222 Using the Disk Array FC60 as a Boot Device (HP-UX Only)

Using the Disk Array FC60 as a Boot Device (HP-UX
Only)

The Disk Array FC60 is supported for use as boot device on the following HP 9000 Servers
running HP-UX 11.0:

– K-Class
– D-Class
– N-Class
– L-Class

Note

Not all levels of server PDC (processor dependent code) support Fibre Channel
boot. Before performing the following procedure, ensure that the level of PDC
on the server supports booting from a Fibre Channel device.

To serve as a boot device, the Disk Array FC60 must have a suitable LUN created on it. If
the disk array has a LUN structure on it, an available LUN can be used for the boot disk, or
another LUN can be created. This applies to a disk array that has already been in use, and
when installing a new factory assembled disk array (A5277AZ).

When installing a field racked disk array,(A5277A), it will be necessary to create a LUN
before the disk array can be used as a boot device.
