Required hardware

PRIMEQUEST2000seriesmainunit

FibreChannelcard(8Gbps/16Gbps FCcard).

ThemainunitforperformingaSANbootmusthaveamountedFCcard(8Gbps/16Gbps).

PC forthesetupofthe SANstorageunit(ETERNUS)andFCswitch (IfthePCrequirements aresatisfied, itcanalso

be usedas anotherconsolesuchas the MMBconsole.For details,see the manualforeachdevice.)

1.2 SAN Boot Environment Configuration Flow

This section describes the configurationflow forSANbootenvironment. Followsteps1to4 below to

configuretheSANbootenvironment.

Notes

Usea singlepath configuration (connection withonlyoneFC cable)until the installationof the operating

systemandmultipathdriveris completed.

Afterinstalling the operatingsystem andmultipath driver, connecttheFCcableto restoretheoriginal

state. Then,power onthepartitionof the PRIMEQUEST2000seriesserveragain.

Register theLUNthatis the destinationof operatingsystem installation in allofthe HBAs to beusedfor

startingthe system.

Before turningonthe powertothepartitionofthe PRIMEQUEST2000 seriesserver,confirmthatthe

SANstoragewhere the operating systemis tobestoredandtheFCswitch are completelyready.
