Correctly setting upWin 2008 R2 ISCSI Initiator for Multi Pathing to connect to our ISCSI SAN

Hi

We have a HP P4000 ISCSI SAN, i have a windows 2008R2 server that i have presented the LUN to and its all showing up fine as useable storage in Windows Disk management,

I want to confirm that i have it setup correctly for Multi Pathing, basically my Windows box has 2 NIC's for ISCSI traffic, When i add the new volume in the ISCSI target on the Logon i make sure i tick the box that says automatically reconnect and Enable Multi-Path.

Do i need to do anything else, is there somewherei can check to make sure that both paths are being used, will it list 2 different connects to the storage for each lun thats presented?

Thanks

Thanks, I have attached some screenshots, When i look at the devices they appear to have lots of sessions (Pic4) however my concern is that on Pic3 i only have a signle connection from one of my ISCSI NIC cards, if i try to add another i get an error saying to many connections, maybe im just mis understanding how this works , does that sound correct.

Thanks

Nick
