Boot from SAN is the process of booting a server directly from a disk operating system (DOS) image located on a storage area network (SAN). When booting from SAN, the storage device is typically identified by its World Wide Port Name (WWPN) and a Logical Unit Number (LUN). By extending the server system boot basic input/output system (BIOS), boot from SAN functionality is provided by the boot BIOS contained in the Dell server. When properly configured, the controller then permanently directs the server to boot from a logical unit (physical disk drive) on the SAN as if it was a local physical disk drive. iSCSI Overview iSCSI is an (Internet Protocol) IP–based storage networking standard for linking data storage facilities. By carrying SCSI commands over IP networks, iSCSI is used to facilitate data transfers over intranets and to manage storage over long distances. iSCSI can be used to transmit data over local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), or the Internet and can enable location‐independent data storage and retrieval. iSCSI–based SAN Architecture Host server or client system (iSCSI initiator) IP Network Raid disk array (iSCSI Target) Individual virtual drive images Deploying Operating System on iSCSI and FCOE LUN Flow Chart for OS Deployment Using iSCSI LUN Deploying Operating System on iSCSI and FCOE LUN Deploying Operating System on iSCSI and FCOE LUN Configuring iSCSI Boot Parameters for Qlogic and OS Installation By setting up a basic iSCSI boot configuration, you can configure your initiator, contact network devices, and set up an iSCSI boot target. When setting up a basic iSCSI boot configuration you must do the following: 1. Press F10 to open Lifecycle Controller. 2. In the left pane, click System Setup, and then click Advanced Hardware Configuration. Deploying Operating System on iSCSI and FCOE LUN 3. On the System Setup page, click Device Settings. 4. Select Qlogic adapter and configure the iSCSI initiator name and enable boot support. Deploying Operating System on iSCSI and FCOE LUN 5. 6. Restart the server. Boot to OS media, select iSCSI LUN during installation, and then complete the installation. Note: If there are multiple controllers in your system, your iSCSI Initiator name may be different for each controller. For other network cards, different adapter settings are present.

In summary, unaltered Fibre Channel frames are encapsulated in an Ethernet header, sent over a lossless Ethernet fabric, and un‐encapsulated when they reach the target.

When you configure the firmware, you enable the adapter for the software FCoE boot and specify the boot LUN parameters. 1. Press F10 to open Lifecycle Controller.
