iScsi Target redundancy

Question

With Windows Server 2019, I have a cluster using EMC shared storage with multiple iScsi Initiators and one iScsi Target.  Using MPIO, I can add redundancy by creating multiple paths to storage.  However, my single iScsi Target is a single point of failure - if it goes down, I lose my storage.  I'm not seeing a way to add a secondary failover iScsi Target server to the mix with a pure Windows Server solution.  Is it possible with PowerPath?  If so, what does the setup look like?

Hi NBSigon, I don't see anything in the guide that allows for this. https://dell.to/3hW197z

Thanks for the reply Josh. So, is there any existing solution from Dell/EMC where there is not a single point of failure?

The SC5000 series has replication to other array features. https://dell.to/3mIHVGl
