[gPXE] [Etherboot-discuss] iSCSI Login/Password on root-path

[Andrew Bobulsky]

Hello Thiago,

 

I believe that you can set iSCSI username and password info via DHCP using encapsulated options.

 

A quick reference to many of them and how they’re defined in dhcpd is located here: http://etherboot.org/wiki/dhcpd

 

I think the options you want to set are the “username” and “password” strings, perhaps like:

 

host teste {

hardware ethernet 00:0c:29:98:12:ca;

option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;

fixed-address 192.168.2.33;

option root-path "iscsi:192.168.2.2::::iqn.2009-6.com.dkxja:storage01.disk1";

option username “myusername”;

option password “mypassword”;

}

 

I could be wrong about that, as I’ve used dhcpd very little, and iscsi credentials even less, but from what I recall that should be doable, even if my information is a little off!

 

Best of luck to you.

 

Cheers,

Andrew Bobulsky

Hi there,

 

I could successfully boot with gPXE on my iscsi storage perfectly. But when I set the username/password option on iscsi, I get an "access denied" error on boot.

 

Is there any way to add the user/pass information on the dhcp server? Here is how my conf is:

 

host teste {

hardware ethernet 00:0c:29:98:12:ca;

option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;

fixed-address 192.168.2.33;

option root-path "iscsi:192.168.2.2::::iqn.2009-6.com.dkxja:storage01.disk1";

}

 


Thanks for your help!
