Configuring a Boot Device on an EMC Storage Array
◆ SCSI hard disks are allowed in SAN boot configurations.
However, the BIOS for the disk's SCSI adapters must be disabled.
Any SCSI disks attached to the host should be disconnected
during the operating system installation.
◆ For servers with SCSI CD-ROM drives, ensure that the BIOS is
enabled on the SCSI channel that includes the CD-ROM. Disable
the BIOS on any other integrated SCSI channels.
◆ For servers with IDE CD-ROM drivers, disable the BIOS on the
server's integrated SCSI adapter(s). The SCSI BIOS is not
required to boot from the CD-ROM.
◆ Disable the BIOS on any other HBAs in the system other than the
QLogic HBA designated for booting.
Configuring the QLogic BIOS for SAN boot
After After the BIOS is installed and enabled, it must be configured
for use for booting from the SAN. The following procedure describes
how to configure the BIOS.
1. Connect the CLARiiON SP fibre channel port to the adapter in the
lowest-numbered PCI slot in the server.
2. Boot the server, and press CTRL-Q when the QLogic banner is
displayed.
Note: Different HBA models may display different banners. Be sure to
press CTRL-Q for the HBA to be configured.
The banner display corresponds to the BIOS revision pertinent to
the HBAs currently installed. Refer to the EMC Support Support
for specific HBAs and BIOS revisions.
3. After Fast!UTIL loads, the display depends on whether there are
multiple QLogic HBAs installed:
• If there is only one QLogic HBA, the Fast!UTIL Options menu
appears.
