1.Setup PXE boot and DHCP server. To setup a Microsoft Windows server as a DHCP and a OXE boot server, the following Windows services must be configured:
DHCP services
Remote installation services (RIS)
Windows deployment server (WDS)
For detailed instructions about setting up a PXE boot server and a DHCP server, refer to the Microsoft documentation at http://technet.microsoft.com/.
The current versions of Microsoft Windows do not include the QLogic 8100 Series Adapter drivers.
2.A successful PXE boot requires that the Microsoft Windows image that resides on the PXE boot server contains the latest QLogic 8100 Series Adapter drivers.
If you are installing Microsoft Windows using PXE boot on the client server local hard drive, the PXE boot server operating system image must contain the QLogic adapter NIC driver.
If you are installing the PXE boot server operating system image onto the SAN device, operating system image must contain both the QLogic adapter NIC driver and FCoE driver.
For information about adding QLogic drivers to an operating system image for RIS installations, refer to Microsoft article ID
