core-iscsi-tools comes with iSNS code/scripts that allow for automatic registration/deregistration as well as listing nodes within the discovery domain the initiator node is a member of, as well as listing only target nodes + network portals that is useful for an initiator node. Some of the scripting work that is left related to iSNS involves presenting a list of target nodes + network portals returned via iSNS, allowing the SAN admin of establishing sessions into these discovered nodes along with authentication information, comparing the discovered node list form iSNS against the current active or configuration defined with the option to make iSNS discovery data persistent. In the context of small devices like the Nokia 770, I imagine the iSNS information to appear much like wireless information appears: A list of the available target nodes (access points), if the target node requires authentication credentials (WEP/WPA keys) the user can enter this information and have the option to save said information for later use. After a successful login and LUN scan the newly detected LUNs would be presented to the user and can be formatted if no filesystem exists and assigned mountpoints that can be temporary or perminent. I think something also these lines would make iSCSI on easy to use on these types of devices, as well as beneifical to iSCSI initiator nodes that you cannot fit in your pocket. :-) Thanks! -- Nicholas A.
