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
