Configuring Metric for Load Balancing
You can assign a load metric to each initiator for weighted load balancing. The load calculated is based on the number of initiators on a given iSCSI interface. This feature accommodates initiators with different bandwidth requirements. For example, you could assign a higher load metric to a database server than to a web server. Weighted load balancing also accommodates initiators with different link speeds.
Also, you can configure initiator targets using the device alias or the pWWN. If you configure an IQN for an initiator target, then that name is used to identify the initiator target. Otherwise, a unique IQN is generated for the initiator target.
