4.6.4 Setting Auto Scan
This option allows you to attempt to boot from the first found disk reported by the switch on the SAN. The factory default is
disabled. If more than one adapter with the same PCI bus number exists in the system, and each has a boot drive attached,
the first PCI-scanned adapter is the boot adapter.
The following auto scan options are available:
Autoscan disabled – default.
Any first device – The first adapter issues a name server inquiry to the switch and the first reported FC disk becomes
the boot device. The adapter attempts to log in to a public loop first. If it fails, it logs in to a private loop. The first
successfully scanned device becomes the boot device. Only this device is exported to the multi-boot menu.
First LUN 0 device.
First NOT LUN 0 device (a device other than LUN 0).
