Log Off a Volume With Multipath I/O on Variants of Windows
Operating Systems
To log off a volume with multiple connections when using other Windows variants, you must select and log out of each
connection session as follows:
1. Click the Targets tab, select the target, then click Details. The Target Properties dialog box opens.
2. Click the Sessions tab.
3. Select all sessions and click LogOff.
If you see a message warning you that a device is in use, wait a few seconds, click the Refresh button, and then repeat step
3.
View MPIO Sessions
The status of the MPIO DSM is logged for display in the MPIO tab of the iSCSI Initiator Properties page. The Properties
page opens when you double-click the Initiator icon, or when you launch the Initiator interface from the control panel.
The status tab provides:
● Details of the NIC or HBA adapters present in the system, identifying which adapters support MPIO
● Status of MPIO sessions and paths.
Data is stored in a cumulative log file at: installation_path\EqualLogic\Logs\ehcm.log. When the current log file is
full, the logger renames it to ehcm0.log and deletes the previous log. Only one previous log file is retained.
To adjust the length of history stored, you can change the size of the log file by modifying the Windows registry entry under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Equallogic\EHCM.
The following limits (in MB) apply to the XMLLogsize registry key:
● Default—10
● Minimum—1
● Maximum—50
The ehcm.log file provides data for a custom MPIO properties tab in the iSCSI initiator properties pages (shown in the
following figure). When you launch the initiator properties, it might take up to a minute to load data from the log.
