Re: MULTI PATH SUPPORT WITH VMWARE ESX 3.5U4 ?

OK; I think I figured it out. The Multipath/MPIO does not allow multiple connections to the same session; rather you must logon multiple times, creating multiple sessions... This works entirely different than the last device I was testing where there were multiple connections to the same session. I ...

Re: MULTI PATH SUPPORT WITH VMWARE ESX 3.5U4 ?

Still no luck; as soon as I make one connection; the subnet that IP address is on becomes the only option for the portal. i.e.; if I connect to the target portal 192.168.201.119, the target portal 192.168.202.119 is no longer an option, only 192.168.201.119.

Re: MULTI PATH SUPPORT WITH VMWARE ESX 3.5U4 ?

Tried uninstalling (including cleaning up the registry) and re-installing; no change. A little more information though... I did get multiple targets to show up the first time I make a connection to the imagefile device. I made this happen by choosing the advanced option when configuring the Target P...

Re: MULTI PATH SUPPORT WITH VMWARE ESX 3.5U4 ?

I am seeing just one connection.

Note; in the Microsoft Initiator; I am seeing only the 192.168.201.17 address as an option in the Target Portal. The documentation you referenced indicates I should see multiple options here. (Your example used 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.2.1)

Re: MULTI PATH SUPPORT WITH VMWARE ESX 3.5U4 ?

Just tried the Microsoft iSCSI initiator; no luck with MPIO there either.

I do have the options to select the 209, 201 or 202 segment address as the Source IP; but the only target portal that shows up is 192.168.201.17 / 3260

I must have something not quite right?

MULTI PATH SUPPORT WITH VMWARE ESX 3.5U4 ?

I am doing an evaluation of the Enterprise Edition product with my VMWare ESX 3.5 (Update 4) systems. I have installed a fresh copy of Windows Server 2003 (all Windows Updates and latest drivers I could find) onto a spare server. Starwind Server Specifications: IBM x346 Dual 3.06Ghz Xeon CPU 1GB RAM...
