> # Transparent Target Failover

> The following high availability features are available for iSCSI configurations:

> - iSCSI high availability with host running multi-path software—In this topology, you have recovery from failure of any of the components. The host multi-path software takes care of load balancing or failover across the different paths to access the storage.
> - iSCSI high availability with host not having multi-path software—Without multi-path software, the host does not have knowledge of the multiple paths to the same storage.
