Not handling more than two MPIO connections

Is there a command to enable the HIT Kit to allow more than two MPIO connections?

I have a Windows Server with four dedicated iSCSI NICs, and the MPIO software from the HIT kit is not able to sustain more than two MPIO connections.

I can introduce a third and fourth session, but the MPIO software drops these connections after less than a minute.

Here's my configuration:

- Dell EqualLogic PS6500X (one member)
- Windows Server 2012 R2 iSCSI initiator
- HIT Kit version 4.7.

MPIO Configuration:

  • MaxSessionsPerVolumeSlice : 4
  • MaxSessionPerEntireVolume : 6
  • DefaultLoadBalancing      : 4
  • DefaultLoadBalancingText  : Least Queue Depth
  • MinAdaptorSpeed           : 1000
  • UseMPIOForSnapshots       : True
  • UseIPv6                   : False

MPIO Rule:

Type       : Default Rule
SubnetMask :
Network    :
Included   : False

Type       : MAC Address Rul
SubnetMask :
Network    :
Included   : False

Type       : MAC Address Rul
SubnetMask :

Type       : Subnet Rule
SubnetMask : 10.10.240.0
Network    : 255.255.255.0

Type       : Subnet Rule

Type       : Subnet Rule
SubnetMask : 10.21.60.0
Network    : 255.255.255.0

MPIO Adapter Configuration:

IPAddress    Included
---------    --------
10.10.240.60     True
10.10.240.61     True
10.10.240.62     True
10.10.240.63     True

Don,

Thanks for the quick reply.

If the two iSCSI interfaces in use went offline, would the HIT KIT MPIO pick up the remaining two "inactive" interfaces?
