UEFI and iSCSI boot - Ying - 2016-03-30 05:05
Hi iPXE team, firstly I want to thank you for all your contribution to the community.
I got the latest code and made a UEFI image ipxe.efi, and I chain boot into this image and in the shell I was trying to sanhook a iSCSI disk, but I got a error says: "Could not open SAN device: Error 0x3f201483". The iSCSI target was tested OK.
In the page http://ipxe.org/efi/vision, it says "...An iPXE UEFI driver now provides a user experience which is almost as full-featured as the user experience provided by an iPXE BIOS driver." but look into the code and found "san_hook" is only implemented in "pc_bios". So my question is, if I want to sanboot a iSCSI disk in UEFI, is this feature already included in current iPXE? or what should I do to possibly make it happen?

As of right now there is no sanboot support in efi mode mcb30 describes it current status in this thread
This was also quite recently discussed on IRC, and one of the reasons have not been done yet is because of no economical funding to complete the feature as of yet. (BIOS mode works with INT13, while in EFI land this needs to be reimplemented by EFI calls)

efi sanboot seems to have been implemented a few days ago: https://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git/commitdiff/fd95c780b6ad39ab55344c0e4b9c2125c2c2f5ad different forum post about this: http://forum.ipxe.org/showthread.php?tid=6896
