Windows Multipath I/O Support
This section describes the installation and login processes for multipath I/O support on
Windows Server operating systems.
Multipath Support
MPIO must be installed from the Server Manager. After installing the MPIO feature,
you must launch and configure the MPIO GUI to enable multipath support for iSCSI
devices.
The following steps describe the installation process for setting up Microsoft iSCSI
DSM and enabling multipath I/O for all iSCSI devices irrespective of their vendor and
device IDs. You can use the MPIO GUI to configure DSMs other than Microsoft iSCSI
DSM. Also, you can use the GUI to enable multipath support for a specific vendor ID
and device ID. For details on these topics, refer to the Microsoft TechNet Library on the
Microsoft website.
In a multipath configuration the driver parameters, LDTO and ETO, can be configured
to control the amount of time it takes for the failover operation to complete. The default
value of LDTO is 20 seconds and the default value of ETO is 90 seconds.
For information on modifying the timeout parameters in a failover configuration, refer
to “Error Handling Under MultiPath (MPIO) and Cluster Configurations” on page 668.
If the ETO or LDTO value needs to be modified,
1. Select the Emulex OneConnect iSCSI CNA in the Windows Device Manager under
Storage Controllers.
2. Right click and select Properties. The Device Manager Property page opens.
3. Select the Advanced tab and set the desired value of ETO and LDTO, for example
ETO=120 and LDTO=60.
4. Reboot the system for the changes to take effect.
5. Log into the iSCSI target using WMI. For more information, see “Logging into
Targets for Multipath Support” on page 666.
