New to SAN booting - need help debugging - m_theredhead - 2012-09-02 19:53
Hello,
I am trying to set up my first iscsi bootable machine. I am attempting with both Fedora 16 and 17.
I set up the iscsi target following these instructions here:
http://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=Fedora_17&p=iscsi
The installation of Fedora seems to go well, it can see the iscsi disk, installs to it without issue, etc.
Upon reboot, the machine fails to boot. I think I am running into an issue with iPXE, but I am not 100% sure.
Here is the output from ipxe
Here is the output of tgtadm
tgtadm --mode target --op show

Are you sure grub was installed correctly to the boot sector of the iscsi volume? Some installers might put it on a local drive if the machine you're installing to has local storage attached.
