Requirements for iSCSI targeting

The x722 Network Adapter on the ProLiant e910 server blade requires specific BIOS settings before the storage volume on the blade can be designated as an iSCSI target.

For a successful RHEL installation on an iSCSI bootable volume:

  • Boot into the UEFI BIOS, and then configure the setting found at BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) > Network Options > iSCSI Configuration for iSCSI Initiator. This setting enables support for iSCSI Boot Firmware Table (iBFT).

  • Use the most recent Anaconda RHEL installer to add the storage volume as an iSCSI target.

For detailed information about using the Anaconda installer and iBFT restrictions, see https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/installation_guide/appe-iscsi-disks.
