initramfs-tools from debian depends on iscsistart, where upstream open-iscsi recommends to start the iscsid daemon and use the iscsiadm command. I didn't understand where networking was started, so I created an /etc/initramfs/iscsi /bin/sh script that does an "dhclient enp0s31f0" and runs iscsistart with all the parameters.

Maybe using IPXE and GRUB2 should not use iSCSI for loading the kernel, instead, use HTTP to pull the first stage and then switch to ISCSI as root.
 
Maybe the Ubuntu initramfs should set iscsistart parameters to disable noop values? Or may this is not a problem anymore after iscsi is only use after the boot.

Then I don't have to rely on initramfs scripts other than for those commands, the iscsi boot continues, because the kernel has an IP address and the root device is now mounted.

Disks may have partitions or raw. Partion tables can be the newer GPT UEFI style, or the old MBR masterbootrecord BIOS style, limited to 4 partitions and one can be extended to house more partions, one can be 'active' which windows can boot from.

NOP-IN

The initiator doesn't boot IPXE, GRUB2, iSCSI because on the initiator (client) can't read from the iscsi target (server)

block device blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 77769088 op 0x0:(READ) flasg 0x3000 phys_seg 1 prio class 0

On the target the error message is

Did not receive response to NOPIN on CID: 0, failing connection for I_T Nexus

This requires NOP-in to be disabled, but the StackOver flow article and the IPXE page it refers to state to disable time out using lio_node, but that command doesn't exist in the implementation of iscsi, I use and the iscsi-linux.org page doesn't exist anymore. open-iscsi on github has a readme that spells out the NOP-in disabling
