In the VM I installed the DSM MPIO and discovered the target and ticked the "Use mult-path" option in the iSCSI initiator.
Looking in the CMC I'm only showing a single session/connection to that volume.
I expected to see multiple sessions even with just a single NIC in the server - I guess I've misunderstood or missed something?
This is SANiQ 9.0 with the latest Windows Solution Pack as downloaded by the CMC.
Thanks,
Paul
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: DSM MPIO - How many sessions should I see?
So if you had six storage nodes in the cluster, you'd see 7 sessions. Did you set an iSCSI VIP for your single node cluster?

Re: DSM MPIO - How many sessions should I see?
In the CMC I'm just seeing a single connection from the MS iSCSI initiator to the volumes gateway connection.
I can add a session manually to the iSCSI initiator but I thought that was the entire point of installing the DSM, that it would do that for me so long as I ticked the MPIO option?

SolutionYou should have 3 connections for each volume and you are absolutely correct, it should create the connections for you automatically (typically takes 10-15 seconds after the initial connection for the MPIO ones to get connected).

Re: DSM MPIO - How many sessions should I see?
I reinstalled the DSM MPIO and rebooted and it seems to have sorted itself out now and I see multiple connections 6 per target which would make sense with dual NICs.
Thanks Bryan, still not sure if it was the reinstall or the reboot but no matter.
