following tasks:

You must enable BIOS to support boot over SAN for an adapter port. If disabled, the host
system cannot boot from Fibre Channel disk drives.

The default setting for the adapter boot BIOS is
enabled
on all adapter ports.
•
Enable one of the following Boot Options:
-
Auto Discover
Host boots from LUN information provided by the fabric.

Flash Values
Host boots from LUN information stored in flash memory.
-
First LUN
Host boots from the first visible LUN.

You can also perform many of these tasks using the Host Connectivity Manager (HCM) and Brocade

adapter boot support, updating boot code, configuring boot over SAN, and configuring fabric-based
boot LUN discovery, refer to the
