EMC QLA22xx User Manual

If the SP that owns the boot LUN has only one port connected to the 
switch, and no other target devices are on the fabric, then zoning for 
the boot configuration is not necessary. You should make sure any 
existing zones still allow the HBA-to-SP connection.

Refer to the switch documentation for possible restrictions.

What Next? 
Continue to Preparing the Server.

You must adhere to the configuration rules for your server when you 
install and set up the PCI cards. See the server installation and 
operation manual. All servers must meet the following requirements:

◆

The PCI Fibre Channel HBA must be the first HBA adapter 
scanned for boot. 

◆

SCSI hard disks are allowed in configurations that boot from 
Fibre Channel. However, the BIOS for the disk’s SCSI adapters 
must be disabled. You should also disconnect any SCSI disks before 
installing Windows. Reconnect or add SCSI hard disks when the 
installation is complete. 

◆

You must have at least one EMC-qualified QLogic Fibre Channel 
HBA. Depending on your configuration, you can install 
additional Fibre Channel HBAs according to the topology rules in 
the EMC Support Matrix.

Perform the following steps:

1. Press 

ESC

 to exit the 

Fast!UTIL

 Options menu; then reboot the 

system.

You may receive a non-system disk error message; this is normal 
at this stage.

2. If any SCSI hard disk drives are connected, continue with step 3.

You might not be able to install Windows on the storage system if the 
server has a SCSI hard disk connected. The Windows Setup program 
may automatically assign the SCSI disk as drive C and install the 
operating system on that disk.

If no SCSI hard disk drives are connected to the server, go to 
step 4.
