				Configuring an EMC Boot Device
Installing Additional	The EMC ControlCenter Navisphere Host Agent should be used to
Navisphere Host	automatically register host connections with the array. PowerPath
Agent Software	and ATF require different registration types and the Navisphere Host
	Agent is the preferred method over manual registrations.
	You should install the Navisphere Host Agent software to ensure the
	HBA connections are all registered correctly. For instructions on how
	to perform this operation refer to the EMC ControlCenter Navisphere
	Host Agent software documentation for your array type.
	After the host agent has started and registered the new HBA paths,
	you should refresh the host connections in the storage group to
	ensure all available paths are assigned. To do this:
	1. Shut down the host.
	2. Remove the host from the storage group.
	3.		Apply the change.
	4. Add the host back into the storage group.
	5.		Restart the host.
	6. Check the array connectivity status to ensure all connections you
			require are active.

Additional Boot Port	BIOS, you must configure additional Boot Port Name entries in the
Name Entries in the	BIOS for any additional SP ports from which you want the BIOS to
