iSCSI Boot Firmware Table Test
Note This content applies to the Windows Logo Kit (WLK). For the latest information using the new Windows Hardware Certification Kit (HCK), see Windows HCK User's Guide on the Windows Hardware Dev Center.
Overview
The iSCSI Boot Firmware Table (iBFT) is a block of information residing in memory that contains different entries that are required by the iSCSI Boot process.
iSCSI Boot Firmware Table test (iBFTest) verifies the presence of iBFT on the system. It also ensures that the various entries of the table are compliant with the iBFT specification.
Details
iSCSI Boot Firmware Table test (iBFTest) consists of two binaries. A user-mode binary (ibftestwrap.exe) and a kernel-mode binary (ibftest.sys). Both binaries are required for the test to run successfully.
ibftestwrap.exe loads ibftest.sys into kernel mode.
ibftest.sys checks if iBFT exists in memory.
If iBFT exists in memory, ibftest.sys will get a copy of the table.
ibftest.sys validates the table and returns results to ibftestwrap.exe.
ibftestwrap.exe in turn provides a friendly log.
The log contains either the table if it is available and valid or a detailed error information if the table is unavailable or invalid.
iBFTest ensures that the iBFT is present and available to the operating system for a consistent flow of the boot process. It also validates the various entries within the table and ensures that the table is intact. It ensures that all the information is compliant with the specification.
