a
Boot to a bootable device.
b
Save the configuration to a file using the
iscsiutl
program by typing
the following command at the command prompt:
ISCSIUTL -SAVE -FILE <FILENAME> -NIC <
#
>
where FILENAME is the name of the iSCSI boot configuration file
and # is the NIC number.
NOTE: It is recommended that you include the NIC number in the file name.
For example, to name the iSCSI boot configuration file of the first NIC use the
following command:
ISCSIUTL –SAVE –FILE dell1 –NIC 1
where NIC 1 is the NIC number of the first NIC. To name the iSCSI boot
configuration file of the second NIC use the following command:
ISCSIUTL –SAVE –FILE dell2 –NIC 2
NOTE: The iSCSI DOS utility identifies each port of a dual-port NIC separately.
If you have configured both ports on a dual-port NIC to BFi, consider each port
as a separate NIC.
