dism /mount-wim /wimfile:.\src\sources\install.wim /index:X
/mountdir:.\mnt
X is a placeholder for the obtained index value.
13. Enter the following commands to add the following drivers to the currently mounted image:
dism /image:.\mnt /add-driver /driver:C:\Temp\evbd\evbd.inf
dism /image:.\mnt /add-driver /driver:C:\Temp\bxnd\bxnd.inf
dism /image:.\mnt /add-driver /driver:C:\Temp\bxfcoe\bxfcoe.inf
dism /image:.\mnt /add-driver /driver:C:\Temp\bxois\bxois.inf
14. Enter the following command to unmount the install.wim image:
dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:.\mnt /commit
15. Enter the following command to create an .iso file:
oscdimg -e -h -m -n -lslipstream -bootdata:2#p0,e,b"c:\Program Files\Windows
AIK\Tools\PETools\amd64\boot\etfsboot.com"#pEF,e,b"c:\Program
Files\Windows
AIK\Tools\PETools\amd64\boot\efisys.bin" c:\temp\x\src
c:\temp\Win20xxMOD.iso
Platform is a placeholder for the architecture of the operating system that is being installed, such as
amd64 or x86. Also, xx in the file names is a placeholder for the Windows Server OS version (2012,

16. (Optional) Using a DVD-burning application, burn the .iso file you created to a DVD.
17. (Optional) Use the DVD that you created to install the applicable Windows Server version.
Booting
After the system has been prepared for an iSCSI boot and the operating system is present on the iSCSI target,
boot the system. The system boots to Windows or Linux over the network and operate like a local disk drive.
To boot the system:
1. Reboot the server.
2. Press CTRL+S.
3. Do one of the following:
o To boot through an offload path, set the HBA Boot Mode to Enabled.
o To boot through a non-offload path, set the HBA Boot Mode to Disabled.
The HBA Boot Mode parameter cannot be changed when the adapter is in Multi-Function mode.
If CHAP authentication is needed, enable CHAP authentication after determining that booting is successful.
See "Enabling CHAP authentication (on page 10)" for more information.
Other iSCSI boot considerations
There are several other factors to consider when configuring a system for iSCSI boot.
Changing the speed and duplex settings in Windows environments
Changing the speed and duplex settings on the boot port using Windows Device Manager when performing
iSCSI boot through the offload path is not supported. Booting through the NDIS path is supported. The speed
