Multipath with XenServer

Is it possible to set up multipathing to one Starwind host? We are running XS 5.6 FP1 and Starwind Free. The closest documentation I could find was at http://www.starwindsoftware.com/tmplink ... Guide.docx. Everything is successful, but how to I present the storage to Xenserver? After completing the steps in the document above, I am able to confirm two TCP connections from Xenserver to SW by going to the SW server and running "netstat -n" to see two connections established on both my subnets:

TCP 192.168.10.220:3260 192.168.10.231:38798 ESTABLISHED
TCP 192.168.11.220:3260 192.168.11.231:38103 ESTABLISHED

Here is my IP addressing scheme.

192.168.10.220 - Starwind eth0
192.168.11.220 - Starwind eth1

192.168.10.231 - Xenserver 1 eth0
192.168.11.231 - Xenserver 1 eth1

192.168.10.232 - Xenserver 2 eth0
192.168.11.232 - Xenserver 2 eth1

192.168.10.233 - Xenserver 3 eth0
192.168.11.233 - Xenserver 3 eth1

I have multipathing successfully configured on these same hosts to a Dell MD3220i.

Hi, what does XenCenter report (x/x pathes active) and what is the output of multipath -ll in the console?
