How to deal with SAN boot

olivierlambert opened this issue Β· comments

Quick question for you @robhoes πŸ˜‰

We got a use case for a "complex" deployment using a "bare metal cloud" provider. In this case, we need to:

  • boot in UEFI
  • using iPXE (we chainload to Grub2, then Xen)
  • on iSCSI (SAN) for system drives

We managed to get it until host boot (also we improved our doc for this!). However, as soon xcp-networkd started, it's taking control on NICs, and cut the iSCSI connection.

Is there a way to tell xcp-networkd to leave the iSCSI NIC alone? (here, eth0 is the dedicated iSCSI NIC, and eth1 management).
