Abstract

As large deployments become more common, our industry needs a standardized, multi-vendor solution to boot computer systems from OS images stored on NVMe® devices across a network. The newly published NVM Express® Boot Specification and ecosystem partnership with UEFI and ACPI enables this by leveraging the NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF™) standard. This talk is a dive into the details of the new specification and the design of an open-source prototype for booting over NVMe/TCP transport using a UEFI implementation.

Learning Objectives

  • Introduce the NVM Express(r) Boot Specification
  • Explain the ecosystem partnerships which leverage the NVME-oF(tm) standard
  • Provide a deep dive into the specification and the design of an open-source prototype for booting over NVMe/TCP transport using a UEFI implementation.
