c In the Advanced Settings window, select the redundant iSCSI
IP address of the PowerVault NX1950 storage system.
Selecting the redundant iSCSI IP address ensures that the iSCSI
network traffic and the public network traffic are on separate subnets.
This also allows load balancing/Failover.
The iSCSI connection is now established and the device is ready for
block I/O operations.
NOTE: You can also configure Load balancing and failover by using Microsoft
MPIO support or Multiple Connections per Session (MC/S). Currently the
MPIO option is supported with PowerVault NX1950 storage solution and
PowerVault NX1950 cluster solution configured with 3.1 iSCSI Target and
Microsoft iSCSI Initiator version 2.06 or later. The MC/S option is not
supported with PowerVault NX1950 storage system and PowerVault NX1950
cluster solutions.
