Configuring an EMC Boot Device

If there are multiple QLogic HBAs, a list of addresses occupies by those HBAs appears. Use the arrow keys to select the desired HBA; then press ENTER. The Fast!UTIL Options menu appears.

3.Select Configuration Settings from the menu.

4.Select Selectable Boot Settings from the Configuration Settings menu.

The first Boot Port Name entry should already be configured (as described under Configuring the HBA Boot BIOS on page 3-23).

If you want another SP port to be accessible as a potential boot path to the current owner SP, select the next Boot Port Name entry, and in the Device window select the CLARiiON port WWN from which you want to boot.

5.If you have other HBAs for which you want to assign Boot Port Name entries, you can press ESC to go back to the main menu, save changes, and select another HBA as shown in step 2. If the other HBA you wish to configure has its own CTRL-QBIOS prompt, reboot the server and configure that HBA's Boot Port Name entries as you have done here.

6.Trespass the LUN and repeat steps 1 through 5 to configure any paths over which you want to be able to boot the LUN from the other SP.

To trespass the LUN, follow the instructions in the EMC ControlCenter Navisphere Management software documentation for your array type. The process depends on the failover software installed:

With PowerPath configurations, this can usually be done from the EMC ControlCenter Navisphere Management software GUI by right-clicking the desired LUN and selecting trespass. Confirm in the LUN properties that the LUN has trespassed before you return to configure the remaining Boot Port Name entries.

With ATF configurations:

With FC-series array core code 8.45.x, this can usually be done from the EMC ControlCenter Navisphere Management software GUI by right-clicking on the desired LUN and selecting trespass. Confirm in the LUN properties that the LUN has trespassed before you return to configure the remaining Boot Port Name entries.
