Hi,
I've installed SW on a 2012R2 physical host as a iSCSI target für testing purposes. I've created a target (mutlipath enabled) and a device. The server has 2 NIC ports for iSCSI traffic each on a seperate subnet. The physical initiator host has it's own NICs too.
I added the target portals with both IPs of the SW server but I only get 1 target shown on the initiator host. Now I'm confused because I exepcted to get the device twice. iSCSI MPIO is activated on both hosts. Of course, I can connect the device but I will not get any multipath features enabled.
If I do not totally misunderstood the concept of 1-Node multipath whats the reason that I only get 1 target device shown?

Welcome to StarWind Forum. I believe there is a misunderstanding of some sort.
There is only one StarWind target which is available over 2 paths. It is expected to be listed as one target with an option to be accessed over 2 paths.

Ok thanks, I think I was a little bit confused because of the bevahiour of our 2-node active/active installations. I had to add the second path via the property menu of the active session.

Why sometimes the output takes abnormally longer time, versus sometimes takes normally shorter time？
