iSCSI Protocol: Broadcom NetXtreme II Network Adapter User Guide
Problem: A system blue screen occurs when installing the Broadcom drivers through Windows Plug-and-Play (PnP).
Solution: Install the drivers through the Setup installer.
Problem: For static IP configuration when switching from Layer 2 iSCSI boot to Broadcom iSCSI HBA, then you will receive
an IP address conflict.
Solution: Change the IP address of the network property in the OS.
Problem: After configuring the iSCSI boot LUN to 255, a system blue screen appears when performing iSCSI boot.
Solution: Although Broadcom's iSCSI solution supports a LUN range from 0 to 255, the Microsoft iSCSI software initiator
does not support a LUN of 255. Configure a LUN value from 0 to 254.
Problem: The Xen hypervisor will not start when booting from an iSCSI image created with the RHEL 5.4 Xen kernel.
Solution: This is a known third-party issue. To work around this issue, disable the Xen hypervisor's EDD feature by editing
the grub.conf file in the boot/grub folder to add the edd=off switch to the end of the kernel line. For example,
kernel /xen.gz edd=off.
Problem: Unable to connect to an EqualLogic target using Windows Server 2008 and higher.
Solution: Add an exception to your firewall to allow ICMP echo requests.
Problem: The iSCSI target is not present as a disk when installing Windows Server 2008 R2 with a NetXtreme II 1G or 10G
adapter.
Solution: See the resolution below.
First, install the Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) from Microsoft on the test machine where you are going to modify
the OS media. Then delete the old network drivers in the boot.wim of the OS media by following the procedure below.
1. Create a temporary folder, such as D:\temp.
2. Create the following two subfolders in the temporary folder:
Win2008R2Copy
Win2008R2Mod
3. Copy all the contents from the DVD installation media into the Win2008R2Copy folder.
4. Open the Windows AIK command prompt in elevated mode from All program, and then run the following command:
attrib –r D:\Temp\Win2008R2Copy\sources\boot.wim
5. Run the following command to mount the boot.wim image:
dism /Mount-WIM /WimFile:D:\Temp\Win2008R2Copy\sources\boot.wim /index:1
/MountDir:D:\Temp\Win2008R2Mod
6. The Boot.wim image was mounted in the Win2008R2Mod folder. Find all the instances of the files listed below in the
subfolders of the Win2008R2Mod folder, and then delete them.
List of files to be deleted.
netevbda.inf
netevbda.pnf
evbda.sys
netbxnda.inf
netbxnda.pnf
bxnd60a.sys
bxvbda.sys
netbvbda.inf
netbvbda.pnf
To easily find all the instances of the files to be deleted, run the following command:
dir /s D:\Temp\Win2008R2Mod\filename
7. Run the following command to unmount the Boot.wim image:
dism /unmount-wim /Mountdir:D:\Temp\Win2008R2Mod /commit
8. Repeat steps 5 to 7 by keeping the index = 2 for the command in step 5.
9. Run the following command to create an .iso file:
oscdimg -e -h -m -n -lWS08R2_x64 -bootdata:2#p0,e,b"c:\Program Files\Windows
AIK\Tools\PETools\amd64\boot\etfsboot.com"#pEF,e,b"c:\Program Files\Windows
AIK\Tools\PETools\amd64\boot\efisys.bin" D:\Temp\Win2008R2Copy D:\Temp\Win2008R2Mod.iso
