CNA startup BIOS message
The CNA BIOS that is typically used to configure Boot from SAN (BFS) can also aid in troubleshooting CNA installation, SAN link, and zoning configuration issues. During the system startup the CNA startup BIOS message displays on the system console. This message provides minimal information, such as the BIOS revision and if a CNA is configured for BFS. It also displays the LUN path information to the boot device.
During startup, you have the option to enter the BIOS configuration utility by pressing Ctrl+E on the system console (see Figure 12 (page 17)).
