Dynamic iSCSI Boot Configuration
In a dynamic configuration, you only need to specify that the system’s IP address and target/initiator information are provided
by a DHCP server (see IPv4 and IPv6 configurations in Configuring the DHCP Server to Support iSCSI Boot). For IPv4, with
the exception of the initiator iSCSI name, any settings on the Initiator Parameters, 1st Target Parameters, or 2nd Target
Parameters screens are ignored and do not need to be cleared. For IPv6, with the exception of the CHAP ID and Secret,
any settings on the Initiator Parameters, 1st Target Parameters, or 2nd Target Parameters screens are ignored and do not
need to be cleared. For information on configuration options, see Table 1.
