Booting WinPE 2.0 / 2008 over iSCSI

[Br4tt3]

Hi pepz,

Today, we are running alot of SAN booted server (no local drives) over Fibre Channel / HBA. This is NOT a problem and is working smoothly with WinPE 2.0 and 2008. However, my storage guys are now stating that are going to have iSCSI devices that we need to be able to boot against. So, here it goes: Anyone had any expierence with it and what to share some light on this chapter? I dont understand how Windows will be able to see a NIC(iSCSI enabled) as way for a reading / writing data to / from! Thanks for any advice on how to move along....

this would give me an idea:

So if I understand it right, either a piece of software or hardware speaks to the net and all your windows sees is a SCSI adapter.

I guess its just a matter of drivers.
