b In the Logon to Target window, select Advanced.., and then select the
IP address of a different host.
c In the Advanced Settings window, select the redundant iSCSI
IP address of the PowerVault NF500/NF600 storage system.
Selecting the redundant iSCSI IP address ensures that the iSCSI
network traffic and the public network traffic are on separate subnets.
This also allows load balancing/failover.
NOTE:
You can also configure load balancing and failover by using Microsoft
MPIO support or Multiple Connections per Session (MC/S). Currently the
PowerVault NF500/NF600 storage systems only supports the MPIO option. The
MC/S option is not supported with PowerVault NF500/NF600 storage solution
and PowerVault NF500/NF600 cluster systems.

iSCSI Initiator host and click Start → Control Panel → Administrative
tools
