To configure an existing storage device as a boot 
device, regardless of operating system, do the 
following:

Start the BIOS utility (see section 3.1, 
Starting the BIOS Utility, on page 3-1.) 
and select the desired HBA. The screen 
to the right is displayed.

 

 

 

 

Press 1 (Configure Boot Devices). A list 
of 8 boot devices is shown. It is 
recommended that only the bootable 
devices be configured. The primary boot 
device is the first entry shown, and it is 
the first bootable device. If the first boot 
entry fails due to a hardware error, the 
system can boot from the second 
bootable entry. If the second boot device 
fails, the system will boot from the third 
bootable entry and so on.

 

 

 

 

Press the number 
corresponding to a boot entry. 
The screen to the right is 
displayed.

We recommend that you select the drive with the lowest AL_PA as the boot device.

Type 00 to clear the selected boot entry, or type the number corresponding to a device to configure booting 
via WWPN or DID. If you select a device, you will be asked for the starting LUN.

Type the number corresponding to the 
starting LUN. The starting LUN can be 
any number between 0 and 255.

A possible 256 LUNs can be defined per 
adapter for Windows systems, or 127 for 
Linux systems, 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.
