XP and VA SAN boot support
XP and VA LUNs can be booted from the SAN using B-series, C-series, and M-series switches.
SAN boot through the B-series MP Router is not supported.
Support for booting from the SAN depends on:
• PDC
• Firmware
• HBA
• Operating system and version
• Fibre Channel port speed
For support information, contact your HP representative.
Table 136 indicates high-level boot support where at least one combination of storage system, HBA, operating
system type, and switch is supported as a bootable configuration.
