A status of Connected indicates the iSCSI Initiator is logged into the mpx100/100b and is ready to be
presented with EVA LUNs from HP Command View EVA.
Setting up storage for multiple paths in Windows
To set up storage for multiple paths in Windows:
1. Set up LUNs using HP Command View.
See Using HP Command View EVA to configure LUNs to iSCSI initiators , page 129.
NOTE:
For dual mpx100/100b multipath configurations—when the iSCSI Initiator is logged into both
mpx100's/100b's, HP Command View EVA polls both mpx100's/100b's and recognizes duplicate
entries as the same initiator and displays an initiator only once in its host list. When the Vdisk is
presented, HP Command View EVA updates the initiator on both mpx100's and mpx100b's.
In order for HP Command View EVA to present a LUN to an iSCSI Initiator logged into both
mpx100's/100b's, HP Command View EVA must be able to communicate with the management
port of each mpx100/100b. If HP Command View EVA discovers a link down when trying to
present the LUN, it displays the communication error and does not start the update.
Once the Vdisk is presented to the iSCSI Initiator, it is available to the server as block-level
storage. In Disk Management, rescan the disks or reboot the server to access the iSCSI storage
(see Figure 54 ).
