PXE boot
Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) boot is the function that loads the
image of OS or installer through network.
Performs the setting of Boot Order in Emulex PXE BIOS or UEFI menus for
using PXE boot. For the details, see Chapter 8, BIOS settings for PXE boot.
iSCSI
The iSCSI protocol defines the rules and processes for the iSCSI command
send and receive through TCP/IP network while storages communicate with
server blades.
The iSCSI protocol needs to have both initiator and target as a pair. Server
blades need to have the iSCSI initiator to access directly to the iSCSI target
which storages have.
