EMC Host Connectivity with QLogic Fibre Channel and iSCSI (HBAs) and (CNAs) for the Linux Environment
Configuring a Boot Device on an EMC Storage Array
◆ Booting from the SAN requires the use of a Navisphere
Management station with the Navisphere Manager or NaviCLI
installed. The stations must be separate from the boot server, but
networked to the CLARiiON storage array.
Symmetrix-specific limitations
◆ When attached to a Symmetrix, the physical-to-logical split must
be 1:8 or less (1:7, 1:6, etc.). EMC supports the use of any LUN
from 00 through FF as a boot disk.
◆ Prior to the installation on a Symmetrix LUN, the Linux host
adapter must have successfully logged into the array. Using
Solutions Enabler from another system, assign a minimum of one
LUN to the host.
◆ During the installation procedure, it is recommended, but not
required, that only one LUN be assigned to the host for ease of
use. Once the installation has completed, additional LUNs may
be assigned to the host.
