Hi, Chris.
Could you help take a look at this patch? Please feel free to point out if there is somewhere incorrect.
--- iSCSI adapter (also known as iSCSI HBA or iSCSI NIC) Provides storage area network (SAN) connectivity over TCP/IP and Ethernet network infrastructure, and offloads the iSCSI and TCP/IP processing to the adapter to speed performance.
iSCSI boot from iBFT(iSCSI boot from table) The iSCSI Boot Firmware Table (iBFT) is a component of the ACPI 3.0b standard that provides operating systems a standard way to boot from software-initiated iSCSI protocol.
Software iSCSI Use software initiator to connect SAN server.
For iSCSI adapter, all of iSCSI diskes can be brought up by itself, without any extra OS's work. It is independent of OS. This type of iSCSI uses hardware initiator to connect SAN server.
For iSCSI boot from iBFT, iSCSI seesion configuration will be loaded from firmware firstly, then software iSCSI initiator is used to connect SAN server.
