The block size on the target must be 512 bytes
l
The following operating systems are supported:
l
VMware* ESX 5.0, or later
l
Red Hat* Enterprise Linux* 6.3, or later
l
SUSE* Enterprise Linux 11SP2, or later
l
Microsoft* Windows Server* 2012, or later
l
You may be able to access data only within the first 2 TB.
l
NOTE: The Crash Dump driver does not support target LUNs larger than 2TB.
DHCP Server Configuration
If you are using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), the DHCP server needs to be configured to
provide the iSCSI Boot configurations to the iSCSI initiator. You must set up the DHCP server to specify
Root Path option 17 and Host Name option 12 to respond iSCSI target information back to the iSCSI initiator.
DHCP option 3, Router List may be necessary, depending on the network configuration.
DHCP Root Path Option 17:
The iSCSI root path option configuration string uses the following format:
iscsi:<server name or IP address>:<-
protocol>:<port>:<LUN>:<targetname>
Server name: DHCP server name or valid IPv4 address literal.
l
Example: 192.168.0.20.
Protocol: Transportation protocol used by ISCSI. Default is tcp (6).
l
No other protocols are currently supported.
Port: Port number of the iSCSI. A default value of 3260 will be used if this
l
field is left blank.
LUN: LUN ID configured on iSCSI target system. Default is zero.
l
Target name: iSCSI target name to uniquely identify an iSCSI target in
l
IQN format.
Example: iqn.1986-03.com.intel:target1
DHCP Host Name Option 12:
Configure option 12 with the hostname of the iSCSI initiator.
DHCP Option 3, Router List:
Configure option 3 with the gateway or Router IP address, if the iSCSI initiator and
iSCSI target are on different subnets.
Creating a Bootable Image for an iSCSI Target
There are two ways to create a bootable image on an iSCSI target:
Install directly to a hard drive in an iSCSI storage array (Remote Install).
l
Install to a local disk drive and then transfer this disk drive or OS image to an iSCSI Target (Local
l
Install).
