Configuring for SAN boot with Sun SPARC hosts

To use the SAN boot feature with a Sun SPARC host that is using the Lenovo Storage V7000 system, the boot disk must be encapsulated by the VERITAS Volume Manager. Encapsulation is the method for placing the boot disk under Volume Manager's management.

You must have your VERITAS Volume Manager administration documentation to complete the following steps.
Use these high-level steps to ensure that your boot disk is encapsulated by the Volume Manager:
  1. Configure your HBA for SAN boot.
  2. Configure the host bus adapter (HBA) for static port binding.
  3. Configure the volume that is to be used as your SAN boot disk, and then map the volume to the host.
  4. Configure the LUNs for use with VERITAS Volume Manager with DMP.
  5. Mirror the boot volume onto the discovered LUNs using the instructions in the VERITAS Volume Manager administration documentation.
