====== Booting from an SRP target ======

===== Configuring your DHCP Server =====

==== Using ISC dhcpd ====

Place the following two lines in ///etc/dhcpd.conf//:

    filename "";
    option root-path "ib_srp::::dgid::service_id::id_ext:ioc_guid";

where //dgid//, //service_id//, //id_ext// and //ioc_guid// are the parameters of your SRP target.  For example:

    filename "";
    option root-path "ib_srp::::fe800000000000000002c9030001c65b::0002c9030001c65a::0002c9030001c65a:0002c9030001c65a";

You will probably need to restart your DHCP server for the changes to take effect:

    /etc/init.d/dhcpd restart

==== Using Microsoft DHCP Server ====

In the DHCP administrative tool, right-click on //Server Options// and choose //Configure Options//.  Click on "017 Root Path" and set the "String value" to

    ib_srp::::dgid::service_id::id_ext:ioc_guid";

where //dgid//, //service_id//, //id_ext// and //ioc_guid// are the parameters of your SRP target.  For example:

    ib_srp::::fe800000000000000002c9030001c65b::0002c9030001c65a::0002c9030001c65a:0002c9030001c65a

===== Booting Your Client =====

Boot your diskless client using gPXE.  If all has gone well, you should see it boot from your SRP target image.

Congratulations on a successful boot from SAN!
