iScsi connection to MD3620i
Hello,
I have a Host Windows Server 2008 R2 with two NIC's.
have configured the iscsi connections to the MD3620I using the MDCU. By default the MDCU has set the mpio policy to "least Queue Depth"
When I went to change the policy settings on the iSCSI initiator to "Fail over Only", I am getting a error "Incorrect policy Settings"
How can I change this ?
Thank you

Hello....yes both the controllers are configured and when I check the MPIO details for the device I can see 2 Active and 2 Standby paths. I am running Windows server 2008 R2

Hello chakriit,
Not sure if you are using the deployment guide or not but here is a link to it & if you look on page 43-51 it explains how to set it up. ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_ser_stor_net/esuprt_powervault/powervault-md3620i_Deployment%20Guide_en-us.pdf Also do you have 2 nic’s for iSCSI or do you just have 2 nic’s in the server? it is recommend that you have 2 iSCSI nic’s in the server.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.

I don't think multipathing with auto failover works when connecting a MD3620i to a Windows server with multiple volumes. I've tried for sometime, and the best i've got it is working until I change the owning controller of the volume. The multipathing components of the MD3620i install CD don't seem to do anything useful.

Hello chakriit,
Need to check and make sure that both controllers are configured & that multipathing is set correct. Also what OS are you using that you are configuring the MDCU?
