Yes, as *any* iSCSI target. As boot has no additional requirements compared to standard I/O operations. Any iSCSI target vendor promoting his target as "iSCSI boot capable" is a cheater. As it's like telling "our cars are the best b/c they have 4 wheels and one engine". Well, 99.{9}% of them are the same :))

Hey.

Do you have any guides or POCs for SAN Booting IBM Bladecenters with the QMC4052 ?

I'm having a bit of trouble getting the controller to list LUNs and devices.

Hi,

We have no information about interoperability of QMC4052 with StarWind for the moment.

Please send your StarWind Service's log file for an iSCSI session from a QMC4052 adapter to my email.
Also it would be very helpful for us to analyze an Ethereal log file for the same iSCSI session.

If you provide us with the log files we will be able to find the problem and fix it.

Thank you.
Best regards,
Valeriy
