Changing Boot Target Scan Method
This option is only available if none of the eight boot entries is configured to boot from
the DID or WWPN. The Emulex Adapter Configuration Main Menu is used to
configure up to eight boot entries. With boot scan enabled, the first device issues a
Name Server Inquiry.
The boot scan options are:
Boot Path from NVRAM Targets – Boot scan discovers only LUNs that are
saved to the adapter’s NVRAM. Select up to eight attached devices to use as
potential boot devices. Limiting discovery to a set of eight selected targets can
greatly reduce the time it takes for the EFIBoot driver to complete discovery.
Boot Path from Discovered Targets – Boot scan discovers all devices that are
attached to the FC port. Discovery can take a long time on large SANs if this
option is used.
Do not create boot path.
