Explanation

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.
