Booting from SAN with QLogic QLA4010 and Microsoft Initiator

Miscellaneous Planning and Procedures

Booting from SAN with QLogic QLA4010 and Microsoft Initiator

The following procedure for Booting from SAN with a QLogic iSCSI

HBA with Microsoft Initiator Service is illustrated using a CLARiiON

CX series storage array. Booting with a QLogic iSCSI HBA with

Microsoft Initiator Service can also be done on a Symmetrix storage

array. For more information, refer to Symmetrix LUN Masking

documentation.

The important concept is understanding the HBA’s iqn name, its

relationship to persistant binding in a SAN environment, and how

the Microsoft Initiator Service changes the iqn name.

IMPORTANT Failing to change the iqn name before installing the Windows

operating system will cause the host to blue screen for an inaccessible

boot device when the Microsoft Initiator Service changes the iqn

name after being installed.

Note: Booting from SAN with QLA4010 and Microsoft Initiator follows the

same setup configuration as boot from SAN with the QLogic QLA4010 iSCSI

HBA.

IMPORTANT At this point, only connect the HBA that will be used to boot.

Remaining HBA(s) can be connected after the Windows operating

system is installed. Failing to do so could result in a blue screen

during the installation process. Best practice recommends having

only the LUN you will be booting from presented to the host. This

will ease the process of selecting the correct boot lun during the HBA

configuration and during the O/S installation. Remaining LUNS can

be added after the installation.

1. The first step is to know what you are going to name your server

and how that translates into an iqn name. Microsoft Initiator uses

the following naming convention: iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft

:servername.domainname. Therefore, if the server name is to be

test, and the domain name is workgroup then the name the

Initiator will use to rename the HBA will be

iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:test.workgroup.

2. On the host, go into the QLogic BIOS and change the iqn name to

iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:servername. (If networking is

configured during installation, set the iqn name to

iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft :servername.domainname).
