problem with iscsi via nas
good evening

i have a nas synology ds 212+
i have made a dhcp server via the synology.
i made an iscsi target named iqn.2000-01.com.synology:test.boot.windows7

i have created on las the folder
ftfproot... i have compiled undionly.kpxe file correctly.

my server is at adress 10.0.0.7

when i start via virtual box a machine that boot via lan and i arrive at the menu... indicating the possibility to boot windows...

but nothing happen.. the windows7 start doesnt' start...

THIS IS MY BOOTSTRAP.IPXE

#!ipxe

set boot-url tftp://10.0.0.7
set bootstrap-url ${boot-url}/bootstrap
set menu-url ${boot-url}/menu.ipxe

# Boot <boot-url>/bootstrap/hostname-<hostname>.ipxe
# if hostname DHCP variable is set and script is present
isset ${hostname} && chain --replace --autofree ${bootstrap-url}/hostname-${hostname}.ipxe && exit ||

# Boot <boot-url>/bootstrap/uuid-<UUID>.ipxe
# if uuid SMBIOS variable is set and script is present
isset ${uuid} && chain --replace --autofree ${bootstrap-url}/uuid-${uuid}.ipxe && exit ||

# Boot <boot-url>/bootstrap/mac-01-02-03-04-05-06.ipxe if script is present
chain --replace --autofree ${bootstrap-url}/mac-${mac:hexhyp}.ipxe && exit ||

# Boot <boot-url>/bootstrap/bus-01-80-86-10-0e.ipxe if PCI Intel adapter
# is present and script is present
chain --replace --autofree ${bootstrap-url}/bus-${busid:hexhyp}.ipxe && exit ||

# Boot <boot-url>/menu.ipxe script if all other options have been exhausted
chain --replace --autofree ${menu-url}


AND THIS THE MENU.IPXE

#!ipxe

# boot-url is set in bootstrap.ipxe

# Setup some basic convenience variables
set menu-timeout 5000
set submenu-timeout ${menu-timeout}
set base-iqn iqn.2000-01.com.synology
set base-iscsi iscsi:10.0.0.7::::${base-iqn}

# Set initiator-iqn to either hostname or mac
isset ${hostname} && set initiator-iqn ${base-iqn}:${hostname} || set initiator-iqn ${base-iqn}:${mac}

# Ensure we have menu-default set to something
isset ${menu-default} || set menu-default exit

RE: problem with iscsi via nas
You didn't clearly specify which menu option you were using. You just said windows didn't boot. Based on the fact that you're using my menu I'm going to assume you're using the "Boot Windows7 from iSCSI" on the initial menu. That option won't work without actually _installing_ Windows 7 to the iSCSI volume.

You should be able to find examples of how to install Windows 7 in the "Installer" menu, which you seem to also have kept in there. Just remember that once you boot up the WinPE in the menu, you also need to run the Windows installer from a SMB file share somewhere.

If the iSCSI volume doesn't show up during disk partitioning, then you most likely have the same problem a bunch of other people have had before you, namely the problem with the default gateway in the iBFT description. See the stickied post on the front page for a solution.

RE: problem with iscsi via nas
thank for your quickly reply
..

i think i miss something basic logical instruction . i haven't found a clearly faq for me...
if i right understand when i boot from ipxe the pc (that have assigned an ip from the dhcp server - in this case the synology) goes to the directory tftproot and start to use undionly.kpxe....

then, if i correctly understand, the pc read bootstrap.ipxe and then menu.ipxe

arrived at this point I SUPPOSE that if I SEE THE MENU everything is ok and the iscsi is assigned to the pc.

is it right?

i have also created in 10.0.0.7 a folder named windows-7 and inside a placed ultimate-x64.iso.... but nothing
after this i read the menu that you wrote (fantastic):.. and if i decide to start windows 7 i need a new fresh install and the dvd /iso to start .
if i suppose to use a virtual machine i insert the iso in the virtual drive .. and nothing happen...
do i have to modify the menu or something else?
if i have to read something special let me know

excuse me but i really have this problem.

thanks
also reading this:

:windows7-install
echo Starting Windows 7 x64 installer for ${initiator-iqn}
# Hook iSCSI drive
set root-path ${base-iscsi}:${hostname}.boot.windows7
sanhook ${root-path} || goto failed
# Start Windows 7 installer DVD
sanboot --no-describe --drive 0x81 ${boot-url}/windows-7/ultimate-x64.iso || goto failed
# Better solution, according to Oliver Rath on the mailing-list
# Requires massive amounts of RAM, though
#initrd ${boot-url}/windows-7/ultimate-x64.iso
#chain ${boot-url}/memdisk iso raw || goto failed
goto start

i have a doubt.. my synology ip is 10.0.0.7
do I specify it correctly in the boot.ipxe menu?

No. Not even close. Your iSCSI target is not magically set up correctly with an installed copy of Windows just because you got the iPXE menu working. I'm afraid it's a lot more complicated than that.

You might want to start with something simpler.

Start with some of the simple tasks with good documentation. For example, you could try following the instructions at http://ipxe.org/howto/winpe to get a working setup for installing Windows over the network.

Hi i' have successfully setup ipxe with synology, in my setup i use one virtual machine for trying, my VM is setting to boot first via network and after via CD-ROM in my case i start machine, whait ipxe menu, start windows7 install over iscsi, in my case i can not load iso via http, so, setup fail, after the VM boot via cd-rom and i able to install win7 on iscsi target.
you cant use iso with tftp but you gave to use http for downloading iso via ipxe.

Correct; TFTP does not support SAN booting.

For installing Windows over the network, you can use http://ipxe.org/wimboot, which will be faster than attempting to SAN-boot an ISO image.

Thank you Michael, i have used a little workaround Big Grin as you can read, i can connect ISO image to my VM and setting up boot sequence like this
Network
CD-ROM
Hdd
I this way i can avoid using wimboot or http downloading iso.

Yes, that works well for VMs. If you need to install physical machines, then you'll need to use an alternative method such as wimboot.
