Single host direct-attached to a single storage system using MPIO
You can configure SnapDrive for Windows to employ FC or iSCSI HBAs to support MPIO between a host and a single direct-attached storage system.
Using FC HBAs, the host and storage system in this configuration each use the following connection hardware:
2 FC HBAs to transfer multipathed LUN data between storage system and host
1 Fast Ethernet (or GbE) NIC to connect to the data-center fabric
Using iSCSI HBAs or the Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator, the storage system in this configuration has two GbE adapters, and the host has one or both of the following:
2 or more iSCSI HBAs
The Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator and 2 GbE NICs
