Boot ESX from iSCSI target.
We just bought three new Dell R610 servers with Broadcom iSCSI bootable NICs to replace a pair of much older HP DL380 servers. I have a pair of Netgear smart switches (GS748TR) and a pair of ReadyNAS...
This issue was resolved with a Broadcom whitepaper titled: "ESXi 4 1 iSCSI Boot Setup Guide v0 11 DRAFT"
It was an issue with the fact that you cannot boot from NIC Port 1, you have to have NIC Port 1 enabled and connected to the SAN with iSCSI turned off, then enable and connect NIC Port 2 to the SAN as well, and perform the iSCSI boot from NIC Port 2. Sort of a weird super secret handshake, but it works now.
