Installing Windows 7 to iSCSI Target
After lots of messing around I finally got my ESXi hosts all diskless booting with iPXE. Works perfectly
I am now trying to dual boot two of my ESXi hosts using a PHP script, which seems to work. But I can't quite get Windows 7 ultimate x64 to run the installer. Using PXE to chainload iPXE, I can successfully get a DHCP request sent etc and chainload a mac address specific URL. In the hosts mac file I have the following Code: #!ipxe In boot.ipxe it's copied from the wimboot page http://ipxe.org/wimboot Code: #!ipxe If I boot without any san commands, the windows 7 installer loads no problem, but obviously finds no disks to install to. As soon as I introduce the sanhook or sanboot command into my iPXE script the installer will load the black setup start screen "Windows is loading setup files" After this I get a grey (or white) blank screen. Once again I assume I am missing something blatantly obvious. Anyone got any ideas? |
