sanboot reboots the pc if i use something else than 0x80 - shivansps - 2017-11-11 20:10 Hi, im attemping to make the iPXE boot from iSCSI target and if fails, to boot from a iSCSI attached virtual DVD. This is petty much it Code: #!ipxe The idea is to first attempt to boot from the iscsi hdd, if fails (because is a new disk and its empty), to boot from the virtual iscsi dvd to install the O.S. But as soon as the sanboot --drive 0x81 is executed the pc reboots, no matter if is a real pc or virtualbox. The only way that it boots the dvd image is using 0x80 for it, and hook the iscsi hdd to 0x81 Code: #!ipxe But then the windows installer does not work, it says it cant install on that drive because the hardware may not be able to boot from it. RE: sanboot reboots the pc if i use something else than 0x80 - NiKiZe - 2017-11-12 11:29 The recommended way to boot windows installers is to use wimboot instead of sanbooting. You shouldn't need to give drive at all it should be automatic. also keep-san seems redundant http://ipxe.org/cmd/sanboot RE: sanboot reboots the pc if i use something else than 0x80 - shivansps - 2017-11-13 03:57 Well i ended using wimboot + sanhook to the iscsi virtual dvd since i need the windows sources files in order for install to work. This way i dont need a custom winpe. Thanks. |
