iSCSI Boot Parameters section, you have to boot the offload image. SLES 10.x and SLES 11 do not support offload.
17. For IPv6, you can now change the IP address for both the initiator and the target to the desired IPv6 address in the
NVRAM configuration.
SUSE 11.1 Remote DVD installation workaround
1. Create a new file called boot.open-iscsi with the content shown below.
2. Copy the file you just created to /etc/init.d/ folder and overwrite the existing one.
Content of the new boot.open-iscsi file:
#!/bin/bash
#
# /etc/init.d/iscsi
