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:
- Configure
your HBA for SAN boot.
- Configure the host bus
adapter (HBA) for static port binding.
- Configure
the volume that is to be
used as your SAN boot disk, and then map the volume to
the host.
- Configure the LUNs for use with VERITAS
Volume Manager
with DMP.
- Mirror the boot volume onto the discovered
LUNs using the
instructions in the VERITAS Volume Manager administration documentation.
