I'm having an issue with a Windows 7 SP1 (x86) installation that I installed directly to an iSCSI target. The system has three NICs in it but it appears that Windows has developed an unhealthy attachment to the one it used during install. gPXE/Etherboot will use any of the cards to boot up, but once Windows gets to the part where it should take over the system just reboots. The system works fine otherwise, but this prevents me from teaming/bonding the cards, replacing a bad card, or setting up any kind of fault tolerance. On a related note, what is the recommended way to get more bandwidth to the iSCSI target using gPXE and Windows 7? MPIO and MCS appear to be disabled and/or unsupported. Any advice you can offer is greatly appreciated. Thanks, David Woodward |
