HP rp7420, IBM Shark & boot device support

[Jim Mulshine]

Does anyone know if boot device support exists on IBM Shark when using HP rp7420 vPars? I'm considering a solution whereby two vPars in the HP server boot over the SAN on an IBM Shark. I've checked in IBM Shark interoperability matrix but can't confirm this issue with that document. Perhaps there is somebody with actual experience with this.

Have a look at this page - looks like the answer is a qualified yes, although you'll need to get agreement from your HP support people...
