2. Highlight iSCSI Initiator Name and press <Enter> to edit the initiator name.
This is a global setting. The initiator name configured on one adapter is reflected on
all adapters in the system.
Note: HP systems are an exception to the previous statement. Each port on an HP
system can be configured with a unique initiator name.

Configuring MPIO
MPIO support allows the initiator to log in dual sessions to the same target. In this way
I/O can be sent over either TCP/IP connection to the target. If one session fails another
session can continue processing I/O without interruption to the application. In iSCSI
target configuration, you have the option of setting dual network paths to a single boot
LUN.
Note: Although MPIO boot support allows the initiator to log into multiple sessions,
the iSCSI BIOS currently limits the number of sessions to two iSCSI sessions for
a single boot LUN.
You must follow these steps in this order to configure MPIO boot support for each
operating system.
1. Use the Emulex iSCSI configuration utility to configure the first path to a boot
target.
2. Complete normal operating system installation.
