For Fabric Adapter ports configured in HBA mode, refer to the following procedures. • For CNAs and Fabric Adapter ports configured in CNA mode on SLES 11 on UEFI-supported systems, refer to "UEFI mode install and boot with CNAs and Fabric Adapter ports configured in CNA mode" on page 161. If the LUN you have targeted for booting over SAN already has an operating system installed, be sure to use options for reformatting the LUN during Linux installation. Refer to your operating system documentation for details. NOTE If you are installing SLES 11 for systems with HBAs and Fabric Adapter ports configured in HBA mode only, the appropriate drivers are included with the SLES product CD, so you can ignore steps 1 through 3 in the following procedures. However, if the driver is not detected on the SLES product CD during installation, you should download the latest driver update ISO file, create a driver update disk CD or USB drive, and use this to install drivers as outlined in the following steps.
