To support storage array controller failover, the host server must be
connected to at least one iSCSI port on each controller. Repeat step 3
through step 8 for each iSCSI port on the storage array that you want to
establish as failover targets. The
Target Portal
address is different for each
port you connected to.
NOTE: To enable the higher throughput of multipathing I/O, the host server
must connect to both iSCSI ports on each controller, ideally from separate
host-side NICs. Repeat step 3 through step 7 for each iSCSI port on each
controller. If using a duplex MD36
x
0i configuration, then LUNs should also be
balanced between the controllers.
The
