Booting
After that the system has been prepared for an iSCSI boot and the operating
system is present on the iSCSI target, the last step is to perform the actual boot.
The system will boot to Windows or Linux over the network and operate as if it
were a local disk drive.
1.
Reboot the server.
2.
Press CTRL+S.
3.
To boot through an offload path, set the HBA Boot Mode to
Enabled
. To boot
through a non-offload path, set the HBA Boot Mode to
Disabled
. This
parameter cannot be changed when the adapter is in Multi-Function mode.
If CHAP authentication is needed, enable CHAP authentication after determining
that booting is successful (see
“Enabling CHAP Authentication” on page 174
