Microsoft MPIO with QLogic iSCSI HBA

The QLogic iSCSI HBA is supported in a multipath Windows configuration that is used in conjunction

with Microsoft iSCSI Initiator Services and Microsoft MPIO. Because the iSCSI driver resides onboard the

QLogic iSCSI HBA it is not necessary to install the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator.

Installing the QLogic iSCSI HBA

Install the QLogic iSCSI HBA hardware and software following the instructions in the QLogic installation

manual. The QLogic iSCSI HBA is managed by QLogic’s SANsurfer Management Suite (SMS).

NOTE:

Once the QLogic iSCSI HBA is installed, the configuration settings for the QLogic iSCSI Initiator must now

be set through SMS. The QLogic iSCSI HBA will not appear in Microsoft’s Network Connection device list.

Installing the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator services and MPIO

To install the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator:

1.

Access the Microsoft iSCSI Initiation Installation page of the Software Update Installation Wizard

(
