Mellanox FlexBoot User Manual

2022-05-12
● Mellanox FlexBoot is a multiprotocol remote boot technology. FlexBoot supports remote Boot over InfiniBand (BoIB) and over Ethernet.
● Using Mellanox Virtual Protocol Interconnect (VPI) technologies available in ConnectX® adapters, FlexBoot gives IT Managers’ the choice to boot from a remote storage target (iSCSI target) or a LAN target (Ethernet Remote Boot Server) using a single ROM image on Mellanox Con nectX products.
● FlexBoot first initializes the adapter device, senses the port protocol – Ethernet or InfiniBand, and brings up the port. Then it connects to a DHCP server to obtain its assigned IP address and network parameters, and also to obtain the source location of the kernel/OS to boot from. The DHCP server instructs FlexBoot to access the kernel/OS through a TFTP server, an iSCSI target, or some other service.
