b. Note any entries starting with blk (block-level devices, such as
volumes) which reference a Fibre interface (as shown in
Figure 34). The entry should list the array port WWN and
LUN address specified in the configuration utility. Figure 34
shows entry blkD as the array-port WWN and LUN specified
during configuration. This is the EFI entry that specifies the
specific array LUN to use for boot.
Note: The example shown in Figure 34 also shows BlkC as Lun0.
This is a Symmetrix-based, read-only Volume Logix Database device
used for LUN masking and cannot be used for boot, even though it is
still detected by the QLogic EFI driver and is reported as visible.
At this point, the OS Installation can begin using this LUN as the boot
volume.
