The current technology for discovering network iSCSI devices is not
good. Most administrators just have to "know" the name and location of
remote storage, but this becomes problematic when there are a log of
devices (or the administrator has a bad memory).
The current "solution" for this is supposed to be open-isns, but it's
overly complicated and so generally not used.
Hannes suggesting using zeroconf (bonjour) to make storage devices
easily discoverable, but questions remain. Is this feasable? Should
open-isns be modified to also broadcast via zeroconf, or is a new daemon
needed? Does anyone else care? (Honestly, I can't judge actual demand
for this very well.)
Thanks.
