Boot windows 32bit off the San

Can anyone point me to a document on how to setup a Proliant 32bit to boot of the SAN running Windows?

Thanks

Well, you could start with the StorageWorks Windows Connectivity for EVA guides (http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/enterprise/index.html , "Technical Documentation" link).

It would help if you told us what make and model of Fibre Channel Adapter (FCA) you are using, and what SAN storage (MSA 1000, EVA 5000, XP 12000) you are trying to boot from.

Mark,
EVA5000 support HP branded HBAs and few amount of native HBAs. HBAs from qlogic mentioned in this document and supported with EVA5k are FCA2214 and QLA2340/2342.

Andrzej
