Hello there, I have been trying for the last few days (and obviously without success) to create a round-robin load-balanced connection from a Windows 7 client to a iSCSI SAN running on OpenSolaris 2009.06.
On both computers I have 2 network cards setup on 2 different subnets (172.16.1.1/24 and 172.16.2.1/24 as targets and 172.16.1.2/24 and 172.16.2.2/24 as initiators) and I tried enabling the Multipath option on Windows 7 without success. I could connect to the targets with no problems but the multipath advance tab on the Windows client is grayed out and so I can not set up roundrobin. If I try using MCS, it gives an error back saying "too many connections" I read different comments about Windows dropping MPIO support on Vista and WIndows 7, but I do not want to believe that :) I prefer to think it is a configuration fault. I also tried with Comstar, but it behaves exactly in the same way. Any ideas on what I may have missed? Anyone that instead can prove me that Windows 7 really does not support MPIO? If so, can you point me to a different iSCSI initiator that will work on Windows 7 64 bit and that supports Multipath? Thank you in advance for your help Ila -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ storage-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/storage-discuss
