Broadcom NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet adapters support iSCSI boot to enable network boot of operating systems to
diskless systems. The iSCSI boot allows a Windows or Linux operating system boot from an iSCSI target machine located
remotely over a standard IP network.
For Windows operating systems, iSCSI boot can be configured to boot with two distinctive paths: non-offload (also known
as Microsoft initiator) and offload (Broadcom’s offload iSCSI driver or HBA). Configuration of the path is set with the
Windows HBA Boot Mode
option located on the
General Parameters
screen of the iSCSI Configuration utility. See
for more information on all
General Parameters
screen configuration options.
