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
