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 window, select Enable multi-path and select 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.
Figure A-4. Log On to Target Window
For MPIO connection, you must select the Target that displays status as
Connected and select Log On. In the Log On to Target window, select
Advanced and configure redundant iSCSI Target IP address.
NOTE:
MPIO connections are not supported with the PowerVault NX1950 cluster
solution configured with 3.0 iSCSI Target. MPIO connections are supported with

iSCSI Initiator version 2.06 or later.
