Listed below are the options in the Intel® iSCSI Boot Configuration Menu:
l Use Dynamic IP Configuration (DHCP) - Selecting this checkbox will cause iSCSI Boot to attempt
to get the client IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP address from a DHCP server. If this check-
box is enabled, these fields will not be visible.
l Initiator Name - Enter the iSCSI initiator name to be used by Intel® iSCSI Boot when connecting to an
iSCSI target. The value entered in this field is global and used by all iSCSI Boot-enabled ports in the
system. This field may be left blank if the "Use DHCP For Target Configuration" checkbox
is enabled. For information on how to retrieve the iSCSI initiator name dynamically from a DHCP
server see the section DHCP Server Configuration.
l Initiator IP - Enter the client IP address to be used for this port as static IP configuration in this field.
This IP address will be used by the port during the entire iSCSI session. This option is visible if DHCP
is not enabled.
l Subnet Mask - Enter the IP subnet-mask in this field. This should be the IP subnet mask used on the
network which the selected port will be connecting to for iSCSI. This option is visible if DHCP is not
enabled.
l Gateway IP - Enter the IP address of the network gateway in this field. This field is necessary if the
iSCSI target is located on a different sub-network than the selected Intel® iSCSI Boot port. This option
is visible if DHCP is not enabled.
l Use DHCP for iSCSI Target Information - Selecting this checkbox will cause Intel® iSCSI Boot to
attempt to gather the iSCSI target's IP address, IP port number, iSCSI target name, and SCSI LUN ID
from a DHCP server on the network. For information on how to configure the iSCSI target parameters
using DHCP see the section DHCP Server Configuration. When this checkbox is enabled, these fields
will not be visible.
l Target Name - Enter the IQN name of the iSCSI target in this field. This option is visible if DHCP for
iSCSI target is not enabled.
