Boot LUN zoning
Boot from SAN provides rapid server provisioning, rapid recovery from server failure, improved reliability, and reduced power and
cooling. Brocade/QLogic Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) support boot from SAN in all types of environments. Brocade features make boot
from SAN easier to deploy, such as putting a label with the port World Wide Name (pWWN) on the bracket of the HBA and a feature
called Fabric-Based Boot LUN Discovery. Fabric-Based Boot LUN Discovery can be deployed in a Brocade SAN only using Brocade/
QLogic HBAs; eliminating the manual process of boot LUN configuration of each HBA from each server console. This capability
dramatically improves configuration and reliability, containing operational costs and making the adoption of diskless servers a practical
alternative for even large data centers.
NOTE
IBM UEFI and other UEFI-based servers do not support this unique Brocade feature, because of their different discovery
processes.
