NAME
       isnsdd -	iSNS discovery daemon

SYNOPSIS
       isnsdd [-f] [-c filename] [-d debug-facility]

DESCRIPTION
       Isnsdd is a client side daemon for iSNS.	It registers storage nodes and
       portals	with  the iSNS service,	and refreshes these registrations in a
       timely manner.

       The daemon also registers itself	 to  receive  SCN  notifications,  and
       processes  these. It can	be configured to invoke	an external helper ap-
       plication for each status notification received.	The path name  of  the
       helper  application  can	 be specified via the SCNCallout option	in the
       configuration file.

OPTIONS
       By default, isnsd will take most	of its settings	from the configuration
       file /etc/isns/isnsdd.conf, with	the addition of	the following  command
       line options:

       --config	filename, -c filename
	      This option overrides the	default	configuration file.

       --foreground,-f
	      By default, isnsd	will put itself	into the background. By	speci-
	      fying this option, you can tell it to run	in the foreground. Any
	      error  messages  or  debug output	will be	printed	to the console
	      rather than being	sent to	syslog.

       --role role
	      This tells the discovery daemon in which capacity	is should reg-
	      ister itself with	the iSNS server.  Role can be  either  initia-
	      tor, or control.	The default is to register as an initiator.

	      Registering  target nodes	needs to use a different mechanism, as
	      the iSCSI	target server needs to	inform	the  discovery	daemon
	      about  each  exported target separately. This is not implemented
	      yet.

       --debug facility, -d facility
	      enables debugging. Valid facilities are

	 +---------+-----------------------------------------------------+
	 | socket  | network send/receive				 |
	 | auth	   | authentication and	security related information	 |
	 | message | iSNS protocol layer				 |
	 | state   | database state					 |
	 | scn	   | SCN (state	change notification) messages		 |
	 | esi	   | ESI (entity status	inquiry) messages		 |
	 | all	   | all of the	above					 |
