8 Deployment and Migration of Boot from SAN Configuration using Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise version
3.3.1
To configure the iSCSI boot parameters on the base system:
1. Configure Virtualization mode as NPAR under Device Level Configuration.
NPAR technology is implemented on modern Broadcom and QLogic CNAs which allows splitting a single physical
NIC in to multiple NICs. Hence this configuration is vendor specific, see the documentation provided by the
vendor for more details.
2. Set Boot Protocol as UEFI iSCSI HBA under NIC Configuration.
3. Enable iSCSI Offload mode under Partition 3 Configuration.
4. Set the iSCSI General Parameters for Static iSCSI Boot Configuration - Disable TCP/IP Parameters
via DHCP and iSCSI Parameters via DHCP.
5. The iSCSI Initiator parameters contains the Initiator IP Address, iSCSI Name etc. These values are
not assigned via DHCP, as the General parameters are set to static.
