Configuring Boot From SAN Using iSCSI-Based Dell Storage Arrays
Installing Windows Server 2008 or 2008 R2
In this section, we provide steps to complete a basic installation of Windows Server 2008 onto a
bootable iSCSI SAN-based target LUN.
Extract NIC Drivers for Later Use If Necessary
You will first need to extract the Broadcom NetXtreme Virtual Bus Driver (VBD) and the Network Driver
Interface Specification (NDIS) drivers or the Intel PRO plug and play drivers, in case you need them
later in this process.
1. Use the setup.exe /a command for Broadcom or the setup.exe -a command for Intel on a
workstation to extract the drivers from the setup executable file, specifying a target directory for
the extracted files.
NOTE: Make note of the directory structure to which the files are extracted. For example, the
Broadcom drivers for Windows Server 2008 x64 are extracted to the following locations:
For VBD: /Program Files 64/Broadcom/BDrv5706/VBD
For NDIS: /Program Files 64/Broadcom/BDrv5706/W2k8
2. Copy the driver files to removable media suitable for use during operating system installation,
preferably a USB flash drive.
Install the Operating System Directly Onto the iSCSI LUN
Perform the following steps to install the operating system on iSCSI LUN:
1. Turn on or restart the server.
2. Insert the Windows Server 2008 or 2008 R2 DVD in the DVD drive.
