San boot - WWN on hba

[inex]

Hi,
On configuring san boot on a windows 2008 server, will the wwpn on the hba be visible on the san switch when enabling bios on the hba?

Or must the wwpn in the zone for this switch be added manually and also the server added manually in in EVA system?

Hi,
it will be visible with (or without) the BIOS enabling on the fabric, but at the same time is should be manualy zoned and then manualy added/created as a host/host group on EVA

Will the hba log into the switch without drivers loaded to the hba or bios enabled?
