OTHER ISCSI BOOT CONSIDERATIONS
There are several other factors that should be considered when configuring a system for iSCSI boot.
Virtual LANs
Virtual LAN (VLAN) tagging is not supported for iSCSI boot with the Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator.
Teaming
The use of any form of teaming (Smart Load Balancing, Generic Trunking, or Link Aggregation) with the iSCSI boot device
is not supported; however, teaming can still be configured on other devices in the system. For more information, see
Configuring Teaming.
ISCSI BOOT REMOTE INSTALLATION
This section discusses the procedures for creating and installing a Microsoft OS directly to the target through Broadcom
iSCSI solution.
• Windows Server 2003 (OIS)
• Windows Server 2008 (Non-OIS)
• Windows Server 2008 (OIS)
Windows Server 2003 (OIS)
Installation of the OIS driver, along with a clean Windows Server 2003 SP2 installation requires that the Storport hotfix
KB957910 (or later) be "slipstreamed" into the standard Windows Sever 2003 SP2 CD. The Microsoft Storport hotfix
KB957910 can be found at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/957910. The Microsoft knowledge base article that details the
slipstreaming procedure can be found at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/814847.
The OIS F6 installation is composed of two floppy disks per architecture. The contents of these disks are:
