This section will detail setting up iSCSI and Multipath IO (MPIO) on a Windows Server 2016 host using PowerShell cmdlets. Although this is not a mandatory section, proper iSCSI setup on a host or VM is a critical part of ensuring successful provisioning of HYPERMAX OS iSCSI storage. As said earlier, the host in the example is a Windows Server 2016 using Intel X520 Dual Port 10 GbE NICs with the ProSet driver and tools. The commands listed in this section could be used as a template for a PowerShell script to automatically set up any iSCSI on a Windows Server 2016 host.
Note: This guide will not provide a tutorial on PowerShell syntax. For full detailed information about PowerShell and setting up iSCSI on Windows Server 2016, consult Microsoft TechNet.
