Booting

After the system has been prepared for an iSCSI boot and the operating system is present on the iSCSI target,
boot the system. The system boots to Windows or Linux over the network and operate like a local disk drive.
To boot the system:

1.

Reboot the server.

2.

Press CTRL+S.

3.

Do one of the following:

o

To boot through an offload path, set the HBA Boot Mode to Enabled.

o

To boot through a non-offload path, set the HBA Boot Mode to Disabled.

The HBA Boot Mode parameter cannot be changed when the adapter is in Multi-Function mode.

If CHAP authentication is needed, enable CHAP authentication after determining that booting is successful.

See "Enabling CHAP authentication (on page
