Configuring Boot From SAN Using iSCSI-Based Dell Storage Arrays
9. Determine if the target LUN is available in the list of drives. If the target LUN is available, proceed
to step 15.
10. Insert the removable media containing the drivers for the NIC (Intel PRO Network device or
Broadcom NetXtreme adapter).
11. Click Load Driver. The Load Driver dialog box appears.
12. Click Browse. The Browse for Folder dialog box appears.
13. Navigate to the location containing the driver for the Network device and click OK.
NOTE: For example, you will need to install both the VBD and the NDIS driver for the Broadcom
NetXtreme adapter. If you will be enabling HBA offload mode, then you will need to install the
VBD and the Offload iSCSI (OIS) driver.
14. Click Next to load the driver. The available drives list containing the targeted LUN appears.
NOTE: If the list of available drives containing the targeted LUN does not appear, click
Refresh. You may have to wait for up to a minute or click Refresh a few times before seeing
the list of drives.
NOTE: If you are using a PowerVault MD3000i storage array, a LUN of size 20 MB and with LUN
ID of 31 appears in the list of available iSCSI LUNs. Do not select this LUN. This LUN appears
because the MD3000i MPIO driver is not loaded during installation. When the installation is
complete, installing MDSM will filter out this LUN from Disk Manager.
15. Select the drive and click Next to start the Windows installation.
The Windows installer copies and expands files and installs features and updates.
When the installation is complete, the server restarts.
16. If you are using a Broadcom NetXtreme adapter, then we recommend you verify that the Boot to
iSCSI Target setting has switched from One Time Disabled to Enabled. After the server restarts:
a. Press <Ctrl-K> to access the iSCSI Configuration Utility.
b. Select the General Parameters option and make sure that Boot to iSCSI Target is enabled.
c. Press <ESC> to exit the Broadcom menus and save the configuration when prompted.
The system then boots from the iSCSI LUN and completes the Windows setup.
17. Restart the system and log in to the operating system.
18. Disable the page file. Since the PowerEdge system will not have a local hard drive configured on
the host, you will need to disable the page file:
a. Right-click My Computer and select Properties.
b. In the System Properties screen, click the Advanced tab.
c. In the Performance section, click Settings.
d. In the Performance Options screen, click the Advanced tab.
