Windows 2012 MPIO options
IHAC who is currently running physical Windows 2012 servers (HP servers, I can't recall the exact model). They were trying to mount 10GB iSCSI storage to these servers from a P4500 (Lefthand), and while they can mount the storage, HP cannot offer anything in terms of multipathing capabilities.
What options can we offer in terms of MPIO capabilities over a 10GB iSCSI connection to a VNX 5300 for failover AND load balancing?
Thanks

Hello,
The latest version of PowerPath 5.5 SP1 has limited support for 2012. Technologies like PP Encryption or Windows ODX are not supported.
Powerpath 5.7 will fully support 2012. This is due sometime in January.

Thanks guys...and the native Windows 2012, is that failover only or does that offer load-balancing as well (iSCSI)?

load-balancing too (simple round-robin)

When will this appear in the support matrix? Was CX4 tested as well?
