Adapter Testing Not Supported on Systems Carrying iSCSI Traffic

Content Type: Troubleshooting | Article ID: 000007659 | Last Reviewed: 03/25/2025

Adapter Teaming using Intel® Advanced Network Services (Intel® ANS) isn't supported for those ports transferring iSCSI traffic. This is due to limitations of the third-party iSCSI target/initiator software.

For load balancing and failover support in Windows* operating systems, you can use Microsoft's MPIO (MultiPath I/O). Check the Microsoft Initiator User Guide on how to set up MPIO.

If you're planning to use Microsoft MPIO on an Intel® Storage System, please ensure that your firmware supports multipath I/O.
