zone it to your FC connector. Once its visible you can install the OS.

Ignite/the OS INstaller is quite intelligent at ascertaiing most conifgurations that include drivers for Fibre Channel, iSCSI/Network Cards, SCSI cards etc for it to locate candidate Boot/OS disks...

Re: How to set boot from SAN on BL860c i2?
Several ways to achieve this.
But if you boot from the DVD, the installer will search the SAN. After doing this, the EVA can see the WWN of the server and you are able to create a host entry in CV and present a LUN.
If you let the installer on the server scan again now, you will see the disk and you are ready to install.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: How to set boot from SAN on BL860c i2?
Sometimes (for Phyiscal servers/non-blade) the WWID of the HBA is on a sticker visible to the naked eye.
OR
One could just zone "hard"..

0. Previouse Menu

3. Enable Selective Login [n]
4. Enable Selective Lun Logins [n]\
5. OS Mode [Window/Linux/Other]

Re: How to set boot from SAN on BL860c i2?
But during the installation the install process is setting a boot entry in EFI boot manager.
If this is lost or whatever, you can set the EFIFCScanLevel, then the search will take longer, but finds the LUN.
Hope this helps!

Torsten.
