Windows 2000/2003 external boot disk installation

This section is a step-by-step procedure for installing Windows

2000/2003 operating system on an external boot device.

After you have your adapter(s) installed in your server and

configured for external boot the next step is to install the Windows

operating system. If you intend to boot to an external device, refer to

““Updating the flash firmware/BIOS” on page 30 and “Emulex

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

on page 38 for setting the boot BIOS for external boot and selecting

the external boot LUN. If your system is EFI based, refer to the

section on creating an EFI RAMDISK: “Installing a RAMDISK under

the EFI shell” on page 78. Also refer to your server's documentation

for preparing your server for external boot.

Note: If you intend to boot to an external disk, present only the LUN from

which you intend to boot. All additional LUNs can be added after the

installation. This will eliminate confusion on selecting the correct partition

for installation and eliminates any problems that the operating system could

encounter on reboot during the installation. Also confirm there is only one

path to the storage array. Having more that one path can cause the operating

system to fail during the installation.

To install Windows, you need the following materials:

◆ A Windows CD-ROM for the Windows version you wish to

install.

◆ A USB drive with the files required for installation. Refer to

“Preparing the USB drive” on page 63 for more information.

◆ A floppy disk containing your EMC-approved adapter.
