Configuring Boot From SAN Using iSCSI-Based Dell Storage Arrays

4. Download the latest Intel PRO or Broadcom NetXtreme drivers and firmware from the Drivers and

Downloads section on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com.

Configuring the Storage Array

The following sections describe the process of configuring the storage arrays with the LUNs necessary

to host the iSCSI Boot. In this document, we limit our boot path configuration examples to two target

array types: Dell EqualLogic PS Series or Dell PowerVault MD3000i.

Configuring the Dell EqualLogic Storage System

Perform the following steps to make a target volume available:

1. Log in to Dell EqualLogic PS Series Group Manager.

2. Under Activities, select Create Volume. Name the volume and enter a description. Select a

storage pool and click Next.

3. Create either of the following volume sizes for the boot volume according to your requirement:

• Thin Provision

• Snapshot reserved (defaults to 100% of the volume)

NOTE: Microsoft recommends a minimum system partition size of 40 GB for Windows Server

2008 installations, depending on system RAM, possible power states, and other considerations.

For more information, see the Microsoft website at microsoft.com/windowsserver2008.

4. Select the iSCSI access mode for the server you are going to present the Array Disk to:

• Authenticate using the CHAP user name

• Limit access by IP Address

• Limit access to the iSCSI Initiator Name

NOTE: If you limit access based on the iSCSI initiator name, then the name entered here must

match the name on the host server that will be booting from this volume.

NOTE: Do not enable shared storage. Clustering on boot from iSCSI is not a supported

configuration.

The Summary screen is displayed.

5. Verify the settings on the Summary screen.

6. Click the Volume option. Then, right-click the volume you just created and view the iSCSI settings.

In the iSCSI Target box is the iSCSI Qualified Name (IQN), which is the Target Name that will be

used for the Initiator Target Device.
