Ethernet iSCSI Boot on a Microsoft* Windows* Client Initiator
Requirements
1. Make sure the iSCSI initiator system starts the iSCSI Boot firmware. The firmware should be con-
figured properly, be able to connect to iSCSI target, and detect the boot disk.
2. You will need Microsoft* iSCSI Software Initiator with integrated software boot support. This boot ver-
sion of the initiator is available here.
3. To enable crash dump support, follow the steps in Crash Dump Support.

Ethernet iSCSI Boot on a Linux* Client Initiator
1. Install the Open-iSCSI initiator utilities.
#yum -y install iscsi-inititator-utils
2. Refer to the README file found at https://github.com/mikechristie/open-iscsi.
3. Configure your iSCSI array to allow access.
a. Examine /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi for the Linux host initiator name.
b. Update your volume manager with this host initiator name.
4. Set iscsi to start on boot.
#chkconfig iscscd on
#chkconfig iscsi on
5. Start iSCSI service (192.168.x.x is the IP Address of your target).
#iscsiadm -n discovery -t s -p 192.168.x.x
Observe the target names returned by iscsi discovery.
6. Log onto the target (-m XXX -T is XXX -l XXX -).
iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.2123-01.com:yada:yada: -p 192.168.2.124
