Using configuration settings in iSCSI boot

[robinsmidsrod]

Have you seen how I combine the base-iscsi variable at the start of menu.ipxe in https://gist.github.com/2234639 ?

You can easily use the "read" command to ask for that value instead of hard-coding it in the script. Something like this might be what you need (untested):

Code:

#!ipxe
echo Type in the IPv4 address for you iSCSI server
read iscsi-server

echo Type in the name part of your iSCSI target IQN
read iscsi-target

set iscsi-target-iqn iqn.2011-02.lan.smidsrod:${iscsi-target}
set iscsi-url iscsi:${iscsi-server}::::${iscsi-target-iqn}
sanboot ${iscsi-url}
