Modify iSCSI Virtual Drive Properties in UEFI Boot
Mode (BIOS)
Use this procedure to configure iSCSI virtual drives using the iSCSI BIOS Setup Utility screens
on systems configured to use UEFI Boot Mode.
iSCSI virtual drives are used primarily to run supported operating systems that reside on an
external server and that function as the local server host operating system.
iSCSI virtual drives must be configured in the UEFI BIOS Setup Utility iSCSI screens.
Before you begin, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
■
You are familiar with iSCSI theory of operation and with iSCSI server setup procedures.
■
You have verified that iSCSI targets can be mounted on a client. Review the operating
system documentation for more information.
■
You have access to an external iSCSI server running on a supported operating system.
■
The server is in UEFI Boot Mode, not Legacy BIOS Boot Mode. See “Select UEFI Boot
Mode or Legacy BIOS Boot Mode (BIOS)” on page 47.
