Installation and configuration 9
Variable name Description
disabled, the iSCSI boot host software does not attempt to boot
from the iSCSI target and control returns to the system BIOS so
that the next boot device may be used. This option is generally
set to disabled when booting from a CD to install the iSCSI
target and then later set to enabled after the installation is
completed.
DHCP Vendor ID Determines if the iSCSI boot host software interprets the Vendor
Class ID field used during DHCP. If the Vendor Class ID field in
the DHCP Offer packet matches the value in the field, the iSCSI
boot host software looks into the DHCP Option 43 fields for the
required iSCSI boot extensions. If DHCP is disabled, this value
does not need to be set.
Link Up Delay Time Determines how long the iSCSI boot host software waits, in
seconds, after an Ethernet link is established before sending any
data over the network. The valid values are 0 to 255.
Use TCP Timestamp Determines if the TCP Timestamp option is enabled or disabled.
LUN Busy Retry Count Determines if the number of connection retries the iSCSI Boot
initiator attempts when the iSCSI target LUN is busy.
Windows HBA Boot Mode Set to disable when the host OS is configured for software
initiator mode and to enable for HBA mode.
About configuring the DHCP settings
If you configure the DHCP server for iSCSI network boot (see KB928496
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928496) to do this), then set the "iSCSI parameters via DHCP"
parameter to Enabled and the "TCP/IP parameters via DHCP" parameter to Enabled.
If you do NOT configure the DHCP server iSCSI network boot, then set the "iSCSI parameters via DHCP"
parameter to Disabled and the "TCP/IP parameters via DHCP" parameter to Enabled.
If you are not using the DHCPat all, then you must set both parameters to Disabled and manually enter all
configurations as needed.
