4. The Virtual IP is listed in the General section.
5. Another way to discover the VIP of the storage pool is to check the iSCSI initiator connected to the
volumes or snapshots in the storage pool.
For example, with the Microsoft Windows iSCSI initiator, the VIP is listed on the Discovery tab.

Multipathing with iSCSI configurations
• Access the SVMC to configure StoreVirtual networking. See the StoreVirtual Management Console
Online Help for more information.
Each controller has a pair of physical network interfaces that are bonded together.
• Two IP addresses are assigned to the bond for optimal performance.
• A total of four or eight IP addresses can be defined depending upon the number of ports.
• A virtual IP address can be configured.
• The client must be enabled with multipathing so that it knows that the same disk is accessible from
multiple paths.
• An iSCSI session from each initiator IP to the virtual IP address used by the StoreVirtual storage
system must be created.
