Troubleshooting
Boot fails when switching to Broadcom iSCSI offload
Possible cause: When switching iSCSI boot from the Microsoft standard path to Broadcom iSCSI offload, the
boot fails to complete.
Action: Install or upgrade the Broadcom Virtual Bus Device driver to 5.0.x and the OIS driver prior to
switching the iSCSI boot path.
Broadcom iSCSI Crash Dump utility does not capture
a memory dump
Possible cause: The link speed for iSCSI boot is configured for 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, which are not
supported.
Action: Be sure that the link speed for iSCSI boot is configured for 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps, which are supported
by the iSCSI Crash Dump utility.
HBA offload miniport BXOIS does not load
Possible cause: Toggling between iSCSI HBA offload mode and iSCSI software initiator boot causes the HBA
offload miniport BXOIS not to load.
Action: Manually edit
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\bxois\StartOverride]
from 3 to 0. Modify the registry key before toggling back from NDIS to HBA path in CCM.
Inbox driver does not update
Possible cause: The inbox driver does not update if a non-inbox hardware ID present.
Action: Create a custom slipstream DVD image with supported drivers present on the install media.
Installing Windows on an iSCSI target fails
Possible cause: Installing Windows onto an iSCSI target through iSCSI boot fails when connecting to a 1
Gbps switch port.
Action: This is a limitation relating to adapters that use SFP+ as the physical connection. SFP+ defaults to 10
Gbps operation and does not support auto-negotiation.
