Step 6 (Optional) To reboot all servers that use this boot policy after you make changes to the boot order, check the
Rebooton Boot Order Change check box.
Inthe Cisco UCS Manager GUI, if theReboot on Boot Order Change check box is checked for a boot
policy,and if CD-ROM or Floppy is the last device in the boot order, deleting or adding the device does not
directlyaffect the boot order and the server does not reboot.
Step 7 (Optional) If desired,check the EnforcevNIC/vHBA/iSCSI Name check box.
•Ifchecked, Cisco UCS Manager displays a configuration error and reports whether one or more of the
vNICs,vHBAs, or iSCSI vNICs listed in the Boot Order table matchthe server configurationin the
serviceprofile.
•Ifnot checked,Cisco UCS Manager uses the vNICs, vHBAs, or iSCSI vNICs (as appropriate for the
bootoption) from theserver configuration in the service profile. It does not report whether the vNICs,
vHBAs,or iSCSI vNICs specified in the boot policy match the server configuration in the service profile.
Step 8 Toadd a iSCSI boot to the boot policy, do the following:
a) Click the down arrows to expand the iSCSI vNICs area.
b) Click the Add iSCSI Boot link.
