17 Dell EMC SC Series with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7x | CML1071
4. Remove any mappings to the volume(s) from SC Series storage.
2.9 Boot from SAN
The ability to use SC Series volumes as bootable volumes in Linux allows system and storage administrators
to further leverage the strengths of SC Series snapshot and snapshot view volume technologies. Two uses
for snapshots of Linux boot volumes are: a backup/recovery mechanism, or to preserve the state of an
operating system at a point in time prior to upgrades.
To use an SC Series volume as a bootable volume, the target volume needs to be presented to the target
Linux host as LUN ID 0. A volume LUN ID 0 mapping with SC Series storage is performed as follows.
1. Right-click the volume and select Map Volume to Server.
2. Identify the host where volume needs to be mapped and click Next.
