Boot from SAN
For guidelines and recommendations for boot from SAN with Microsoft Windows hosts and PowerStore, refer to the
Considerations for Boot from SAN with PowerStore
appendix.
Fibre Channel Configuration
This section describes the recommended configuration that should be applied when attaching hosts to PowerStore cluster using
Fibre Channel.
NOTE:
This section applies only to FC. If you are using only iSCSI with Windows, go to
iSCSI HBA Configuration
.
NOTE:
Before you proceed, review
Fibre Channel and NVMe over Fibre Channel SAN Guidelines
.
Pre-Requisites
This section describes the pre-requisites for FC HBA configuration.
●
Refer to the E-Lab Interoperability Navigator (
) for supported FC HBA models and drivers.
●
Verify all HBAs are at the supported driver, firmware and BIOS versions.
●
Verify all HBAs BIOS settings are configured according to E-Lab recommendations. Follow the procedures in one of the
following documents according to the FC HBA type:
○
For Qlogic HBAs, refer to
Dell EMC Host Connectivity with Qlogic FIbre Channel and iSCSI HBAs and Converged
Network Adapters (CNAs) for the Windows Environment
.
○
For Emulex HBAs, refer to
Dell EMC Host Connectivity with Emulex Fibre Channel and iSCSI HBAs and Converged
Network Adapters (CNAs) for the Windows Environment
.
○
For Cisco UCS fNIC HBAs, refer to the
Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card Drivers for Windows Installation Guide
for
complete driver installation instructions .
iSCSI Configuration
This section describes the recommended configuration that should be applied when attaching hosts to PowerStore cluster using
iSCSI.
NOTE:
