Installation and Configuration

Emulex LightPulse-based Fibre Channel adapter BIOS/boot LUN settings

This section describes the steps required to configure an Emulex

adapter boot BIOS for allowing an array-attached LUN to be used as

a boot disk for the server and includes information for the following:

◆ “Legacy (x86 and most x64-based sServers) boot BIOS

configuration” on page 39

◆ “Updating adapter firmware from Emulex EFI-BIOS utility” on

page 47

◆ “Booting from SAN with HP Itanium servers with EMC storage”

on page 63

This section assumes that the following steps are already completed:

◆ In direct-attach configurations, an adapter has a physical

connection to the array port.

◆ In fabric-attach configurations, an adapter has a physical

connection to the switch/fabric, and is zoned to the array, such

that a single adapter to be used for boot has one logical I/O path

to the array. Refer to your switch documentation for details.

◆ The Emulex adapter is configured to allow boot BIOS

functionality. Refer to “Updating the flash firmware/BIOS” on

page 30, which references the LP6DUTIL utility used to enable

boot BIOS functionality.

Before configuring adapter settings to boot from an array-based

LUN, your server's settings should be adjusted to disable booting

from an internal system drive. The procedure for disabling boot from

an internal system drive is largely dependent upon the server

platform:

◆ In some instances, internal boot can be disabled via entering the

onboard SCSI/RAID controller's BIOS utility. For example, an

Adaptec-based controller can be configured by pressing Ctrl-A,

when the Adaptec banner is displayed during power-on self test.

◆ Some servers require entering the system BIOS utility to either

disable boot from an internal drive, or to change the controller

boot order, such that the boot adapter is enumerated before the

internal disk controller. This allows the array-attached LUN to be

the first disk visible to the server. Refer to your server

documentation for details.
