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...
I am also referring to server 2008 R2. I'm going to post a screenshot. I just configured an iSCSI target(172GB) on a Pro 2, the client is server 2008 R2.
I added iSCSI support to MPIO as I said, I made two connections to the same target with multipath support enabled just as I described(specified which IP's to use on the advanced page), and opened up the command prompt to display the current MPIO disk status as well as the device manager to show that there is no offline or duplicate disk listed.
I have told you exactly how I did it, provided as much information as I can in a single screenshot. If you follow my instructions it should work just fine. There is absolutely NOTHING to configure on the ReadyNAS other than adding the IQN for the initiator to the target's ACL.
Regarding DPM, I don't know what your other SANs are(the ReadyNAS isn't a SAN, it's a NAS) or how you're making the connection to those devices. All I can tell you is that dynamic disks and Microsoft's built in iSCSI initiator do not play nicely with eachother and this behavior has been observed on NAS devices that also support iSCSI besides the ReadyNAS.
