Trying to configure iSCSI multipath
Hi, using Pro 6. I upgraded ti 4.2.19T4 to see if it does not crash after some seconds of heavy I/O with iSCSI. It continues to crash... Now I'm trying to setup multipath to see if it has some effe...
The "DELETE ALL LUNS" problem was solved cleaning IE9 cache/cookies/anything. The problem about italian version of the page being different from english one persists. Also the wrong link to the docs is there.
About multipath: I have dozens of 2008R2 server connected via multipath to other SANs, so I know how to configure it. The problem is that I found no way to tell the MPIO driver to use PRO6 disk as MPIO, so I thought I needed to enable something on the SAN (just like other SANs).
Could you please tell me what device id I need to put into the MPIO panel to have it work on PRO6? Each and every one I used was not working...
These are the steps I took, from the beginning, maybe someone find it useful being missing the documentation:
1) set the primary IP on the first interface to an address in the 10.x.x.x class
2) set the secondary interface IP to an address in the 192.168.x.y class
3) created an iSCSI LUN
4) Installed MPIO on Win 2008 R2
5) put the device id into the MPIO panel as per http://download.microsoft.com/download/ ... 8/mpio.doc (appendix b)
6) at reboot I connected iSCSI target using multipath option
This should lead to a mpioed disk, but it doesn't. Having done it lots of times, the only problem can be with device ids, but it seems I had no way to find out the right ones.
So could you please give me links to the docs about PRO6 iSCSI device IDs or post them on the forum for everyone to benefit? Data returned from mpclaim (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/libr ... 9743(WS.10).aspx) does not work also, and since it worked on the same machine with other SANs i thought it was a problem on the PRO6.
Thanks
