iSCSI MS/T Support

This system administration feature is new in the Solaris 10 6/06 release.

The iSCSI Multiple session target (MS/T) support feature enables a user to create more iSCSI session or paths to a target as needed. The additional iSCSI paths provide higher bandwidth aggregation and availability in specific configurations. The iSCSI MS/T support feature should be used in combination with MPxIO or other multipathing software.

The new iscsiadm commands are:

• iscsiadm modify initiator-node -c number of sessions

• iscsiadm modify target-param -c number of sessions

The iSCSI MS/T support feature enables higher bandwidth aggregation and availability to the customers with iSCSI arrays that support login redirection.
