Hey Guys, we are using a Dell Equallogic iSCSI SAN Appliance to serve our volumes. We want to get rid of expensive Qlogic iscsi HBAs to boot from SAN.
Therefore we are using our standard NIC with PXE booting undionly.kpxe which then logs in the disk to boot. Without a tagged vlan this is working flawless. When we try to boot it over a tagged vlan the following happens: * ipxe successfully logs in iscsi disk * "Grub loading" * Read error Debuglog: https://gist.github.com/tommics/5795964 On the Equallogic we see "iSCSI initiator connection failure. Connection was closed by peer". Keep in mind there is no general problem with Equallogic, this only happens when we use "vcreate" and then autoboot net0-3. If we configure the switch to send the same vlan untagged there is no problem. Our boot script looks like this: #!ipxe prompt --key 0x02 --timeout 2000 Press Ctrl-B for the iPXE command line... && shell || vcreate --tag 3 net0 autoboot net0-3 Somehow it looks like it might have something to do with the redirection equallogic is doing: * ipxe login to group ip * equallogic gives redirection ip to ipxe * ipxe should relogin under new ip This is how i understand it. Any suggestions on how to proceed? I would be glad to help further debugging.
