17 Deployment and Migration of Boot from SAN Configuration using Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise version
3.3.1
3.6 Boot to SAN via iSCSI
After a successful deployment of the base system template, the ‘initiator’ parameters from the identity pool are
associated to the target server ports making them ready for an iSCSI boot from the associated ISO image. The
progress of the Deployment job is displayed on the Task Execution page as shown below.
The iSCSI Initiator parameters such as the IP address and iSCSI Name, that had 0.0.0.0 values prior to
deployment, are successfully associated with the attribute values from identity pool assignments after the base
template deployment to be efficiently connected to the storage array.
