Figure 6. Initiator Configuration 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. 49

Figure 6. Initiator Configuration
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.
