5–Boot Configuration
iSCSI Configuration Using Fast!UTIL
204 CU0354602-00 M
To enable the QLogic iSCSI adapter to boot from a SAN:
1. During server POST, press CTRL+Q to enter the QLogic iSCSI Fast!UTIL BIOS.
2. Select the I/O port to configure.
By default, the Adapter Boot mode is set to Disable.
3. From the Fast!UTIL Options menu, select Configuration Settings and then
select iSCSI Boot Settings.
4. Before you can set SendTargets, set the Adapter Boot mode to Manual.
5. Select Primary Boot Device Settings.
6. Enter the discovery Target IP and Target Port.
7. You can leave the Boot LUN and iSCSI Name fields blank only if one iSCSI
target and one LUN are at the specified address from which to boot.
Otherwise, you must specify these fields to ensure that you do not boot from
a volume for some other system. After the target storage system is reached,
these fields are populated after a rescan.
8. Save your changes.
9. From the iSCSI Boot Settings menu, select the primary boot device. An
auto rescan of the host bus adapter finds new target LUNs.
10. Select the iSCSI target.
11. Change the value of Boot LUN to the LUN ID you want.
12. Save your changes and restart the system.
For additional details and the latest information on QLogic adapter configuration
settings, see the QLogic adapter readme file on the QLogic Web site.
For information on configuring iSCSI boot parameters, see “Adapter Boot Mode”
on page 202 and “Primary and Alternate Boot Device Settings” on page 203.
NOTE
If more than one LUN exists within the target, you can choose a
specific LUN ID by pressing ENTER after you locate the iSCSI device.
Return to the Primary Boot Device Setting menu. After the rescan,
the Boot LUN and iSCSI Name fields are populated.
