This issue is addressed in system firmware version 3.01 for rx2660, rx3600, and rx6600.

There are three workarounds for this issue:

1. Return to the Boot Manager, enter and exit the EFI shell a second time, and retry the boot;

or,

2. Reset the system and retry the boot; or,

3. Configure the EFI driver to always map the boot devices using the drvcfg -s at the EFI

shell prompt.

• Fibre channel devices do not appear in the EFI shell

The solution to this issue is to use the drvcfg -s at the EFI shell prompt, to configure the

Emulex EFI driver to always scan the boot devices.

1. To view the Emulex driver handle information, at the EFI shell prompt type: Shell>

drivers A list of drivers is displayed.

2. Write down the driver handle associated with the Emulex SCSI Pass Thru Driver. The first

column, labelled DRV, lists the driver handles.

3. Enter the drvcfg -s <driver handle> command; for example, if the driver handle

is 20 (your driver handle may be different): Shell> drvcfg -s 20. Information is

displayed, listing all of the HBAs in your system; your listings may vary, depending upon

how many HBAs are installed in your system.

4. Using the arrow keys, locate the HBA that you want to configure, select (i.e., highlight)

the corresponding row, and press Enter.

5. Select (highlight) the Setup Utility option and press Enter.

6. Select (highlight) the Configure Boot Parameters option and press Enter.

7. Select (highlight) the Boot Target Scan option and press Enter.
