iSCSI Deployment

Note

iSCSI Deployment feature is not supported from HPC Pack 2016 on.

You can deploy iSCSI boot nodes on your HPC cluster. iSCSI boot nodes are compute nodes that boot the operating system over the network, by using an iSCSI connection. iSCSI boot nodes do not require a local hard disk drive to serve as a system disk, and instead use the storage resources on a network-attached storage array. By having iSCSI boot nodes, you can centralize the storage of your HPC cluster.

Important

iSCSI Deployment is supported in HPC Pack 2008 R2, HPC Pack 2012 with Service Pack 1, and HPC Pack 2012 R2.

Note

This section outlines the tasks for deploying iSCSI boot nodes on your HPC cluster. For detailed information and step-by-step procedures for deploying iSCSI boot nodes, see the Deploying iSCSI Boot Nodes Step-by-Step Guide.
