Using the HPC Server with Broadcom Ethernet NICs

When setting up systems equipped with Broadcom Ethernet NICs to be used as HPC base or compute nodes with iSCSI storage, you might find that the Broadcom card does not accept the IQN string set for it by the HPC server. This failure will cause login failures when the node attempts to boot from its iSCSI volume, because the HPC head node configures the iSCSI boot volumes with IQN-based ACLs.

To resolve this issue, change the BIOS setting on the Broadcom card and use a template string in the HPC settings when you configure the node template, as shown in the following procedure:

  1. Start the HPC iSCSI Settings App from the Start Menu, click Start → All Programs → EqualLogic → HPC iSCSI Provider Settings.
  2. Click Create new volumes with open ACLs.
    This option allows any initiator to log in to the volume.
