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.
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"
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.
