Hi Lee Thanks! I will check out SanDeploy which I didn't know about.
I have the free Starwind version (which they don't publish any more) and it works very well. But target size is limited, targets can only be two, and a physical disk cannot be the source, only img files. Of course appliances like QNAP is an alternative but I prefer not to be locked into proprietary hardware. /gustav >>> "Lee Bradshaw" <[email protected]> 10-02-2011 23:07 >>> One other thing I'll add: Starwind gives much better performance.

The DHCP server does a neat trick and inserts the boot loader info into the DHCP response from your own DHCP server. Documentation looks rather sparse, but that's because it really is very simple to set up. I was having problems with reliability though and thought maybe it was the server; although at the moment the jury is out and I'm more inclined to suspect the odd routing Windows imposes. But before I noticed that I moved to Starwind and that's what I'm trialling now. I have a QNAP server on order and all this is really just filling in until that arrives.

May I ask of what kind, please? I've researched a lot and haven't been able to locate free or low-cost software suitable for a small business. It is as if you wish something capable and flexible, suppliers believe you are an enterprise with big money. The low-cost solutions I can find are too limited - too few or size-limited targets . I would love to use the native Microsoft solution but understand it is available for OEM use only - again for enterprise use at big money, thus no cigar. /gustav >>> "Lee Bradshaw" <[email protected]> 10-02-2011 00:25 >>> Hi, I've now set up a native Windows iSCSI server and am booting from it. <snip> _______________________________________________ ipxe-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ipxe.org/mailman/listinfo/ipxe-devel
