After Windows installs on the remote LUN, the system should automatically reboot from the LUN. Messages should display on the host system as the Brocade BIOS or UEFI loads successfully. System boot setup screens should also display a hard drive entry containing the Brocade adapter, boot LUN number, and target storage device.
