Help with WIndows 2012 Multipathing
is there a way for me to force/specify what IP my iSCSI initiators get connected to?
Instead of allowing the software to 'pick the best" one after i point windows iscsi initiator to the SAN group ip?
I ask because it seems to be taking a much longer path through slower trunks to reach it when there is a faster 'local" link already available to it that it could use
Thanks

Are you using the PS Series MPIO DSM - that is part of HIT/Microsoft? It is highly recommended to use the PS Series MPIO DSM - as you will get improved performance in your iSCSI sessions.
...and to Don's point - is the MPIO DSM configured to only include the ISCSN SAN interfaces -- and exclude the non-iSCSI interfaces? This can be configured easily via ASM/ME.
