machine, Fujitsu recommends the "SAN boot environment," which uses SAN storage
units (e.g., ETERNUS). The workflow for setting up the SAN boot environment is as
follows:

- Install and connect the SAN storage units and the switches according to the Fibre Channel connection diagram created in
"Design the SAN boot environment."
- Retrieve and specify the RAID, partition, and zone information created in "Design the SAN boot environment" and the
WWPNs recorded in "Make SAN boot settings for the PRIMEQUEST machine."
