Bug Description
SAN Boot set up with Intel X520 could not be configured using Ubuntu 14.04.02. Lun is recognized by the BIOS, it is not recognized by the OS during SAN Boot installation. To the contrary, local boot is getting configured without any problem I the same setup.
Here is the details of troubleshooting done in the lab so far:
· Enabled & Configured Integrated Flash for iSCSI Boot (Intel iSCSI Remote Boot v3.0.57).
· Configured iSCSI target in storage and allocated 100GB LUN.
· Using Intel iSCSI boot Initialization tool, configured boot LUN so that allocated LUN is visible from both paths.
· After configuration of adapter, switch and target - the iSCSI boot initialization process could discover the iSCSI LUN (100GB).
· Mounted Ubuntu-server 14.04.2 LTS OS in the virtual DVD drive of the server, OS installation was started from the mounted media.
· While detecting the disk option, server failed to detect any iSCSI disk drive.
· Tried to install Ubuntu-server 14.04.3 LTS OS as well, but same problem was observed.
· Tried to install RHEL 5U10, but again the same problem. During detecting the disk, server fails to detect any iSCSI hard drive.
· Tried to install VMWARE ESXI 5.5.0, this time the installation has been successful. This was done by following the SAN Boot installation process written in this link of Intel http://
· No such SAN Boot installation process could be located for Ubuntu or RHEL.
· VMWare ESXi 5.5.0 SAN Boot installation process did not work for Ubuntu or RHEL

Also observed this issue when using FCoE configuration on Intel X520. I can install to and boot from the FCoE LUN with ESX, but the installer on Ubuntu 14.04.1 does not detect the LUN, only internal disks and arrays on my LSI RAID controller.
