Query: HPE Synergy servers booting from ISCSI

[daliborazure]

Hi

I just configured HPE synergy server to boot from iSCSI LUN from DELL and it is working good even have secondary path configured

However when ESXi boots up it takes IP address of iSCSI initiator and puts it as management IP and that first NIC configured is used to boot from LUN

Is this normal behaviour on Synergy Servers

this is exactly the document I followed and it is working all good but it is tied to management network

My question is is this normal behaviour that it requires management network NIc to boot from esxi

Hello,

This seems to be as expected.

Do all servers exhibit the same behaviour?

Thanks.
