Applying FC SAN boot attributes on a collection
About this task
To apply SAN boot attributes on a collection, perform the following steps:
Steps
1. Click Browse to navigate to the location where you have saved the CSV file that you created in a CSV
editor. This profile is applied during the hardware configuration process. For more information on
creating CSV files, see Creating a CSV file.
2. After you select a CSV file, the FC SAN boot attribute values are applied to the servers and adapter
ports.
NOTE:
The FC SAN boot attribute values are applied to the target servers and adapter ports that are
specified in the CSV file.
If a target server is not specified in the CSV file, a warning message is prompted.
If an additional server is added to the CSV file that is not present in the collection, a warning
message is prompted and the added server is not configured.
3. Click Next to apply the FC SAN boot attribute values.
NOTE:
After the Hardware configuration task is complete, you can check manually whether the FC
SAN boot attribute settings are applied to a server.
If you select a server to boot from a SAN device, skip the operating system installation.
Next steps
While applying FC HBA configuration settings and SAN boot attributes, the status and progress of
