NIC and SAN Boot to Base Is Supported Only on Select PFs
Ethernet (such as software iSCSI remote boot) and PXE boot are currently
supported only on the first Ethernet PF of a physical port. In NPAR Mode
configuration, the first Ethernet PF (that is, not the other Ethernet PFs) supports
Ethernet (such as software iSCSI remote boot) and PXE boot. Not all devices
support FCoE-Offload and iSCSI-Offload.
 When the Virtualization or Multi-Function Mode is set to NPAR,
FCoE-Offload boot is supported on the second PF of a physical port,
iSCSI-Offload boot is supported on the third PF of a physical port, and
Ethernet (such as software iSCSI) and PXE boot are supported on the first
PF of a physical port.
 iSCSI and FCoE boot is limited to a single target per boot session.
 Only one boot mode is allowed per physical port.
 iSCSI-Offload and FCoE-Offload boot is only supported in NPAR mode.
