This section provides the procedures for changing the default administrative settings of the iSNS service and for starting the iSNS daemon. If you change a setting after the iSNS server has been started, you need to refresh the iSNS server. If you change the data store location, you need to restart the iSNS server.
The following tasks are described in this section:
For more details about these operations, see the isns(1M) man page.
Install the iSNS server package and start the iSNS service.
# pkg install service/storage/isns
# svcadm enable isns_server
# svcs svc:/network/isns_server:default STATE STIME FMRI online 16:10:49 svc:/network/isns_server:default
By default, all clients are notified when the iSNS server is not available. To disable these notifications, change the Management_SCNs_Enabled property.

# svccfg -s svc:/network/isns_server setprop config/Management_SCN_Enabled=false
# svcadm refresh svc:/network/isns_server
The default number of retries is 3. If the server does not get a response to three inquiries, it registers that client as unavailable. To change the number of retries, change the value of the ESI Retry Threshold property.

# svcadm refresh svc:/network/isns_server
The default location and name for the file that contains the client data is /etc/isns/isnsdata.xml If you have a complex network environment that includes one or more backup iSNS servers, the data store must reside in a common location so that all servers can use it. Use the data_store_location property to specify the new location. You can also change the name of the file.
