Installation guide

Booting from the external storage array

Installation and Configuration

Figure 12 Select Fibre Channel Device window

If no entries appear at any target IDs, verify the following:

• If multiple adapters are present, verify the adapter select in the

BIOS Utility is the same that currently provides the I/O path

to the storage (at this point, only one I/O path should be

configured to the boot LUN).

• For VNX series or CLARiiON systems, verify that the single

I/O path points to the SP which owns the boot LUN.

• For FC-SW environments, verify fabric zoning parameters, so

a single I/O path exists to the boot LUN. Refer to array

software documentation for details.

• Check physical FC connectivity between the adapter and

array (direct attach environment) or switch (FC-SW

environment).

9. Select the array port to be used for boot, and press Enter.

If LUNs are allocated to the adapter (using LUN Masking

schemes, such as Access Logix

™

or Volume Logix), they will be

presented at their LUN number.
