The Nutanix Unified Storage Administration (NUSA) course, in the module “Configuring Volume Groups for External Clients,” highlights that when configuring iSCSI boot for external (bare-metal) clients, the“Use DHCP for iSCSI Target Information”option must be enabled. This allows the iSCSI boot firmware (iBFT) to automatically discover the iSCSI target (Volume Group) using DHCP-provided parameters.
The course documentation states:
“Enabling ‘Use DHCP for iSCSI Target Information’ is essential for booting external clients from Nutanix Volumes using iSCSI. DHCP provides the iSCSI target IP and other relevant data for a successful boot.”
