Booting from the external storage array

Installation and Configuration

◆ In some server instances, boot from an internal drive cannot be

explicitly disabled. In this case, the internal drive(s) must be

physically disconnected or removed from the server. Refer to

your server documentation for details.

IMPORTANT

In some cases, re-adding an internal drive (after having previously

removed it and configured an adapter for boot) may result in the

internal drive being re-enumerated as the first drive. This may

modify the boot order so the server will attempt to boot from the

internal drive rather than the intended array-based LUN, and fail to

boot. Make sure that appropriate precautions are taken to ensure

that the server will properly boot from an array-based LUN before

re-adding an internal system drive.

Legacy (x86 and most x64-based sServers) boot BIOS configuration

1. When the Emulex banner (Figure 11) appears during power-on

self test (POST), press Alt-E to enter the Emulex Configuration

utility.

Figure 11 Emulex banner

Note: If no Emulex banner is displayed during POST, verify that a

bootable BIOS image has been loaded on the adapter and that the image

has been explicitly enabled. (Refer to “Updating the adapter firmware

using the HBAnyware utility” on page 109 for details on loading a

bootable BIOS image on the adapter, and “Updating the flash

firmware/BIOS” on page 30.)

The utility opens to the main Emulex LightPulse BIOS Utility

page (Figure 12).
