Boot from SAN Configuration.

Hi All,

I built a testing lab using two ESX 4.0 hosts with direct attached storage “ESX console” and a shared iSCSI “VMFS” storage to test and see VSphere features like DRS VMotion etc..

And now I want to install two diskless servers and configure them to boot from SAN.

I managed 500 G.B LUN on Fiber channel NetApp storage and I want to configure this server to boot from SAN.

Each server has a dual HBA cards "Qlogic 4 GB"

Is there a step-by-step procedures or document that I could follow beside VMware documentation.

Thanks in advance,

Ahmed Salah

This should give you the information you need on how to configure your HBA to boot from SAN - http://www.qlogic.com/EducationAndResources/Resource%20Library%20Documents/boot_from_SAN_pt1.pdf
