PXE installing involves creating a server boot image that resides on another device, typically a LUN in the iSCSI array (target). iSCSI booting is useful for blades and other diskless servers that lack an internal hard drive where the kernel, OS/hypervisor, and host drivers can be loaded. When PXE installing a server's boot information, you will create a driver disk, inject the Oracle Virtual Networking host drivers into the boot image, and then reboot the server.
During the host boot process, you are prompted for the iSCSI initiator's and target's IQN, which you will need to supply for the boot process to complete.
Enabling the host drivers consists of the following main tasks:
Depending on your host server type, either:
