I have a PowerVaut MD3200i Array with 2 controllers, two iSCSI VLAN's configured on each controller. I have two VMware Virtual Hosts connecting to 4 Virtual Disks on the MD3200i array with MPIO and no issues. I now have one virtual machine running Windows Server 2003 64bit and I'm trying to connect to two Virtual Disks on the MD3200i through iSCSI initiators. I have followed the directions provided and installed the MS iSCSI initiator Service without the MS MPIO Service. I then installed the Dell MSDM from the resources DVD that came with the array and installed the VSS and VSD utilities. The MPIO option is not available within the iSCSI configuration as mentioned in the documentation. I have tried to remove and re-install both the Dell MSDM and MS iSCSI initiator service. The issue I'm having now is the Virtual Disk is not accessed through the "Preferred Owner". I am unable to setup the load balance policy without the MPIO option.
