Advanced Configuration Details
Enabling Multi-Path on the Initiator
After you establish the iSCSI Initiator-Target connection, perform the
following steps to enable multi-path operation:
1 On the Initiator, go to iSCSI Initiator Properties→ Targets tab→ Log
On... → Log On to Target window and select the check box for Enable
multi-path option.
2 You must configure multiple NIC ports for iSCSI operation for efficient
block (iSCSI) I/O operations and for provisioning link failover. Multi-path
option also enables multiple connections for the same iSCSI Targets using
different IP addresses.
