ISCSI boot problem

[Romain Van Vooren]

Hello
I try to boot with gpxe windows XP without a dhcp server. I have follow your
tutorial on the site.
My computer run on winXPSP3, he have a iscsi target starwind, and i can
connect on the scsi with the Mirosoft isci initiator.
So, i have also a virtual machine with gPXE and a embedded script, I think
my problem is with the script because I see the error "Could not initialise
iscsi device : connection timed out."
Here is my call for iscsi booting : "sanboot iscsi:192.168.1.101::::win2003"
what is wrong ??? (sorry for my bad english, french here :p)

it looks like you are specifying a faulty iscsi IQN

"iscsi:"<servername>":"<protocol>":"<port>":"<LUN>":"<targetname>

targetname should be a valid iscsi IQN eg:

iqn.example.com:disk1

"sanboot iscsi:192.168.1.101::::win2003" what is wrong ???

Whatever your iSCSI target is named. A FQDN is the naming standard,
though I'm not sure you're required to adhere to it, just to whatever
your iSCSI target is set up as on your iSCSI server.

sanboot iscsi:<iSCSI server>::::<iscsi target name>

My /etc/ietd.conf on my iSCSI server (192.168.0.10) has:
Target iqn.ws2
Lun 0 Path=/iscsi/ws2.img,Type=fileio

So my boot line for sanboot after setting up networking is:
sanboot iscsi:192.168.0.10::::iqn.ws2

That depends on what's configured on your SAN (in your case the windows
machine with starwind iscsi target software)

If you created a target with alias win2003, it probably is something like
this: *iqn*.2008-08.com.starwindsoftware:win2003
