Notes about Microsoft iSCSI:

Setting the load balancing with the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator for an iSCSI device that is claimed by Veritas DMP DSMs does not change the load balancing of the Veritas DMP DSM. Setting the load balancing of an iSCSI device claimed by a Veritas DMP DSM should be done with the SFW VEA GUI or CLI commands.



Known Problems:

After installing SFW 5.1 DDI-1 on a system that is running SFW 5.1 without the DMP option, the DMP option is shown as not being selected in the Veritas Storage Foundation for Windows (Server Components) entry of the Windows Control Panel. This is a known problem.
