Good day all,
I decided to do some testing with iSCSI boot from within a KVM.
My setup is a Centos 7.1 KVM host with several Fedora 22 and Centos 7.1 guests
in it. The iSCSI storage has been configured
from a LenovoEMC EPX6300 NAS.
1. I've configured the iSCSI bootlun to be available for the OS install.
2. Within the KVM guest OS install I assign the LUN to the Centos 7.1 OS.
3. The OS installs without errors ont he iSCSI LUN.
After reboot of the freshly installed OS on the KVM
I configure the iSCSI device in the OVMF user interface.
4. The iSCSI BOOT LUN is visible from the UEFI shell.
5. When booting from the LUN, GRUB correcly displays the bootmenu.
6. When selecting and starting a kernel/initrd pair the started kernel quickly
crashes reporting a fault.
My questions;
1. Is iSCSI boot support in the OVMF/EDKII currrently usable?
2. Can I help in further analyzing the issue? It could be an issue in EDKII
(drivers?), in grub or in the Linux kernel.
Thanks for your time.
Kind regards,
Pascal
