Troubleshooting iSCSI limitations
General limitations iSCSI VLANs cannot be added, edited, or removed for an iSCSI-booted device.
The CNU requires a system reboot for iSCSI device configurations of an iSCSI-booted adapter.
Windows operating systems
Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator version 2.0 or later must be installed on your system.
Linux operating systems iSCSI initiator utilities and SG utilities need to be present.
