To add or remove Microsoft iSCSI initiator components after the initial installation, run the setup
package executable and select the Microsoft MPIO Multipathing Support for iSCSI check box. The
application automatically selects the check boxes for components that are already installed. For
example, if you want to add the Microsoft MPIO component, leave the other check boxes blank;
select only the Microsoft MPIO check box.
NOTE:
After the installation is complete, you must reboot the system.
IMPORTANT:
Windows XP Professional does not support Microsoft MPIO.
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Scalable Networking Pack
The Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Scalable Networking Pack (SNP) includes the TCP Chimney
feature, which allows TCP network processing to be off-loaded to hardware. SNP also includes the
Receive Side Scaling feature, which allows receive packet processing to scale across multiple CPUs.
The HP NC3xxx Multifunction Gigabit server adapters use SNP to support TCP off-load functionality.
