Setup
iSCSI boot setup
To set up an iSCSI boot:
• Configuring the iSCSI target (on page 6)
• Configuring iSCSI boot parameters (on page 6)
• Preparing the iSCSI boot image (on page 12)
• Booting (on page 19)
Configuring the iSCSI target
Configuring the iSCSI target varies by target vendors. For information on how to configure the iSCSI target,
see the documentation provided by the vendor.
To configure the iSCSI target:
1. Create an iSCSI target.
2. Create a virtual disk.
3. Map the virtual disk to the new iSCSI target.
4. Associate an iSCSI initiator with the iSCSI target.
5. While configuring the iSCSI target, record this information:
o Target name
o Target IQN
o Target IP address
o Target TCP port number
o Target LUN
o Initiator IQN
o CHAP ID and secret
Configuring iSCSI boot parameters
Configure the iSCSI boot software for either static or dynamic configuration. For the configuration options
and IPv4 and IPv6 parameters that are available in the General Parameters screen, see "Configuration
options (on page 7)." The availability of IPv6 iSCSI boot is platform and device dependent.
