Hi Andres,

I realized it works when I use DHCP for the two NICs, however it doesn't 
meet our customers need, then I'll wait for the next release.

Thank you so much for your feedback!

>>
>>     Historically, MAAS has used ‘tgt’ to provide images over iSCSI
>>     for the ephemeral environments (e.g commissioning, deployment
>>     environment, rescue mode, etc). MAAS 2.3 will change that
>>     behavior in favor of loading images via HTTP. The change means
>>     that the initrd loaded on PXE will contact the Rack Controller to
>>     download the image to load in the ephemeral environment. Due to
>>     these changes, ‘tgt’ will be dropped as a dependency completely
>>     once 2.3 is final.
>>
>>
>>     MAAS 2.3 Alpha 1 includes this feature behind a feature flag.
>>     While the feature is enabled by default, users experiencing
>>     issues who would want to go back to use 'tgt' can do so by
