Re: BL460c Gen with V2 Intel CPUs can't see 534FLB's HBA?

I was having this problem too and thanks to this I was able to fix it.

Now I have a couple of questions in a Boot from SAN scenario

  1. How can I make this work in a boot from SAN scenario ? I mean, how can I force FCoE hba scanning before setup scans the media ? Can I escape to a shell ALT-something before setup scans the media or do I have to customize the ISO with scripts ?
  2. If I were able to make the setup "see" the LUN in the SAN media, it will work after the reboot ?

 

Thanks.
