HBA interacts with the non-boot HBAs. A work-around is to reconfigure the zoning such that the boot instance (for each path) is in its own zone separate from the other non-boot HBAs. In some cases, this may also result in faster boot-up times. • When installing to storage attached to the 403621-B21 LPe1105 mezzanine card in a VC environment through a Brocade switch, both the target LUN and the WWN for the boot controller will not be visible in the zone, in the switch administrative tool. The work-around is to take note of the mezzanine card's WWN when installing it into the system, or get it from the VC manager or EFI utility. Then manually enter the WWN into the desired zone on the switch when configuring the zone. Scan for targets and continue with normal installation steps to boot from the mezzanine card. • EFI boot path configuration will not detect multiple controller ports connected to one HBA thru McData fabric. • In a BFS configuration, the installed HBAs may display different names when viewed through the device manager. This is a cosmetic condition, not a functional issue. • The Emulex 81E and 82E HBAs (AJ762A and AJ763A) running the Universal Boot Image 5.03a0, does not support Boot from SAN on the DL160 G5 Proliant server. • When the Load Driver option is selected during the operating system build of a Windows 2008 server in a Boot from SAN Configuration, a multiple entry of the Emulex driver will be displayed. If multiple types of HBAs are displayed, select the first entry, then proceed. Miscellaneous issues • TFTP type monitors cannot be used to install an operating system on Itanium servers. Instead, you must use a VGA type monitor. • A direct connect environment is not supported with the EVA4400, EVA4000/6000/8000 storage array (i.e., there is no FC switch between the HBA and the storage array). Compatibility and interoperability HP recommends that you implement zoning with HBAs, as described in the HP StorageWorks SAN design reference guide, available at the website: http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/san/documentation.html.
