Boot Commands
EnableBootCode
This command is used to perform either of the following:

Enable or disable network boot for NIC ports. If network boot is being enabled,
it is necessary to select the specific network boot type. The supported network
boot types are PXE and iBFT. Note that iBFT is not supported on all NIC
adapter types.

Enable/disable the boot code for an FC adapter port. If the boot code is disabled
on the FC adapter, the adapter does not boot from the SAN, regardless of the
value for the EnableBootFromSan boot parameter. If the boot code is enabled on
the FC adapter, the adapter boots from the SAN if the EnableBootFromSan
parameter is also enabled.
Note: To enable or disable boot on an iSCSI target, see the “SetiSCSIBoot” command.
