Two sessions with one TCP connection are configured from the host to each controller (one session per port), for a total of four sessions. The multi-path failover driver balances I/O access across the sessions to the ports on the same controller. In a duplex configuration, with virtual disks on each controller, creating sessions using each of the iSCSI data ports of both controllers increases bandwidth and provides load balancing.
