3.1.2 Matrix Server Upgrade Guide

Appendix B: Install the SLES9 Operating System and Kernel 75

SAN Boot Disk

With certain storage arrays, the boot disk can be on the SAN. In this case,

the HBA driver must be loaded with the kernel so that the boot disk can

be located. (You may need to take steps to ensure that the correct HBA

driver is loaded. See the vendor documentation for more information.)

You will need to use non-fabric fencing with this configuration.

Install Other HBA Drivers

If your configuration requires either an HBA driver version that is

provided with Matrix Server but is not the default, or an HBA driver

version that is not provided with Matrix Server, you can install that

version after Matrix Server is installed on the server. (The installation

procedure in Chapter 2 specifies when to install the driver.)
