Note: Depending upon the VNX series or CLARiiON system model, the HBA may not yet detect any LUNs or it may detect a LUNZ labeled device. This behavior is acceptable and to be expected.
11.Skip from the BIOS configuration to a separate host that has Unisphere/Navisphere Management software installed and is attached to the VNX series or CLARiiON storage system.
Since the operating system is not yet installed, the Naviagent/CLI is not running on the Linux host. Therefore, the HBA may need to be registered manually.
From the management host, manually register the host's HBA and add the host to the newly created Storage Group using Unisphere/Navisphere Management software.
12.Return to the BIOS configuration and reboot the host.
