5. Enter the starting LUN. The starting LUN can be any number between 0 and 255.

Figure 23: LUN Listing

There are a possible 256 LUNs that can be defined per adapter, but the screen displays up to 16 consecutive LUNs at a time. In front of each entry, B#D or B#W specifies the boot entry number and whether the device boots via DID or WWPN. For example, B1D means that boot entry one will boot via DID. B2W means that boot entry two will boot via WWPN.

6.Select an entry. Another menu displays the following options:

1.Boot this device via WWPN

2.Boot this device via DID

7.Select the desired boot method.

If you select to boot the device via WWPN, the WWPN of the earlier selected entry is saved in the flash. However, during the initial BIOS scan, it will issue a Name Server Inquiry GID_PN (Get Port Identifier). Then, based on this DID, it will continue with the remainder of the scanning.

If you select to boot this device via DID, the earlier selected entry will be saved in the flash.

Install Windows 2000 Server on a Fibre Channel Disk

This procedure installs the Windows 2000 Server operating system onto a previously unformatted Fibre Channel disk drive that is connected to the Emulex adapter.

Note: Your computer’s system BIOS may require that another controller take precedence over the Emulex adapter during boot. If this occurs, you must disconnect or disable the other adapter. This will allow you to configure and build your operating system on the drive connected to the Emulex adapter.

To install Windows 2000 Server on a Fibre Channel disk:

1.From either the Emulex Web site or the CD-ROM that accompanies your Emulex product, download the latest version of the Emulex driver for Windows 2000 Server.

2.Extract the driver files onto a formatted floppy disk.

3.Boot with the Windows 2000 Setup Media. (This procedure assumes you are using CD-ROM medium. See Microsoft documentation for details.) The following message is displayed in the status bar:

"Setup is detecting your hardware."

4.Press <F6>. The following message is displayed in the status bar:

"Specify additional storage driver"
