176 Sun Server X4-2 Service Manual • May 2014
▼ Configure iSCSI Virtual Drives
iSCSI virtual drives are used primarily to run supported operating systems that
reside on an external server that function as the Sun Server X4-2 host operating
system.
iSCSI virtual drives must be configured in the iSCSI BIOS Setup Utility screens. You
must set the iSCSI parameters on the selected port.
Before you begin:
■ You should be familiar with iSCSI theory of operation for the selected OS.
■ Refer to the OS documentation to verify that iSCSI targets can be mounted on a
client.
■ You will need access to an external iSCSI server running on any supported OS.
■ The Sun Server X4-2 must be in UEFI BIOS Boot Mode, not Legacy BIOS Boot
Mode.
See “Select Legacy BIOS or UEFI BIOS Boot Mode” on page 173.
■ You must provide the following information from the iSCSI target server. The
following items are entered into the iSCSI BIOS Setup Utility screens:
1. Access the BIOS Setup Utility menus.
See “Access BIOS Setup Utility Menus” on page 164.
2. In the BIOS Setup Utility menus, navigate to the UEFI Driver Control Menu.
Options displayed include iSCSI booting and all controllable devices.
