[gPXE] Why disk not appear in the disk management tool?

Hi,

 

I'm using Microsoft iSCSI initiator, yes, I can see a disk driver in device manager, but I really can't see it in disk management.

I've also tested a few types of iSCSI target, but the problem persist.

Here are several conditions:

1, Only one iSCSI SAN disk boot, I can't see a disk in diskmangement.

2, Two disks (one is iSCSI disk, one is ATA local attached), If iSCSI can't boot (without bootloader), the system will boot from local disk, I can see the iSCSI disk in disk management (shown as disk1), but I can't see the local disk in disk management.   

3, Two iSCSI disks, I can see the second one (disk1) in disk management, but I can see the two in device management.

 

Additionally, I installed sanbootconf.

It seems that the GPXE will cause computer's first disk disappear?

 

Best Regards,

Aldrich
