16. Make sure all runlevels of network service are on.
17. Make sure 2,3 and 5 runlevels of iscsi service are on.
18. For Red Hat 6.0, make sure Network Manager service is stopped and disabled.
19. Install uIP (not required for SuSE 10).
20. Install linux-nx2 package.
21. Install bibt package.
22. Remove ifcfg-eth*.
23. Reboot.
24. For SUSE 11.1, follow remote DVD installation workaround.
25. After system reboot, login and change to /opt/bcm/bibt folder and run iscsi_setup.sh script to create offload and non-
offload initrd images.
26. Copy the initrd images, offload and non-offload, to the /boot folder.
27. Change the grub menu to point to the new initrd images.
28. To enable CHAP you need to modify iscsid.conf (Red Hat only).
29. Reboot and change CHAP parameters if desired.
30. Continue booting into the iSCSI Boot image and select one of the images you created (non-offload or offload). Your
choice should correspond with your choice in the iSCSI Boot parameters section. If HBA Boot Mode was enabled in the
iSCSI Boot Parameters section, you have to boot the offload image. SLES 10.x and SLES 11 do not support offload.
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
