewed for the IESG by Allison Mankin.
