Quick Install Steps for Initiator-Target Connection

5 In the Log On to Target window, click OK.

The

Targets tab displays the status of the Target as Connected.

6 To accomplish Multipathing, you can use Microsoft MPIO to establish

multiple sessions from host to the same Target device. To establish

multiple sessions:

a

Go to the Targets tab and select the Target that is Connected.

b

Repeat step 1 to step 4.

c

In the Advanced SettingsTarget Portal address, choose the redundant

host IP address and the IP address of the PowerVault NX1950 storage

solution.

NOTE:

During the iSCSI Initiator software installation, Microsoft MPIO is

already selected. MPIO is supported with Initiator version of 2.06 or later. You

require two dedicated iSCSI NICs in the target and initiator for efficient MPIO

connection. Multiple connections per session (MC/S) is not supported on the

PowerVault NX1950 storage solution.

7 To initialize and configure the iSCSI device as local drive and perform iSCSI

I/O operations, select

Computer ManagementDisk Management option.

NOTICE:

If you are configuring the host to access multiple targets (VHD files),

ensure that the hosts are clustered. If multiple hosts access the same target, data

corruption may occur. For more information, see "Enabling Multi-Path on the

Initiator" on page 61.
