Windows Server 2012 R2 iSCSI boot
Attempting to boot Windows from iSCSI target. I was able to successfully do it on an older laptop to validate proof of concept, but on this board and this board, I've been unsuccessful. Both Windows 7 Ultimate and Windows Server 2012 R2 install fine onto the iSCSI target, but reboot after the first startup (after sanboot).
Here's what I'm doing: I have windows installation media on USB, boot order set PXE then to USB. PXE Boot iPXE (chain) with iSCSI support !#ipxe dhcp sanhook iscsi:<ip>:::<lun>:<iqn> sanboot --no-describe --drive 0x81 It then skips to the next medium in the boot order (USB), and runs the windows installer. I then install windows onto the iSCSI target. On the svme1908, I have to load network drivers in Windows 7 before the iSCSI target presents itself as an install target, but on the C163, I don't. Window Server 2012 R2, no drivers are required, the target shows up fine. Installation goes fine. First reboot, I escape into the iPXE prompt and do: dhcp sanboot iscsi:<ip>:::<lun>:<iqn> And it boots into the Windows logo, and eventually BSODs (both Win7 and Server 2012 R2) I'm thinking I have the same woes as this thread - could it be because these boards each have 4 network ports, and the iBFT isn't being properly populated? The test laptop that worked had only one NIC. Any ideas what I should try next? Hopefully something stupid and obvious. Patrick |
