Sorry for late reply. I was on vacation. Unfortunately specifying the iscsi setup in the <iscsi-client> section of a autoyast profile currently does not work. Autoyast would need to have code to do iscsi-client setup before trying to apply <partitioning> section and such code is currently simply not there. But it should not be too much work to add that, so I keep this in mind and most probably will add that for next release (openSuSE 13.2 and/or SLE12). If the iscsi setup is done via iBFT on the other hand, it should work. In this case you should not need a <iscsi-client> section on autoyast profile at all since the iscsi disk is integrated into the system via Network card BIOS and should be available to autoyast like a physical disk. Could you provide me with the content of /var/log/YaST2 of such an installation attempt, so that I can check what is wrong. Unfortunatly I do not have a iBFT capable newtork card in one of my test systems.
