Configuring iBFT

Note: Boot mode must be set to Disable to access the iBFT Configuration menu.

iSCSI configuration through the NIC interface (iBFT) is exactly the same as normal

iSCSI configuration except it is performed through the NIC interface. In order for this to

occur, you must use the operating system’s NIC driver and an iBFT-aware operating

system.
To configure iBFT:
1. On the Emulex NIC Selection Screen (Figure 11-2), select iBFT Configuration and

press <Enter>.
The iBFT Configuration screen appears.

The iBFT Configuration screen enables you to perform the following tasks:

Edit the iSCSI initiator name

Enable multipath I/O

Configure the CHAP authentication mode

Configure the network settings

Configure the primary or secondary targets

Once you have completed the iBFT configuration, you must save your changes.
To save changes:
1. Press <Esc> to return to the NIC Selection Menu.
2. Select Save Changes and press <Enter>.
