What is a characteristic of iSNS?

A.
Assigns iSCSI names to the available targets

B.
Authenticates iSCSI gateways automatically

C.
Requires manual configuration and registration of initiators

D.
Provides a list of available targets to the initiator

Explanation:
iSCSI Discovery
An initiator must discover the location of its targets on the network and the names of the targets
available to it before it can establish a session. This discovery can take place in two ways:
SendTargets discovery or internet Storage Name Service (iSNS).
In SendTargets discovery, the initiator is manually configured with the target’s network portal to
establish a discovery session. The initiator issues the SendTargets command, and the target
network portal responds with the required parameters of the targets available to the host.
iSNS enables automatic discovery of iSCSI devices on an IP network. The initiators and targets
can be configured to automatically register themselves with the iSNS server. Whenever an initiator
wants to know the targets that it can access, it can query the iSNS server for a list of available
targets.
