StarWind iSCSI initiator VS MPIO

[sandor.bihary]

Hello All!

I have just met with the StarWind software family but I have very good experience with it. Unfortunately, I have a problem which I could not solve this far. If I create a HA device with an active-active Starwind cluster configuration I can see multiple devices on the Windows initiator side. That's not a problem because I can configure the MPIO driver in the Windows and after that I can see only one device. There is a really good detailed guide for it. That's working perfectly.

The problem is, when I trying to use the StarWind initiator, I am not able to set up the MPIO. So if I mount the disks over Native MS iSCSI initiator MPIO is working fine, but If I am using the StarWind initator the MPIO does not work.

Could you help me what did i miss?

Thanks
Best Regards
Sanyi

You cannot use StarWind Initiator for this. Unfortunately due to the numerious reasons you have to stick with MS iSCSI initiator for production. Sad but true (c) ...
