Set Auto Scan
This option allows you to set auto scan. The factory default setting is disabled. Auto Scan is available
only if none of the eight boot entries is configured to boot via DID or WWPN. It is strongly recommended
that you use the Configure Boot Devices menu to configure eight boot entries for fabric point-to-point,
public loop or private loop configurations.
With auto scan enabled, the first device will issue a Name Server Inquiry. The boot device will be either
the first DID, LUN 0, or not LUN 0 device returned, depending on the option you select. Only this device
will be the boot device and it will be the only device exported to the Multi-boot menu.
To set auto scan:
1.
Start the BIOS utility and select the adapter for which you want to set auto scan.
2.
When the main menu opens select

, Configure This Adapter's Parameters. The adapter
configuration menu is displayed (Figure 11).

device becomes the boot device. Only this device is exported to the Multi-boot menu.
