21 Deployment and Migration of Boot from SAN Configuration using Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise version
3.3.1
Follow the below mentioned steps to configure the FC Boot parameters of the base system:
1. Enable the Set Boot from SAN on all the FC ports.
Note: The storage target WWPN is entered, and the Fiber devices are scanned manually. However, this section
will be later automated by OpenManage Enterprise in deployment process.
2. Once the FC Target parameters are provided, the base system is now available for connection with the
Storage Target LUN. However, this configuration uses the physical identities hardwired to the FC card, the
data is prone to loss in case of failure.
OpenManage Enterprise uses ‘stateless’ computing to assign virtual identities for each FC Ports and
ensures no identities are tied to the base system server
