Hello, I am trying to make my HP NC380T boot from iSCSI target (msa 2312i).
HP provided firmware seems to not support iSCSI boot correctly - I have reflashed my nc380t with iscsi boot 1.2.3, but I am unable to configure it (I face the same issue: http://forums11.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?admit=109447626+1258477327393+28353475&threadId=1258058). I decided to try using gpxe to run my dhcp-less scenario. I have: 1. Generated rom using rom-o-matic for correct PCI/Vendor id (14e4164a) (it uses bnx2 driver) - version 0.9.9 2. Booted uxdiag cd from broadcom and flashed my nc380t with options: -c 1 -fmba <rom>. It was flashed correctly. (My mistake was not to disable second mba) 3. Rebooted machine and entered gpxe using ctrl+B NIC was correctly detected, there was a warning about "using legacy wrapper" Link was up on 1000mbps with flow control ON 4. Entered some commands: ifopen net0 set net0/ip 10.0.0.101 set net0/netmask 255.255.255.0 set root-path iscsi:10.0.0.44::::<my msa iqn> set initiator_iqn <my iqn> sanboot iscsi:10.0.0.44::::<my msa iqn> During connection attempt link was going up and down changing speed, and transmit timeout error was reported. Finally connection timed out error has been reported. When I run ifstat I get: TX:15 RX:0 I have tested multiple cables, both ports, both controllers (on msa), direct connection, conection through switch. This might be an issue with bnx2 driver... or I am doing something wrong. Any help is appreciated. Another issue is that I am now unable to enter computer BIOS or boot any OS - I will need to reflash my NIC, but AFAIK I cannot do this without network connectivity.
