HP EVA Array iSCSI Connectivity Option - Manual (Page 107)

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
( Figure 56 )
2. Reboot your system.
