7. On the iSCSI First Target Parameters window (Figure 10-5):
a. Enable Connect to connect to the iSCSI target.
b. Type values for the following using the values used when configuring
the iSCSI target:
 IP Address
 TCP Port
 Boot LUN
 iSCSI Name
 CHAP ID
 CHAP Secret
8. Press ESC to return to the Main menu.
9. (Optional) Configure a secondary iSCSI target by repeating these steps in
the iSCSI Second Target Parameter window.
10. Press ESC and select Exit and Save Configuration.
11. Press the F4 key to save your MBA configuration.
Dynamic iSCSI Boot Configuration
In a dynamic configuration, you only need to 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 114). For IPv4, with the exception of the initiator iSCSI name, any settings
on the Initiator Parameters, 1st Target Parameters, or 2nd Target Parameters
windows 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 windows are ignored and do not need to
be cleared. For information on configuration options, see Table 10-1 on page 107.
NOTE
When using a DHCP server, the DNS server entries are overwritten by the
values provided by the DHCP server. This overwrite 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. Because the
DHCP daemon runs in the Windows environment as a user process, all
TCP/IP parameters must be statically configured before the stack comes up
in the iSCSI Boot environment.
