How to enable iSCSI multipathing with iSCSI software initiator?

$

I'm trying to enable multipathing to a Dell MD3000i iSCSI target using the software initiator.

The target has 2 controllers with 2 NIC's each.

I have added every ip address on each target NIC to the "Dynamic Discovery/Send Targets" pane.

The storage view only show one path.

I have rescanned and rebooted the host severak times without any luck.

 

This is my config:

 

 

ESX host:

 

 

1 vSwitch with VM traffic bound to vmnic0 & vmnic1

 

 

1vSwitch with Console and VMkernel bound to vmnic2 and vmnic3

Console IP: 192.168.130.11

VMkernel IP: 192.168.130.21

 

 

 

DELL MD3000i iSCSI SAN:

 

 

Controller0

NIC0: 192.168.130.101

NIC1: 192.168.130.201

 

Controller1

NIC0: 192.168.130.102

NIC1: 192.168.130.202

 

 

Is multipathing supported using the Software initiator?

If it's supported, what am I doing wrong?

 

 

(I am aware of that the MD3000i is not official suppprted by VMware.)

 

 

Regards
