Considerations for local boot
•
Minimum configuration: one controller
−
One controller supports boot to all partitions but lacks controller redundancy or online f/w upgrading
•
Optimal configuration: two controllers
−
Configure redundant boot paths to separate controllers
−
Controller firmware may be independently upgraded without taking down the server partitions
