You should see 2 or more identifiers, depending on how many NICs you've used in the connection. Now you need to setup the disk just like any other new disk in the diskmanagement MMC. After formating it and mounting it to the appropriate letter, its important to go back into the iSCSI initiator page and configure the "Volumes and Devices" tab.
I just pressed the "Autoconfigure" button to let windows discover my iSCSI targets and what drive letters they will reside at. I'm going to finish this up a bit later Posted by Peter C at PM.

When you say you can't "get the traffic to utilize more than 1 network connection", there's two parts to it: First, how many luns are you using Load balancing a single lun one drive letter, so to speak is much, much harder than load balancing multiple luns.
You can get a huge head start by breaking the iSCSI share into two separate luns, then configuring iSCSI on the Windows box so that: Windows network card 1 is the primary path for lun 1, and it points to Linux network card A Windows network card 2 is the primary path for lun 2, and it points to Linux network card B with a separate IP address This lets you bypass the one-connection limit in a duct-tape way, but you won't be able to get more than 1 network connection of throughput to a single lun at a given time.
Next, are you measuring send speeds or receive speeds? Improve this answer. Brent Ozar Brent Ozar 4, 16 16 silver badges 21 21 bronze badges.

That white paper has about the same qualities as most of Microsoft's white papers -- it's a nice document to answer a checklist sales question, but nearly useless for doing an implementation.

Note Do not change the default parameters. Default parameters:. When multiple subnets are not an option, you can still configure multiple interfaces on the same subnet for high-availability only purposes. For multipath-based HA and for load balancing, multiple sessions must be manually added to declare the different paths that are available.
For example, if the host has two interfaces that are connected to the storage area network SAN , and if the appliance has two interfaces that are connected to the SAN, four sessions are needed and have to be configured by using correct path permutations.
To add sessions when an appliance that has two network adapters is connected to a host that has two network adapters, follow these steps:. Perform a discovery of the target. This displays the Connect to Target dialog box. Leave the default selected target setting for Add this connection to the list of favorite targets. This makes the system automatically try to restart the connection every time that the computer restarts. Click Advanced to open the Advanced Settings dialog box.
Click Properties. In the Properties dialog box that is displayed, click Add Session. You have added a second session to the target. Repeat Steps 8 through 10 to add more sessions paths to the target. With two interfaces on the host and two on the appliance, a total of four sessions can be added.
After you add the desired sessions paths , select the target in the iSCSI Initiator Properties dialog box, and then click Properties to display the dialog box. On the Sessions tab, notice the four session identifiers that correspond to all the possible path permutations.
