Windows Server 2012, 2012 R2, and 2016 iSCSI Boot Setup
Windows Server 2012/2012 R2 and 2016 support booting as well as installing in
either the offload or non-offload paths. QLogic requires the use of a “slipstream”
DVD with the latest QLogic drivers injected (see “Injecting (Slipstreaming) QLogic
Drivers into Windows Image Files” on page 104). Also refer to the Microsoft
knowledge base topic KB974072 at support.microsoft.com
.
NOTE
The Microsoft procedure injects only the EVBD and NDIS drivers. QLogic
recommends that all drivers (EVBD, VBD, BXND, OIS, FCoE, and NDIS) be
injected.
