38 BP1043 | Configuring Windows Server 2008 R2 for iSCSI SAN Boot with EqualLogic Storage
10 Recovery from degraded network interface
When the host system is booted with a single active link to the boot volume (degraded boot),
reestablishing the failed connection does not create redundant connections to the boot volume. To regain
the redundant connection you must either reboot the host system or configure the IP address manually in
the OS.
To reestablish the network interface, use the following steps:
1. Open Control Panel from the Start menu.
1. Click on Network and Internet->Network and Sharing Center.
2. Choose the network adapter used for the iSCSI network and double click it.
3. Select Properties on the Network adapter Properties window.
4. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click Properties.
5. In the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties select the radio button for Use the
following IP address.
6. Enter the IP address and Subnet mask details as needed. (These details should be the same as
entered in Section 7 for the particular network adapter.)
7. Click OK and close the Network Adapter Properties window.
8. Do the same for all the other network adapters used for iSCSI boot.
