Boot from SAN with BL460c G1
Trying to boot from SAN on new blade server (new to blades altogether). We see the disk just fine in the Qlogic configuration tool (ctrl-q) and Virtual Connect shows everything is "good".
Windows 2003 install will not see Qlogic controller. OK...try SmartStart 8.00...it will not see the disk either. Read up on SmartStart and found out it does not support HBA boot...OK...trying to using virtual floppy with iLO and the QLogic drivers on the "VFD" file I created with WinImage...no worky. I press "S" button during setup when prompted, it asks me for a disk (which is virtually mounted) and I press "Enter". It flashes and then prompts me for the floppy again. I downloaded the "Boot from SAN" drivers for the QLogic mezzanine card from HP support, so I am pretty sure I have the right files on my floppy image.
Is this because there is no physical floppy in the blade server? Anyone know how to get around this?
thanks
Nelson Kaeppel

Re: Boot from SAN with BL460c G1
I do have another question along these lines. Can I use HP P2P Universal to migrate an older HP server (such as a DL380 G3) to a blade that does boot from SAN? In other words, does the P2P boot CD you run on the destination server have the QLogic drivers in it so that it will see the SAN drives?
Thanks
Nelson

Re: Boot from SAN with BL460c G1
Has the P2P Universal worked for you?
I am looking at migrating servers from DAS to SAN booting.
hturker:
Only zone one port on your server HBA to one port on your SAN. The installation is probably getting confused as it sees too many paths. You can add the extra WWN's once you have your OS running.
Thanks
