Boot over SAN

4

port_id

Specifies the ID of the port for which you want to set the port’s boot from SAN
attributes. This could be the adapter_id/port_id, port PWWN, port name, or
port hardware path.

-s

Specifies the speed for the port. Default is autonegotiate. Note that
autonegotiate is the only speed option for 10 Gbps CNAs and Fabric Adapter
ports configured in CNA or NIC mode.

- o:

Begins options for obtaining boot LUN information (auto, flash, firstlun).

auto

Enables automatic identification of the boot LUN from fabric. Refer to

“Fabric-based boot LUN discovery”

on page 163 for more information. This

value is not supported for booting from direct-attached targets.

flash

Boot LUN information is obtained from flash memory. Note that values are
saved to flash when you configure them and save them through the BIOS
Configuration Utility, HCM, and BCU.

firstlun

The host boots from the first LUN visible to the adapter that is discovered in
the fabric.

-p pos

Specifies the start position in the flash array of boot LUNs. The range is 0-3.
The default value of 0 means the existing PWWN, LUN information in flash
would be erased.

-b pwwn,lun*

The host boots from the LUN information defined by the target PWWN and
LUN value (lun*).

Specify PWWN as a colon-separated value and the LUN ID as a hexadecimal
value (without 0x prefix).

The LUN must be the same LUN that you bound to the adapter port using the
storage system’s management or configuration utility (refer to

step 8

under

“Procedures”

on page 134).

Disable BIOS and boot over SAN support for an adapter port using the following command:

bcu bios --disable

Display BIOS settings, current port speed, and boot LUN information for the selected port using
the following command:

bcu bios --query

where:

port_id

Specifies the ID of the port for which you want to set the port’s interrupt
attributes.

All configuration values are stored to adapter flash memory.
