Set up Linux iSCSI boot using remote DVD installation
Linux iSCSI boot remote DVD installation can be set up with an offload path or a non-offload path. The remote
DVD installation is supported by Red Hat 6.2 or later and SLES 11 SP2 or later. Installing through a
non-offload path is also supported by SLES 11 SP2 or later. After completing the remote DVD installation, the
system can be set up to boot from either path.
Remote Linux boot setup with an offload path
To set up a Linux iSCSI boot using remote DVD installation and an offload path:
1. For driver updates, obtain the latest Broadcom Linux driver CD.
2. Configure iSCSI boot parameters for a DVD direct installation to target.
3. To install through a non-offload or offload path, set the HBA Boot Mode in the NVRAM Configuration
to one of the following:
o Select Disabled for a non-offload path.
o Select Enabled for an offload path. Installation through the offload path is supported for RHEL 6.2
and SLES 11 SP2 and later.
The HBA Boot Mode cannot be changed when the adapter is in Multi-Function Mode.
4. Reboot the system.
The system connects to the iSCSI target, and then the system boots from the CD/DVD drive.
5. Follow the corresponding OS instructions.
a. For Red Hat 6.2 and later, enter linux dd at the boot prompt, and then press the Enter key. Or,
use the in-box drivers.
b. For SLES11 SP2 and later, enter linux dd at the boot prompt, and then press the Enter key. Or,
use the in-box drivers.
6. Load the CD driver, and then follow the instructions to update the driver.
7. At the networking device prompt, choose the network adapter port, and then press OK.
8. At the configure TCP/IP prompt, configure the IP address acquisition, and then press OK.
For a static IP, enter the IP information for the iSCSI initiator. Indicate first priority for DHCP IPs and
secondary priority for static IPs.
9. For Red Hat, skip the media testing.
10. Remove the CD/DVD after the installation is complete and all files are copied.
The system reboots.
11. Modify the iscsid.conf to enable CHAP.
12. Reboot the system, and then configure the CHAP parameters for your system. Be sure that CHAP is
enabled in the option ROM and storage box.
