Enabling a boot device on a SAN
In a Storage Area Network (SAN) environment, a disk is uniquely identified by the HBA port
(WWID or WWPN), the Array port (BootDeviceWWID or WWN), and its Logical number
(BootDeviceLUN). Some disks connected through Emulex or Qlogic HBAs might not be available
at EFI. This requires an additional configuration step before installing Windows.
When the readhwconf action executes, the HBA configuration file is saved at data_files
folder. You must edit this file manually to enable the installation disk as a boot device. The
following is a sample HBA configuration file. in which the BootDeviceLUN=1 is set as the boot
device (SelectBootEnable=1).

You can obtain the BootDeviceWWID and BootDeviceLUN information from the hpacubin
