Enabling VIP Load Balancing for Performance
Virtual IP load balancing, or just
load balancing, is a setting on each
authentication group within SAN/iQ
that allows for iSCSI sessions to be
distributed throughout the cluster of
SAN/iQ nodes to maximize
performance and bandwidth
utilization. Most modern initiators
support this feature including the
QLogic iSCSI HBAs. All SAN/iQ
authentication groups for QLogic
iSCSI HBA initiators should have
this feature enabled.
Discovery of the first iSCSI volume
Discovering new volumes
on an QLogic iSCSI HBA
does not happen
automatically.
To discover the first
volume, Start SANsurfer.
Select connecting to the
localhost if installed on
the same server. Note
that the default
SANsurfer password is
config. Open up the Host
on the left window pane
and select the HBA you
wish to configure. Open the Port. Select the Target Settings Tab. Select the
appropriate target and ensure the Bind is selected to persistently map the
target and Enable Target for the target to be presented to the
operating system.
