How to iSCSI Boot Windows Vista

If you want to iSCSI Boot Vista, please follow the steps at below:

1. Go to the install directory of CCBoot server, you will find a file named “20G.vmdk”. Copy it to the directory that you want to save your images to. Press the “Options” button and select “DHCP Settings”, set the “IP Gateway” as CCBoot server’s IP.

2. Edit the client properties in CCBoot. Specify “20G.vmdk” as the system image for this client and then check “Keep Write-back File”. Press “Save” button to save these configurations.

3. Start the client PC and enter BIOS, set “first boot from LAN” and “second boot from CDROM”. Insert Vista installation disk into the DVD box and then restart the client.

4. The client will boot from LAN first. It will report that “No more network devices” and then boot from DVD to install Vista. When you get to the interface where you can select the install target of Vista, you will find an iSCSI disk with 20G size. Install Vista to this disk. If you cannot find the 20G iSCSI disk, please attach a hard disk on the PC and try it again.

5. If the Vista installation finished, please input “iscsicpl.cpl” in the Run window to active the iSCSI service.
