Discovery of iSNS servers |
|
|
Hi,
I am developing an application which will discover iSCSI initiators,iSNS
servers and targets through WMI. As I am new to iSCSI, I would like to know
what softwares should I use to discover iSCSI devices. Is there any CLI which
I can install on my machine to communicate to the iSCSI devices? What
softwares should I have on the iSCSI initiators and iSNS servers and Targets
(Storage array) side? It would be really great to have this information if
someone could provide. |

You could start by installing the Microsoft iSCSI initiator software
and check out iscsicli.exe.

Re: Discovery of iSNS servers |

Thanks Jon. I have a windows machine with Initiators where the MS Initiator
Software is installed and running. I am able to get info of the initiator
using iscsicli. I want to discover iSNS server and Initiators which are on
the network from my machine. I want to get iSCSI Initiator/HBA details,
OSLogical units, session details and iSNS server details by using CLIs or
APIs provided by microsoft. Is there any Microsoft Client side iSCSI software
which I can use to discover those on the network? or Any APIs? if so, can you
please provide the link or let me know the process to purchase or get eval
copy of it?
thanks

The iSCSI initiator supports a win32 interface and WMI classes (which are
remotable). You can look at the DDK for more information - see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/storage/hh/storage/storewmiclass_f35d6f19-fbbe-4ecc-a4fa-354d368f598b.xml.asp
You can also use wbemtest to poke around. The Microsoft iSNS Server also is
manageable through WMI - the MOFs should be in the download.

Thansk Jeff.I played around with Webmtest and scriptomatic tools.but I found
only Win32 WMI classes, not iSCSI related classes. I could not find any MOFs
related to iSCSI in the MS site nor in other sites. Is there any place where
I can download MOFs?Which version of DDK supports full iSCSI support (using
WMI)?Is there eval copy available? or do I have to purchase the full kit?

you should be able to d/l the iSCSI SDK from
www.microsoftstoragepartners.com if you have an NDA and enrolled at the
site.

Be sure to look in the root\wmi namespace on a machine with iSCSI and/or
iSNS installed to find the classes. The classes are not in root\cimv2. MOF
files are also installed in the %windir%\system32 directory

Thank you so much for your information. I will try with iSCSI SDK to get
information about iSNS servers and iSCSI Initiators.
