Step 4.
Edit the /etc/sysconfig/iscsi-target file as follow.
Step 5.
Start the iSCSI target service.
Step 6.
Perform a sanity check by connecting to the iSCSI target from a remote PC on the 10GE
network link.
5.1.1.2 Installing RHEL6.4/RHEL6.5 on a Remote Storage over iSCSI
Step 1.
Reboot the diskless client and perform a PXE boot with FlexBoot.
This is not an iSCSI boot, rather a regular PXE initiated network deployment of RHEL6.4/
RHEL6.5. In the DHCP server configuration, the PXELINUX (pxelinux.0) and a RHEL
6.4 distribution media will be provided for network installation.
The clients’ HDD was removed beforehand; therefore the RHEL installer (also know as
Anaconda) will ask to locate a HDD. The Anacaonda’s built-in iSCSI discovery will be
used to connect to the iSCSI target LUN partition. For further information, please refer to:

single/Installation_Guide/index.html#ISCSI_disks
Step 2.
Select the Network Interface (the same interface which was used by FlexBoot during PXE
boot stage) for the installation process once prompted.
Step 3.
Select the type of Installation Media access.
In this example, NFS is used, which also requires us to enter the NFS server name be
entered, and the directory path to the installation media on the NFS.
Step 4.
Select Specialized Storage Devices.
Step 5.
Click on the + Add Advanced Target button.
The local Hard Disk partition assigned to the LUN (/dev/cciss/c0d0p9 in the example
above) must not contain any valuable data, as this data will be destroyed by the instal-
lation process taking place later in this procedure
