Re: Does the TARGET server need to be running a 64 bit OS if the initiator wants to run a 64 bit OS?

The math is correct; I'm playing with a 50 Gb OS image because  I have several applications that I want to test running on a thin client.

I am using a very simple network; I have the initiator and the target linked together via Ethernet cable. The Linux target is running a dhcp server and iscsitarget.

For boot, I am running gpxe 1.0.1 DVD on the initiator; the boot commands I am running are:
  dhcp net0
  set keep-san 1
  sanboot ${root-path}

>From the Target server, the config is:

#################### Dhcpd.conf ###########################

option gpxe-encap-opts code 175 = encapsulate gpxe;

Any ideas of where the problem is?

Thank you for your help on this,

Well, how did you come up with the math for bs/count in your dd cmd? How big is your original disc?
What's your target config look like? How are presenting the image to the initiator?

Any reason why you don't just install directly to the target?
