LC Integration Best Practices Specification

Notes:

1) QLogic will not show up in the boot list until it connects to an iSCSI target. So if iSCSI is

misconfigured, or the network is down, it does not show up.

2) RAID and SATA HDs cannot be disabled in the boot list. Either disable the controller, but then

they are not available as secondary disks, or move them down in the HD boot list.

3) It is recommended to disable the entire HD list from the boot order until iSCSI is on the top, to

prevent it from booting into another HD

4.18 iSCSI boot using Intel (12G only)

This workflow sets several NIC attributes, including setup of iSCSI boot, by first setting the

required attributes for the operation, and then changing the boot order for the NIC. Additional

detail is provided as setting up iSCSI boot is complex. Approximate time for completion on a

12G system is 15-30 minutes depending on the system configuration.

NOTE: Additional details of the coding steps shown below, generational differences, and other

iSCSI information can be found in Appendix: iSCSI Boot information.

Applies to: LC2+

Prerequisites for script:

 Intel NIC

 Edit script to set desired parameters

Script: iscsiboot-12gHBA-intel.win

A) The Lifecycle Controller remote service must be in a “ready” state before executing any

other WSMAN commands.

 GetRemoteServicesAPIStatus()

B) GetNICViews: ENUMERATE the DCIM_NICVIEW class to collect information about the NIC

FQDDs. See section 2.2 for a definition of ENUMERATE .

 Check if specified NIC FQDD is present in NICViews

C) GetNICEnumerations: ENUMERATE the DCIM_NICEnumeration class to collect information

about the system. See section 2.2 for a definition of ENUMERATE .

 Check if TcpIpViaDHCP=Enabled and IscsiViaDHCP=Disabled

D) GetBootSourceSettings: ENUMERATE the DCIM_BootSourceSetting class to collect

information about the NIC FQDDs. See section 2.2 for a definition of ENUMERATE .

 Loop through all boot sources, if boot source is IPL entry, set CurrentEnabledStatus

=0 unless HD [Steps D)-F)]

E) ChangeBootSourceState(): Use InstanceID=IPL EnabledState=0 source=(instanceID from C)
