iSCSI Boot Step by Step instructions for the Windows AdministratorThis section of the document provides detailed instructions for the Windows administrator on how to have Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008 system remote boot from an iSCSI target using the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator. The steps involve1. Prepare a Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008 with a supported NIC or iSCSI HBA. Refer to the Windows Catalog to obtain a list of such hardware. 2. Install Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008 on the system and install all available hot fixes and Service Packs (these will be available mostly for Windows Server 2003 only)3. For Windows Server 2003, install the NDIS QFE described in KB902113. This provides a fix in NDIS to enable the NDIS stack to support paging I/O under certain situations. 4. For Windows Server 2003, install the iSCSI Software Initiator from the Microsoft download center. 5. Reboot the system 6. Test and then "image" the new operating system installation. Please note that the only supported method of imaging Server 2003 is in conjunction with the System Preparation Utility (Sysprep), which is included with Windows7. If required, install a DHCP server. Reconfigure the DHCP Server to support reservations since this is required for iSCSI boot. 8. Create a LUN on your iSCSI target. 9. Make this newly created iSCSI target accessible only to the client. Configure this LUN to be accessible to the MAC address of the NIC card and the iqn name of the iSCSI Software Initiator Windows Server 2003 host being booted.10. Ensure that the Windows Server 2003 machine (the host) installed in step 1 can successfully access the iSCSI target volume created in setup 8. 11. Transfer the image to the iSCSI LUN created in step 8 12. Configure the host to boot from this image transferred in step 10 13. Remove local hard drive or keep local hard drive for pagefile useThe following sections explain bullets 7 through 12 in more detail using screen shots as appropriate. Configuring DHCP for iSCSI Boot (Step 7) In order to boot separate machines to individually assigned iSCSI targets, DHCP reservations can be used. Using a reservation allows the target (root path) and host name options to be specified for each machine. Specifying these options at the scope or server level would cause all clients receiving leases from the scope or server respectively to use the same root path and host name. The current implementation does not support single image instancing which makes the use of scope and server options, primarily for the purpose of root path, invalid at this time.Before configuring DHCP, be sure you are not attempting to host DHCP on a network that already has an active DHCP server. Doing so could result in disruption of service for users of the existing server.Here are the steps to configure a Windows Server 2003 to properly run a DHCP service that can be used for iSCSI boot:
