Is this correct ? Our iSCSI HBAs are viewed within the OS as HBAs, not NICs. They require BIOS setup for mapping to targets, and are managed by vendor-provided utilities. The host sees a SCSI device bus. > If this is the case I am assuming I still use the open iscsi initiator tools to manage things ? No experience with Broadcom, but they will be managed by vendor-provided drivers and utilities as well as settings in the BIOS in order to enable login to targets prior to OS load.
