To support storage array controller failover, the host server must be
connected to at least one iSCSI port on each controller. Repeat step3
through step 8 for each iSCSI port on the storage array that you want to
establish as failover targets. The
Targ et P ort al
address is different for each
port you connected to.
NOTE: To enable the higher throughput of multipathing I/O, the host server
must connect to both iSCSI ports on each controller, ideally from separate
host-side NICs. Repeat step3 through step 7 for each iSCSI port on each
controller. If using a duplex PowerVault MD32xxi configuration, then LUNs
should also be balanced between the controllers.
The
Status
field on the
Targ ets
tab should now display as
Connected
.

Click
OK
to close the Microsoft iSCSI initiator.
NOTE: PowerVault MD32xxi supports only round robin load-balancing
policies.
