Configure the server for iSCSI boot
Enable iSCSI boot and set the boot order
Before iSCSI boot can be used, you must first enable iSCSI boot on the adapter and then modify the boot
order to select the iSCSI-enabled adapter as the boot device.
Enable iSCSI boot for HP network adapters
The iSCSI boot option ROM must be enabled before it can be used. Do not enable iSCSI boot on more
than two adapters because option ROM space is limited and it may cause the iSCSI boot to fail.
The following sections describe how to enable iSCSI boot on embedded, mezzanine, and standup
adapters.
Embedded adapters. The iSCSI boot option ROM is enabled on embedded adapters by using the RBSU
tool that is built into the system ROM.
a. During the initial boot phase, press <F9> to enter the RBSU.
b. At the RBSU menu, select System Options.
c. At the System Options menu, select the embedded adapter.
d. Select Network boot (for G6 and later servers) or iSCSI boot. HP recommends that PXE be
disabled on unused ports to conserve option ROM space.
e. Press <Esc> to exit the RBSU.
Mezzanine and Standup adapters. The iSCSI boot option ROM is enabled interactively at the console.
a. During the initial boot phase, press <Ctrl-S> when prompted to display the MBA Configuration
Menu.
b. Verify that iSCSI is selected for the Boot Protocol entry.
