Configuring multisession on the Microsoft Windows operating system
Microsoft Windows operating system supports multisession connections.
About this task
- PathVerifyEnabled:
This flag enables path verification by MPIO on all paths every N seconds (where N depends on the value set in the PathVerificationPeriod panel). The type is boolean and must be filled out with either 0 (disable) or 1 (enable). The value is set to Disabled by default. You must change the value to Enabled.
- PathVerificationPeriod:
This setting indicates the period, in seconds, within which MPIO is expected to complete path verification. This field is only honored if PathVerifyEnabled is True. This default value is 30 seconds. The maximum value that is allowed is MAXULONG. You must set this value to 60 seconds.
- PDORemovePeriod:
This setting controls the amount of time, in seconds, that the multipath pseudo-LUN will remain in system memory, even after losing all paths to the device. The default is 20 seconds. The maximum value that is allowed is MAXULONG. You must set this value to 60 seconds.
Detailed information about the procedure to set these values is available by searching for "Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator Version 2.08" from the following website:
