Figure 5 iSCSI initiator's view of P6300/P6500 10 GbE iSCSI/FCoE module's target paths
The FCoE initiators complete automated logins on all discovered paths, so verify that FCoE
connectivity is established to both 10 GbE iSCSI/FCoE modules prior to presenting LUNs using
HP P6000 Command View.
Number of paths required per initiator
After establishing the number of initiators, determine how many paths are required by each initiator.
The number of connections per iSCSI controller is finite, and every initiator login constitutes a
connection to the iSCSI modules or iSCSI/FCoE modules. In a multipath environment, HP
recommends a minimum of one connection per module; high-performance applications may require
full path connectivity to each iSCSI module.
