Installing EFI boot code onto the HBA
To boot from a Symmetrix device via a QLogic fibre controller under
the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) shell, QLogic EFI boot code
must be loaded to the HBA. EFI boot code provides the ability to boot
from an attached device over Fibre Channel.
Check the EMC Support Matrix for the minimum required EFI boot
code revision.
The CD-ROM contains the latest EMC-approved EFI boot code at the
time of this document’s release. Update EFI boot code files, if
available, can be found on the qLogic website
http://www.qlogic.com
.
NOTE: If your system does not have a floppy disk driver, a USB pen drive
can be used to run utilities and store files for this procedure. Check with your
server vendor to determine whether a USB pen drive is supported for your
system.
