Booting from the external storage array

Installation and Configuration
IMPORTANT
In some cases, reinserting an internal drive (after having previously
removed it and configured a HBA for boot) may result in the
internal drive being re-enumerated as the first drive, and possibly
modifying the boot order, such that the server will attempt to boot
from the internal drive, rather than the intended array-based LUN.
Ensure that appropriate precautions are taken to make sure the
server will properly boot from an array-based LUN before
reinserting an internal system drive.
