==== Opensolaris direct install iscsi ====

  * Documentation can be found here: http://wikis.sun.com/display/OpenSolarisInfo/Configuring+iSCSI+Boot+for+x86+Systems

=== Prerequisites ===

  * A Solaris Express Community Edition (SXCE) Build 104 or later DVD

=== How to Install ===
  * Create an empty disk and expose over iSCSI

  * Make sure the DVD-ROM is activated as second boot device (in bios)

  * During install choose the Solaris Interactive mode (default).

  * Once the network configuration is done, exit the installer (go to a shell)

  * Use the iscsiadm command to connect  your iSCSI Target
==for static config:==
   # iscsiadm add static-config iqn,target-ip:port 
   # iscsiadm modify discovery -s enable
 ==for send targets==
   # iscsiadm add discovery address <target-ip>
   # iscsiadm modify discovery -t enable

 ===Find out the disk name: cXdXtX===
  # iscsiadm list target -S

  * If the Device OS name is not specified, try:

  # devfsadm -i iscsi

===Continue the installation====
  * run: 

  # install-solaris


  * The installer should continue, and the iscsi disk should be available

  * After specifying the target LUN, type install-solaris. When the install wizard appears, select Next to resume the installation.

=== Successfully tested ===
  * Opensolaris SXCE build 129 was successfully installed, on a system using a Realtek 8168 NIC

=== Known issues ====
  * I tried to create an image of this disk, to deploy new clients. For some reason if the target IQN is changing I can't boot anymore.
