iSCSI in recent Supermicro boards

2011-05-16 Thread Alexey Suslikov
Hello.

Does anybody know about iSCSI BIOS settings in recent Supermicro boards?

For example, manual for X8SIL family says:

1-7 iSCSI Support
The X8SIL/X8SIL-F/X8SIL-V motherboard supports the iSCSI Internet
Protocol. iSCSI
is an IP networking standard used to link and manage data storage, and transfer
data across the internet and private intranets through long distance.
iSCSI can be
used to transmit data over local area networks (LANs), wide area
networks (WANs),
or the Internet. It can enable location-independent data storage and retrieval.
iSCSI allow clients to issue SCSI commands to remote SCSI storage devices and
allow data centers to consolidate remote storage devices into storage
arrays, giving
an illusion of locally-attached disks to host servers. Unlike
fiber-optic networks that
require special cabling, iSCSI can run over long distance using
existing networks.
For the X8SIL/X8SIL-F/X8SIL-V motherboard, iSCSI is supported on LAN 1. This
can be enabled through the BIOS: Advanced = PCI/PnP Configuration = Onboard
LAN1 Option ROM Select. Please see Chapter 4 for details.

Is it booting over iSCSI support? A kind of iSCSI packet
prioritization? Smth else?

Thanks.

Alexey

This is some kind of BIOS boot-up support

The chips on this board are run-of-the-mill em
