When the redundant boot paths are created using the preceding process, the server will boot as long as
one of the paths is available at boot time. To ensure path redundancy after the operating system is
running, MPIO software will need to be enabled or installed on the server.
• Open the iSCSI Initiator in the Windows Control Panel. If this is the first time you have run the
Initiator, you will receive a message that the iSCSI Service is not running, and you are prompted to
start it. Answer Yes to the prompt, as well as to the follow-on question to add an exception to the
Windows Firewall.
• In Windows 2008 and 2008 R2, the MPIO software is considered an optional component. Using
Server Manager, add the Multi-path I/O feature. This addition will require a system restart to
complete, at which time the EqualLogic Host Integration Kit can be installed.
