13. Click OK to close the Microsoft Initiator. 14. To format your iSCSI partition, use Disk Manager. NOTES: No teaming support for iSCSI-enabled adapters is available at this point. MPIO handles all failover and link aggregation for iSCSI traffic. Network teaming and MPIO are supported concurrently on different ports. Ports running iSCSI use MPIO and ports running LAN traffic use network teaming. If a Broadcom network adapter has iSCSI offload enabled, the teaming software, BASP, will not allow the iSCSI offload enabled network port interface to be a part of any network team. iSCSI Offload FAQs Q: How do I assign an IP address for iSCSI offload? A: Use the Configurations tab in Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 3 (BACS). Q: What tools should be used to create the connection to the target? A: Use Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator (version 2.08 or later). Q: How do I know that the connection is offloaded? A: Use Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator. From a command line, type iscsicli sessionlist. From Initiator Name, an iSCSI offloaded connection will display an entry beginning with "B06BDRV...". A non-offloaded connection will display an entry beginning with "Root...". Q: What configurations should be avoided? A: The IP address should not be the same as the LAN.
