## Multipath support for iSCSI on VMware ESXi 

As explained in 5.3.4, “VMw are ESXi: Preparing for Fibre Channel attachment” on page 233, the ESXi server uses its own multipathing software. 

For iSCSI, extra configuration is required in the VMkernel port properties to enable path failover. Each VMkernel port must map to one physical adapter port, which is not the default setting. Complete the following steps: 

1. Browse to the Configuration  tab and select Networking . Click Properties  next to the vSwitch that you configured for iSCSI to open the window that is shown in Figure 5-33.
