4 Deployment and Migration of Boot from SAN Configuration using Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise version
3.3.1
Executive summary
Configuring the newly added servers for a boot from SAN operation is often a repetitive and a time-consuming
process in a data center.
Using Dell OpenManage Enterprise, the newly added systems can be configured easily to operate in a
specific SAN protocol.
Dell OpenManage Enterprise optimizes this process for the following scenarios:
1. Configuration of servers to support Boot from SAN using iSCSI, FCoE or FC protocols.
2. Migration of workloads amongst identical servers in case of failures.
In this whitepaper, we describe the configuration of boot from SAN on a target server for the iSCSI and FC
protocols using OpenManage Enterprise.
