Hi I am new to windows server 2016. I am trying to setup dual port to 1 x ST4000nm0074 4tb hdd via a megaraid 9361-8i card. This megaraid card is internal to my z820 and I am using dual port cables. I have enabled MPIO in features, and checked the boxes iSCSI + SAS in MPIO properties...

Could u provide a link to a special cable or thread regarding this I am trying to understand the method of how I would achieve this ? Thanks

I think that’s the wrong special cable your taking about, it’s 11pm here in Perth I am off with the fairies. Thanks for all the info very much appreciated. Tomorrow I will google my brains out trying to understand how this works or what cable I need which will help me understand it.
