ESXi is a hypervisor that runs directly on a physical server and enables virtualization of multiple virtual machines (VMs) on that server. When booting the ESXi server, there are various options available to choose from to boot the server's hypervisor. Here are the two supported ESXi boot options:
iSCSI: Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) is a network protocol that enables SCSI commands to be sent over an IP network. iSCSI is a popular ESXi boot option that enables booting of the hypervisor from a remote iSCSI target device. This method is used in environments where remote storage devices are used to store VMs.
SAN: Storage Area Network (SAN) is a high-speed network that enables storage devices to be connected to servers, allowing access to remote storage devices. In an ESXi environment, SAN is used as a boot option to boot the hypervisor from remote storage devices.
The other options listed in the question are also related to storage, but not supported ESXi boot options:
NFS: Network File System (NFS) is a file sharing protocol that enables file sharing between networked computers. NFS is commonly used in virtualization environments to store virtual machine files.
vSAN: VMware Virtual SAN (vSAN) is a software-defined storage solution that enables storage devices to be pooled and presented as a single storage entity. vSAN is used as a storage option for storing VMs in an ESXi environment.
vSphere Virtual Volumes: vSphere Virtual Volumes (VVols) is a storage virtualization technology that enables individual VMs to be stored and managed as separate entities. VVols is used to simplify storage management in virtualized environments.
In summary, the two supported ESXi boot options are iSCSI and SAN, while the other options listed are related to storage but not supported ESXi boot options.
