If multiple-paths to the Target are available, then you must describe each
path to the iSCSI Initiator. To describe multiple paths to the Initiator:

1 In the Log On to Target window, select Enable multi-path and click

Advanced.

The Advanced option provides a drop-down menu with all possible source
(Initiator) IP addresses and a separate drop-down menu for all possible
Target portal addresses. In this scenario, the Target solution manages the
actual paths and IP addresses internally. Other Target solutions display
each available IP address that can be used for multi-path operations.

2 Select each desired combination of source IP address and Target IP address

and login separately to have multiple sessions for the same Target device.

3 Select Automatically restore this connection when the system boots to

ensure continuous connection and to avoid establishment of
Target-Initiator association during power spike or system reboots.

4 Repeat the Log on process for each iSCSI NIC.

Log On to Target Window
