Chapter XVIII. Unified Boot

Chelsio T5/T4 Unified Wire For Linux Page 340

1. Introduction

PXE is short for Preboot eXecution Environment and is used for booting computers over an

ethernet network using a Network Interface Card (NIC).

FCoE SAN boot process involves installation of an operating system to an FC/FCoE

disk and then booting from it.

iSCSI SAN boot process involves installation of an operating system to an iSCSI disk

and then booting from it.

This section of the guide explains how to configure and use Chelsio Unified Boot Option

ROM which flashes PXE and FCoE Option ROM onto Chelsio’s converged network adapters

(CNAs). It adds functionality like Network/FCoE SAN boot/ iSCSI SAN boot.

This section also describes the use and configuration of Chelsio’s DUD for OS installations

via PXE server or on FC/FCoE LUN and iSCSI LUN. This solution can be used for installing

operating systems over an ethernet network/SAN using Chelsio’s Converged Network Adapters

(CNAs). The Chelsio Unified Option ROM resides on the flash memory of the adapter from

where it is loaded by an x86 system BIOS during power on initialization.
