Does it always accept one value, or is it allowed to use more values? Say:

tgtadm --op update --mode sys --name iSNSServerIP -v 192.168.11.133
tgtadm --op update --mode sys --name iSNSServerIP -v 192.168.22.233
tgtadm --op update --mode sys --name iSNSServerIP -v 192.168.33.33

Looks iSNSServerIP will be updated each time with commands above.

Yeah, we have the only one iSNS server.

Mike, do we need to support multiple iSNS servers? I completely forgot
about iSNS stuff. :)

I do not know. There is a section on backup isns servers in the rfc, but I do not think any of it is required and I am not sure any isns server really supports it well. People are probably adding redundancy at a higher level and not relying on the isns clients/servers to handle it.

If it is a lot of work, I would not waste time on it. For open-iscsi I added the ability to support multiple servers but then I found that I could not find any targets that support more than one and I could not find any servers that support the stuff in rfc4171#section-2.7 out of the box.

So for open-iscsi you can basically just do discovery to multiple servers and get scns from multiple servers, but there is no support for handling failing over from one server to another.
