Configuring the Emulex boot BIOS for SAN boot

After the boot BIOS is installed and enabled, it must be configured for

use for booting from the SAN. The following procedure describes

how to configure the boot BIOS:

1. Connect the Symmetrix Fibre Channel port to the adapter in the

lowest-numbered PCI slot in the server. For example, if there are

three adapters in the system in slots 2, 4, and 5, connect the cable

to the adapter in slot 2. Do not connect cables to the other

adapters at this time.

2. Boot the server, and press ALT-E when the Emulex banner

appears.

3. The first screen of the BIOS setup utility contains a list of all the

adapters with the boot BIOS installed. Select Option 1 from the

list, and press ENTER.

4. On the next screen, select Option 2 - Configure This Adapter's

Parameters, and press ENTER.

5. Select Option 4 - Topology and press ENTER.

6. Select Option 1 - Auto Topology: Loop First (default) and press

ENTER.

7. Press ESC to return to the Parameters menu.

Select Option 1 - Enable/Disable Boot BIOS, and press ENTER.

8. If the BIOS is listed as Disabled, select 1 to enable it, and press

ENTER.

9. Press ESC to return to the Parameters menu.

10. Press ESC twice to return to the list of installed adapters.

Note: It is recommended, but not required, that the boot BIOS be

disabled on the other adapters in the system.

11. From the adapter list, select 1 for the adapter to be used for boot,

and press ENTER.

12. From the Options menu, select Option 1 - Configure Boot

Devices, and press ENTER.
