Windows Server 2012 iSCSI Boot Setup
Windows Server 2012 supports booting as well as installing in either the offload or non-offload paths. Broadcom requires the
use of a "slipstream" DVD with the latest Broadcom drivers injected. See
Injecting (Slipstreaming) Broadcom Drivers into
. Also refer to the Microsoft knowledge base topic KB974072 at
.
NOTE: The Microsoft procedure injects only the eVBD and NDIS drivers. Broadcom recommends that all drivers
(eVBD, VBD, BXND, OIS, FCoE, and NetXtreme I NDIS) be injected.
The following procedure prepares the image for installation and booting in either the offload or non-offload path:
1. Remove any local hard drives on the system to be booted (the "remote system").
2. Load the latest Broadcom MBA and iSCSI boot images into the NVRAM of the adapter.
3. Configure the BIOS on the remote system to have the Broadcom MBA as the first bootable device and the CDROM as
the second device.
4. Configure the iSCSI target to allow a connection from the remote device. Ensure that the target has sufficient disk
space to hold the new O/S installation.
5. Boot up the remote system. When the Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) banner displays, press Ctrl+S to enter
the PXE menu.
6. At the PXE menu, set Boot Protocol to iSCSI.
7. Enter the iSCSI target parameters.
8. Set HBA Boot Mode to Enabled or Disabled. (Note: This parameter cannot be changed when the adapter is in
Multi-Function mode.)
9. Save the settings and reboot the system.
The remote system should connect to the iSCSI target and then boot from the DVDROM device.
10. Boot from DVD and begin installation.
11. Answer all the installation questions appropriately (specify the Operating System you want to install, accept the license
terms, etc.).
When the Where do you want to install Windows? window appears, the target drive should be visible. This is a
drive connected via the iSCSI boot protocol, located in the remote iSCSI target.
12. Select Next to proceed with Windows Server 2012 installation.
A few minutes after the Windows Server 2012 DVD installation process starts, a system reboot will occur. After the
reboot, the Windows Server 2012 installation routine should resume and complete the installation.
13. Following another system restart, check and verify that the remote system is able to boot to the desktop.
14. After Windows Server 2012 boots to the OS, Broadcom recommends running the driver installer to complete the
Broadcom drivers and application installation.
