Citrix Provisioning Services: Target Devices Startup Process from a Provisioning services image

When a target device starts up from a Provisioning services image, it generally follows this process:

1. DHCP or a boot device manager assigns the target device an IP address.
2. The target device obtains a bootstrap file from the network or from a boot device manager.
3. The target device connects to the Stream Service running on a Provisioning services host.
4. The Provisioning services host begins streaming the vDisk image to the target device.
5. The target device requests new vDisk image sectors as necessary to access data.
