Dell Intel PRO Family of Adapters - Manual (Page 15)

Microsoft* Windows* Setup for Intel® FCoE Boot
Requirements
1. Follow installation steps to install the Intel® Ethernet FCoE Boot-capable adapters with Intel® Ethernet FCoE Boot
firmware support.
2. Create a disk target (LUN) on an available Fibre Channel target. Configure this LUN to be accessible to the WWPN
address of the initiator of the host being booted.
3. Make sure the Intel® FCoE initiator of the host system starts the Intel® Ethernet FCoE Boot firmware. The firmware
should be configured properly, be able to connect to Fibre Channel target, and detect the boot disk.
4. To set up a system boot directly to an FCoE disk ("diskless install"), follow the steps in Installing Windows Server from a
Remote Disk .
5. To set up Windows Server* boot system when a local disk is available, follow the steps in Installing Windows Server
with Local Disk .
Installing Windows Server from a Remote Disk (Diskless Install)
NOTE: This section only applies to Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 and later.
After the Option Rom is installed, if you wish to install Windows Server 2008 R2 directly to the FCoE disk, do the following:
1. Locate the FCoE drivers in \FCOEBOOT\Winx64\Setup. You may copy all the files in the Setup directory to a floppy,
CD/DVD or USB media.
2. Boot the install media.
3. Perform a Custom install and proceed to the "Where do you want to install Windows?" screen.
4. Use Load Driver to load the FCoE drivers. Go to the location where you copied the file from the Setup directory to
(Step 1) and load the following two drivers in the specified order:
a. Intel® Ethernet Setup Driver for FCoE.
NOTE: Duplicate entries may be displayed if there are multiple FCoE–capable ports present. Select any one
entry to continue.
b. Intel® Ethernet Virtual Storage Miniport Driver for FCoE.
NOTE: The FCoE drivers will block any other network traffic from the FCoE-supported ports until after you
have performed step 7. Do not attempt to install an NDIS miniport for any FCoE-supported ports prior to
step 7 of this process.
5. You should now see the FCoE disk or disks appear in the list of available install targets. All disks accessible by this
initiator through the boot port should appear.
6. Select the FCoE disk configured for boot in the Option ROM and continue the install until Windows is installed and you
are at the desktop.
7. Follow the instructions for installing Windows Server and the FCoE stack . This will install the network drivers and
configure the FCoE drivers to work with them.
NOTE: You cannot deselect the FCoE feature. You will be prompted to reboot at the end of the installation
process.
8. Windows may prompt you to reboot once again after it returns to the desktop.
