Configuring an EMC Boot Device
3. Create a member alias for the boot HBA WWPN. Make sure it is a
member alias and that you use the 21... Port Name, not the 20...
Node Name.
4. Create a member alias for one storage system SP port that you
connected earlier and to which you bound the boot LUN. You can
choose either Port 0 or Port 1 of the SP if both ports are connected
to the switch. EMC recommends using Port 0 for consistency.
5. Create a zone and include the HBA alias and SP port alias created
in steps 3 and 4.
6. Create a new zone configuration or select an existing zone
configuration, and add the zone created in step 5.
7. Enable the zone configuration chosen in the previous step, and
click Apply.
8. Ensure that any ports, aliases or zones composed of the HBA
connection referenced above do not appear in any other zones or
configurations that are enabled.
Important: If you have previously soft-zoned servers, they will not adhere
to the new configuration unless they are restarted. Refer to the switch
zoning manual for further information.

Hard Zoning To use hard zoning:
1. Start a switch web-based or Telnet-based configuration session.
2. Create a zone and include the boot HBA port and one SP port.
You can choose either Port 0 or Port 1 of the SP if both are
connected to the switch. EMC recommends using Port 0 for
consistency.
3. Create a new zone configuration or select an existing zone
configuration, and add this zone.
4. Enable the zone configuration chosen in the previous step.
5. Ensure that any ports, aliases or zones composed of the HBA
connection referenced above do not appear in any other zones or
configurations that are enabled.
