Logging into Targets for Multipath Support
After you have successfully installed and enabled MPIO support on a Windows Server,
you must log in to the target. This section describes the steps to log into iSCSI targets
through the WMI GUI. For information on using the iSCSISelect utility to log into an
iSCSI target, see the Emulex Boot for NIC, iSCSI, FCoE, and RoCE Protocols User Manual.
To log in to a target using WMI:
1. Select the Enable multi-path in the Log On to Target window. This must be
selected for every target to be logged in for MPIO. Use the Advanced tab to select
the specific adapter port to use for login.
2. After the target login is complete, select the target and click the Details or
Properties button (depending on the Windows operating system) to see the
multiple sessions connected.
