Dynamic iSCSI Boot Configuration
In a dynamic configuration, specify that the system's IP address and target/initiator information are provided by
a DHCP server (see IPv4 and IPv6 configurations in “Configuring the DHCP Server to Support iSCSI Boot” on
page 60. For IPv4, with the exception of the initiator iSCSI name, any settings on the Initiator Parameters, 1st
Target Parameters, or 2nd Target Parameters screens are ignored and do not need to be cleared. For IPv6, with
the exception of the CHAP ID and Secret, any settings on the Initiator Parameters, 1st Target Parameters, or
2nd Target Parameters screens are ignored and do not need to be cleared. For information on configuration
options, see Table 35 on page 55.
Note: Enter the IP address. There is no error-checking performed against the IP address to check for
duplicates or incorrect segment/network assignment.
Note: For the initial setup, configuring a second target is not supported.
Note: When using a DHCP server, the DNS server entries are overwritten by the values provided by
the DHCP server. This occurs even if the locally provided values are valid and the DHCP server
provides no DNS server information. When the DHCP server provides no DNS server information,
both the primary and secondary DNS server values are set to 0.0.0.0. When the Windows OS takes
over, the Microsoft iSCSI initiator retrieves the iSCSI Initiator parameters and configures the
appropriate registries statically. It will overwrite whatever is configured. Since the DHCP daemon runs
in the Windows environment as a user process, all TCP/IP parameters have to be statically configured
before the stack comes up in the iSCSI Boot environment.
