Note:
1. With the OS installed on the local disk, we can discover the iSCSI volumes without any issues, however the ubuntu installer doesn't detect the volumes.
2. refer install_steps, for complete steps.
3. install folder contains the installation logs.
== Comment: #8 - Guilherme Guaglianoni Piccoli <email address hidden> - 2016-02-02 10:37:44 ==
This issue happens because Ubuntu installer creates a random initiatorName and does not allow user to change it - it does not even show the initiatorName to user. As a result, the Initiator (Ubuntu Installer) can't communicate with Target (the iSCSI server).
Talking to cyphermox at #Ubuntu-powerpc IRC channel, we discussed about the possibility of the Installer shows a dialog that allows user to choose the initiatorName manually before trying to connect to Target. Seems a good approach that would solve this issue.
Mirroring to LaunchPad.
Cheers,
Guilherme
