Bios, Operands Query | Brocade Communications Systems 804 manual

bios B

bios

Enables the basic input/output system (BIOS) in preparation for Boot Over SAN. The BIOS is the firmware code that, when first powered on, is a type of boot loader.

NOTE

Refer to the Brocade Adapters Installation and Reference Manual for more information about configuring BIOS.

Synopsis bcu bios --query <port_id>

bcu bios --enable<port_id> [-s speed] [-o autoflashfirstlun] [-p pos] {-b pwwn,lun}*

bcu bios --disable<port_id>

Description You must enable BIOS to support boot over SAN for a port. If disabled, the host system cannot boot from Fibre Channel disk drives. BIOS must be enabled on only one adapter port per host in order to boot from SAN. The default setting for the boot BIOS is enabled.

The port ID can be any of the following:

•Adapter ID

•Port ID

•Port WWN

•Port name

•Port hardware path

Operands	--query	Queries the boot-over-SAN configuration.
	port_id	Specifies the ID of the port for which you want to display information.
	--enable	Enables the boot over SAN configuration.
	port_id	Specifies the ID of the port for which you want to set the port’s boot from SAN
		attributes.
	s speed	Specifies the port speed as auto-negotiate.

oautoflashfirstlun

	Specifies the following options for obtaining boot LUN information:
	• auto - Enables auto-discovery. When enabled, the boot LUN identification
	is provided by the fabric.
	• flash - The adapter obtains the boot LUN information from flash memory.
	Values are saved to flash when you configure them and save them
	through the BIOS Configuration Utility, HCM, and BCU.
	• firstlun - The host boots from the first LUN visible to the adapter that is
	discovered in the fabric.
p pos	Specifies the position for storing the boot LUN information in the -b pwwn, lun
	operand. The range is 0-3. The LUN information specified in position 0 is used
	first to boot from SAN, then information specified for positions 1, 2, and 3.
