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.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Hi<br />
<br />
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, <br />
<br />
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 &nbsp;Enable Multi-Path.<br />
<br />
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?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
