Troubleshooting iSCSI Boot
The following troubleshooting tips are useful for iSCSI boot.
Problem : The Broadcom iSCSI Crash Dump utility will not work properly to capture a memory dump when the
link speed for iSCSI boot is configured for 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
Solution : The iSCSI Crash Dump utility is supported when the link speed for iSCSI boot is configured for 1
Gbps. 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps is not supported.
Problem : An iSCSI target is not recognized as an installation target when you try to install Windows Server 2008
by using an IPv6 connection.
Solution : This is a known third-party issue. See Microsoft Knowledge Base KB 971443, http://
support.microsoft.com/kb/971443 .
Problem : The iSCSI configuration utility will not run.
Solution : Ensure that the iSCSI Boot firmware is installed in the NVRAM.
Problem : After configuring the iSCSI boot LUN to 255, a system blue screen appears when performing iSCSI
boot.
Solution : Although Broadcom’s iSCSI solution supports a LUN range from 0 to 255, the Microsoft iSCSI
software initiator does not support a LUN of 255. Configure a LUN value from 0 to 254.
Problem : Unable to update inbox driver if a non-inbox hardware ID present.
Solution : Create a custom slipstream DVD image with supported drivers present on the install media.
