isnsadm subcommand [subcommand_options] [operand]
The isnsadm command is the command-line interface to the Internet
Storage Name Service (iSNS) server. isnsadm comprises a set of
subcommands, described in their own section, each of which
accomplishes one of the iSNS server management functions.
For any operations that will change the iSNS configurations the
solaris.isnsmgr.write authorization is required. Refer to isns(8).
For read operations, the command does not require special
authorizations.
isnsadm has a set of general options and a set of subcommand-specific
options. The first category is described under OPTIONS; the second
category is described in the context of each subcommand description.
The following options are supported:

arguments.
-V, --version
Displays version information. Stops interpretation of any
subsequent arguments.
