====== Windows Server 2008 boot from SAN ====== Windows Server 2008 supports booting from either an iSCSI or AoE SAN. You cannot install directly to the SAN target; you must first install Windows Server 2008 to a physical disk. ===== Installation ===== Start by installing Windows Server 2008 to a physical disk. It is best to use an external USB, FireWire, or eSATA disk; this will make later stages easier. When installing, use a small partition (around 8GB) rather than the whole disk. At the partitioning screen: {{screenshots:win2k8_setup.png?360x198|Windows Server 2008 setup}} press **C** to create a partition and enter **8192** as the size (in MB). You should then see a screen that looks like: {{screenshots:win2k8_setup_partitioned.png?360x198|Windows Server 2008 after partitioning}} You can now press Enter to install Windows Server 2008 to this partition. The rest of the installation will proceed as normal. ===== Preparation for SAN boot ===== Now you must select whether you will use iSCSI or AoE as your SAN technology: * [[sanboot:winnt_iscsi|Add iSCSI boot support to Windows Server 2008]] * [[sanboot:winnt_aoe|Add AoE boot support to Windows Server 2008]]
