Hi all:
I've been tasked with demonstrating boot over LAN and I've been following
several of your discussions to try and figure out how to make this work. I need
to boot a windows 7 thin client over LAN. I tried to follow the "how to boot
from san" thread here: http://etherboot.org/wiki/howtos
My set up for this demonstration is very simple:
My dhcp server is running on Mint Linux 8 'Helena' and I have directly
connected the windows box to the Linux box via Ethernet cable; no internet
connection, just a private network. So far, so good. The W7 machine gets its ip
address from the dhcp server and either box can successfully ping the other.
When I remove the w7 HD and boot to the gpxe environment (e1000e-only.iso) the
initiator recognizes the network (net0) and 'dhcp net0' returns the correct mac
address and I see the 'ok' message.
The problem I'm having is that my sanboot cmd is failing. I try 'sanboot
iscsi:192.168.1.100::::iqn.2007-08.100.1.168.192:iscsiboot' but, I get this
message:
"Could not boot from
iscsi:192.168.1.100::::iqn.2007-08.100.1.168.192:iscsiboot: Not supported
(0x3c03e003)"
I'm not sure if my sanboot syntax is wrong or if I have neglected to configure
the server settings appropriately? I'm new to network administration tasks so
it's likely that I mis configured something or forgot something else entirely.
Can you take a look at my .conf files below and tell me where I went wrong?
Thank you very much,
Erin
This is all I have in my ietd.conf file:, everything else is commented out:
