mpio with starwind

Hello,

Starwind seems to support mpio. But how do you set it up on the starwind side and on the initiator side? You have some great howto's on your website, perhaps you can create one for "mpio with starwind"?

thanks

Hi.
We have a draft:

Hi Bohdan. I followed the steps in the draft that you posted. For the most part it worked fine. But I noticed a couple of discrepancies.

In Windows 2008, the "MPIO Capable" column said "Disk Drive" instead of "Multi-Path Support" (as seen on page 33 of the doc).

Also, in both Windows 2003 & Windows 2008, the Portal Group Count was 1, and each portal had an index of 0. On page 36, it shows a portal group count of 2, with indices of 1 and 0.

Functionally everything seems fine. But I was wondering if you could explain why I'm seeing something somewhat different from what your document says... Is it anything I should be concerned about?

Thanks,
Mike
