When the rack-servers are configured in a standalone mode, and when the VIC adapters are directly attached
to the Nexus 5000 family of switches, you can configure these VIC adapters to boot the servers remotely from
iSCSI storage targets. You can configure Ethernet vNICs to enable a rack server to load the host OS image
from remote iSCSI target devices.
