Server management 108
Define a Server Profile screen ("Define Server Profile screen" on page 100). To access the Fibre Channel
boot parameters, select the Show Fibre Channel Boot Parameters checkbox.
There are four SAN Boot options:
• Use BIOS/EFI (default)—SAN boot settings are not configured by Virtual Connect Manager. BIOS
settings are used.
• Primary—Port is enabled for SAN boot, and is first in the boot order.
• Secondary—Port is enabled for SAN boot, and is second in the boot order.
• Disabled—Port is disabled for SAN boot.
IMPORTANT: If Use BIOS is not selected, any parameters set on this screen override the
settings used in other tools, such as RBSU.
A server blade must be powered on at least once with the mezzanine cards installed before Virtual
Connect can properly set the device boot order. The BIOS must first discover the local devices before
Virtual Connect can properly configure the boot order.
When a server blade is first powered on after profile assignment, any Fibre Channel HBA ports that have
SAN boot enabled are configured. However, it may require a subsequent reboot for the boot controller
order to be set correctly.
If the boot settings are changed in the RBSU, the Virtual Connect specified boot settings are not re-applied
until the server has completed POST.
If SAN boot is enabled for a port, be sure that the Target Port Name and LUN are entered correctly.
For additional information on SAN boot parameters, see the HP website
