Configure iSCSI Virtual Drives
iSCSI virtual drives are used primarily to run supported operating systems that
reside on an external server that function as the Sun Server X4-2 host operating
system.
iSCSI virtual drives must be configured in the iSCSI BIOS Setup Utility screens. You
must set the iSCSI parameters on the selected port.
Before you begin:
■
You should be familiar with iSCSI theory of operation for the selected OS.
■
Refer to the OS documentation to verify that iSCSI targets can be mounted on a
client.
■
You will need access to an external iSCSI server running on any supported OS.
■
The Sun Server X4-2 must be in UEFI BIOS Boot Mode, not Legacy BIOS Boot
Mode.
See “Select Legacy BIOS or UEFI BIOS Boot Mode” on page 173 .

You must provide the following information from the iSCSI target server. The
following items are entered into the iSCSI BIOS Setup Utility screens:
1. Access the BIOS Setup Utility menus.
See “Access BIOS Setup Utility Menus” on page 164 .
