boot B

boot

Allows the host’s boot LUN information to be stored in the fabric zone database using a zone name containing the PWWN of an adapter port and zone members consisting of the storage target PWWN and LUN WWN. The adapter boot code can query the zone member list for the zone name that matches the adapter PWWN to determine the boot target and LUN.

NOTE

A system reboot is required for the newly-updated image to be effective.

Fabric OS 6.2 is required on adjacent switches to support fabric-based boot LUN discovery.

Refer to the Brocade Adapters Installation and Reference Manual for information about creating zones on the switch where the adapter is connected.

NOTE

On Solaris systems, the Download Boot Image menu is disabled if the host does not have a Fibre Channel HBA card or if the driver version is 1.1.0.7 or lower.
