3.2.2 Configuring the path to the boot LUN

The HBA that the server will be booting from will need to be defined in the bios. At this point the HBA’s WWID has been zoned on the backend storage as the owner of the boot LUN.

•If you are not already in the QLogic BIOS utility, restart the target blade server being configured for remote boot and enter the QLogic BIOS utility using CTRL+Q as described in Section 3.2.1.

•Select Configuration Settings, then Selectable Boot Settings, then set Selectable Boot to Enabled.

•Select primary boot path, press Enter, and the LUN ID should be visible as shown in Figure 20.
