Installation

The newly connected iSCSI disk will appear in the overview section as a device prefixed with SCSI. This
is the disk that you should select as your installation disk. Once identified, you can choose any of the
partitioning methods.

Depending on your system configuration, there may be other SCSI disks attached to the system.
Be very careful to identify the proper device before proceeding with the installation. Otherwise,
irreversible data loss may result from performing an installation on the wrong disk.

5.3.3. Rebooting to an iSCSI target

The procedure is specific to your hardware platform. As an example, here is how to reboot to your iSCSI
target using iPXE

iPXE> dhcp

Configuring (net0 [Link])....... ok

iPXE> sanboot iscsi:[Link]::::[Link]-iscsitarget:storage.sys0

If the procedure is successful, you should see the Grub menu appear on the screen.
