  • Geeks always use "Backspace" instead of "Del" even though it takes additional key press to move the cursor. Duh..

  • Isnt just better to run a simple OS wint remote desktop connection to virtual machines on server????

  • Pretty older man. WOOF!

  • This seems to be too compliated just to boot a OS.

  • Hi,

    How u deal with the "computer name" if the disk image is share among multiple diskless PCs??

  • you configured 1st boot nic (initator)172.16.1.1 should be 172.16.1.14

  • gPXE (boots from USB key, NIC boot rom, CDrom etc) is also a handy tool for sysadmins, it does iSCSI and AoE too as well as PXE (it's free)

  • There are a number of ways to get the copies of the iSCSI boot LUN. Once the first server is booting off the iSCSI LUN, it coulld become the "golden" copy. You can run sysprep and then shut down the computer. From that point, you would need to make copies of the LUN, that can be done with one the MD3000i's premium feature called "Virtual Disk Copy" then present the copies to the different hosts. Another option is to present this LUN with additional target LUNS and use ghost32 to make copies.

  • The software used on the USB key was just DOS, I made the bootable key, from the Dell 32 Bit Diagnostics program (available on each driver & download page for each server) and copied the NIC firmware and ghost software to the key. They are not "iSCSI" aware, the OS just sees the iSCSI LUN as a local disk.

  • How does the windows 2003 operating system get copied to the second iSCSI backup? It was copied to the first iSCSI.
