Windows Server 2008 R2 and SP2 iSCSI Boot Setup
Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2008 SP2 support iSCSI booting. The following procedure
references Windows Server 2008 R2 but is common to both the Windows Server 2008 R2 and SP2.
Required CD/ISO image:
• Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 with the Broadcom drivers injected. Refer to the Microsoft knowledge base
topic KB974072 at
.
Other software required:
• Bindview.exe (Windows Server 2008 R2 only; see KB976042)
Procedure:
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 onto NVRAM of the adapter.
3.
Configure the BIOS on the remote system to have the Broadcom MBA as the first bootable device, and the
DVDROM 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.
In General Parameters, set the
Boot to Target
parameter to
One-Time Disabled.
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 to 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 2008 R2 installation.
Note:
Refer to the
silent.txt
file for the specific driver installer application for instructions on how to
extract the individual Windows NetXtreme drivers.
