Problem:
The Cavium iSCSI Crash Dump utility will not work properly to capture
a memory dump when the link speed for iSCSI boot is configured for
10Mbps or 100Mbps.
Solution:
The iSCSI Crash Dump utility is supported when the link speed for
iSCSI boot is configured for 1Gbps or 10Gbps. 10Mbps or 100Mbps is
not supported.
Problem:
When switching iSCSI boot from the Microsoft standard path to
Cavium iSCSI offload, the booting fails to complete.
Solution:
Prior to switching the iSCSI boot path, install or upgrade the Cavium
Virtual Bus Device (VBD) driver and OIS driver to the latest versions.
Problem:
The iSCSI configuration utility will not run.
Solution:
Ensure that the iSCSI Boot firmware is installed in the NVRAM.
Problem:
A system blue screen occurs when installing the Cavium drivers
through Windows Plug-and-Play (PnP).
Solution:
Install the drivers through the Setup installer.
Problem:
For static IP configuration, switching from Layer 2 iSCSI boot to
Cavium iSCSI HBA causes an IP address conflict.
Solution:
Change the IP address of the network property in the OS.
Problem:
After configuring the iSCSI boot LUN to 255, a system blue screen
appears when performing iSCSI boot.
Solution:
Although Cavium’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:
NDIS miniports with Code 31 yellow-bang after L2 iSCSI boot install.
Solution:
Run the latest version of the driver installer.
Problem:
Unable to update inbox driver if a non-inbox hardware ID is present.
Solution:
Create a custom slipstream DVD image with supported drivers
present on the install media.
