iSCSI booting, wireless and windows target? #549

Open professor-farnsworth opened 5 years ago

professor-farnsworth commented 5 years ago

Hello All,

I'm using the latest build, berryboot-20181211-pi2-pi3 on my pi 3 (not plus)

I have a few issues... first off is wireless supported with iscsi? I ask because I have my berryboot using an iscsi target on my synology and the wireless worked fine when I selected the synology and installed "Raspbian Lite 2018.11". Upon rebooting, it gets to the boot menu and sits endlessly at the "Waiting for network to be ready" screen. If I plugin the wired ethernet, then it works.

My second issue is using a windows iscsi target server. When I connect to the iscsi server, it sometimes works. It usually takes longer for it to get through the partitioning and formatting phase. Sometimes that bombs with an error about writing the shared.tgz file.

If I make past that to the OS selection screen, picking anything results in: Error downloading file from the Internet: Error opening the output file.

It seems like it has an issue with using/writing to a windows iscsi target server. Are there any logs or anything I can do to help debug this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

i think iscsi over wifi is not supported yet - because it would need to get the wifi configuration from somewhere during boot (and before accessing the iSCSI target.

@maxnet still - i am no expert on this, but this should be possible: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=31738 - AND it would be really great to have. do you see any chance for this feature to be implemented anytime?

Negative Our current implementation requires 100% network uptime (does not reconnect if connection breaks).

Wifi gives anything but 100% uptime.

meh :( too bad. but thanks for the fast response!

Thanks for the response @maxnet, that's a shame but understandable. Any ideas on windows server iscsi targets? Curious if that's something I missed in setting things up.

No, idea. Currently do not have any Windows iSCSI software.
