Shalom,

Use EFI to build a boot option from DVD.

Hello Wan,


If you are using device mapper;

Emulex & Qlogic Boot From SAN Doc;

http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01672721/c01672721.pdf

If you are planning to use Device mapper, you will have to follow the steps in the second link to configure HBA.


Hope this helps.

-Thank You
