Linux iSCSI Boot Setup
Linux iSCSI boot is supported on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 and later and
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (SLES 11) SP1 and later in both the offload and
non-offload paths.
To set up Linux iSCSI boot:
1. For driver update, obtain the latest QLogic Linux driver CD.
2. Configure the iSCSI Boot Parameters for DVD direct install to target by
disabling the boot-from-target option on the network adapter.
3. Configure to install through the non-offload path by setting HBA Boot Mode
to Disabled in the NVRAM Configuration. (Note: This parameter cannot be
changed when the adapter is in Multi-Function mode.).
4. Change the boot order as follows:
a. Boot from the network adapter.
b. Boot from the CD or DVD driver.
5. Reboot the system.
The system will connect to iSCSI target, and then will boot from the CD or
DVD drive.
