EMC Fibre Channel with QLogic HBAs in the Windows Environment
Configuring an EMC Boot Device
• If there are multiple QLogic HBAs, a list of addresses occupies
by those HBAs appears. Use the arrow keys to select the
desired HBA; then press
ENTER. The Fast!UTIL Options menu
appears.
3. Select Configuration Settings from the menu.
4. Select Selectable Boot Settings from the Configuration Settings
menu.
The first Boot Port Name entry should already be configured (as
described under Configuring the HBA Boot BIOS on page 3-23).
If you want another SP port to be accessible as a potential boot
path to the current owner SP, select the next Boot Port Name
entry, and in the Device window select the CLARiiON port
WWN from which you want to boot.
5. If you have other HBAs for which you want to assign Boot Port
Name entries, you can press
ESC to go back to the main menu,
save changes, and select another HBA as shown in step 2. If the
other HBA you wish to configure has its own
CTRL-Q BIOS
prompt, reboot the server and configure that HBA's Boot Port
Name entries as you have done here.
6. Trespass the LUN and repeat steps 1 through 5 to configure any
paths over which you want to be able to boot the LUN from the
other SP.
To trespass the LUN, follow the instructions in the EMC
ControlCenter Navisphere Management software documentation
for your array type. The process depends on the failover software
installed:
• With PowerPath configurations, this can usually be done from
the EMC ControlCenter Navisphere Management software
GUI by right-clicking the desired LUN and selecting trespass.
Confirm in the LUN properties that the LUN has trespassed
before you return to configure the remaining Boot Port Name
entries.
• With ATF configurations:
– With FC-series array core code 8.45.x, this can usually be
done from the EMC ControlCenter Navisphere
Management software GUI by right-clicking on the desired
LUN and selecting trespass. Confirm in the LUN
properties that the LUN has trespassed before you return
to configure the remaining Boot Port Name entries.
