ABSTRACT:
A Pre-boot Execution Environment (PXE) boot extension is loaded upon system boot and is operable to store an iSCSI boot disk identifier identifying a remote disk drive to a shared memory location. As an operating system is loaded via iSCSI over a network connection to a remote disk, an operating system iSCSI driver is loaded. The operating system iSCSI driver reads the boot disk identifier stored in the shared memory location and uses the boot disk identifier to configure the operating system.
