ISNS Control Node Client

The LIO iSNS Control Client is directly based on the Linux/iSNS Project. The additional iSNS control client functionality and scripts have been included. Using the iSNS control client functionality against the Linux_iSNS_Server_Howto is stable, and is currently in use on http://linux-iscsi.org.

There is also interest in the long term to provide iSNS using software RFC-4171 heartbeat (this was actually implemented by the original author, and is still present today.

Also option for long term is using LIO T/I mounts using Linux/HA H+A with iSNS server as an cluster resource.

There i386 & x86_64 CentOS 5 client and server builds available from LIO-Cluster Link
