Configuring a CLARiiON Boot Device

This section describes how to install a boot device onto an EMC CLARiiON® storage system connected to an Intel-based x86 class server. You can then boot Windows from the storage system.

This section assumes that EMC did not prepare the server or the storage system to boot Windows from the storage system.

SCSI hard disks are allowed in configurations that boot over Fibre Channel. However, the BIOS for a SCSI disk’s SCSI adapters must be disabled. You should also disconnect any SCSI disks before installing Windows.

Procedure	The installation procedure includes steps you must follow in a
Flowchart	specific order. The following flowchart outlines the major steps.
