iPXE supports iSCSI and so do most operating systems - but you never mentioned which OS you are supporting.
This also seems like a duplicate of existing thread about VHD And I would strongly suggest using the search function, both on the forum and internet

Thank's for replying, I've used the search function but i might looked for the wrong therms.
Altought we start with Windows but we aim to do the same with Linux and MacOS if possible.

As I understand it, .vhd boot can only be from a local filesystem. I would instead suggest using iPXE to do an iSCSI boot http://ipxe.org/howto/wds_iscsi
The root path does not have to be provided via DHCP, it can be generated by an iPXE script, or static in an iPXE script.
Cheers
