1. FCoE Boot Configuration
To build an FCoE Boot Environment, you are required to configure the Converged Fabric Switch and the FCoE
Storage. This manual helps you understand for setup of Converged Fabric Switch and storage device.
In this setup, you should confirm WWN for CA ports of your target storage in FCoE Boot Environment.
We list basic components below which are required in constructing FCoE Boot environment of PRIMEQUEST
2000.
1)During FCoE Boot installation, keep out built-in disks from your server. After the installation, equip
those disks to your server.
You can add built-in disk to your server to reduce I/O load.
2)Download the latest version of driver and firmware of Converged Network Adapter from the following
URL and use them.

2. Steps of Configuring FCoE Boot
We explain the steps of configuring FCoE Boot.
In this document, we explain the steps to build FCoE Boot Environment on PRIMEQUEST 2000 series.
For information for setting and adjustment procedure of FCoE storage device and Converged Fabric Switch,
refer to the manuals accompanying to each product.
For information for configuring the server, refer to the manual of the server.
You can get latest version of manual from web site of PRIMEQUEST 2000 series.
Considerations at Introduction
At the time of the introduction of the system, consider following points.
Before the introduction of the system, check the considerations about SVIM which are described in the
"ServerView Suite Notes".
"ServerView Suite Notes" is posted on the following Web site.
http://jp.fujitsu.com/platform/server/primequest/software/svs/
When you install OS, you have to install only boot disk for OS. To do so, you must have boot disks
mounted in servers and keep out the other disks from the server.
According to the same reasons, you need to configure ETERNUS so that OS installer recognizes only the
boot disk.
In the case of multi-path configuration, make only a single path (FC cable) connected.
After the installation of the system, if there are some changes of configuration as following, initialize the
CNA at first, then reconfigure the CNA, and restart the server.
-In case that you register dump device of SAdump to the CNA.
-In case that you make some configuration change of SAN storage or FCoE switch, e.g. change of LUN
mapping, change of host affinity, change of port zoning, etc.
-In case that you change OS boot path due to some configuration change.
-In case that, for expanding, you register the LUN devices to the CNA.

Notes at System Operation
At the time of system operation, consider the following points.
Before restart of your server, make sure that SAN storage devices and FCoE switch are ready to use.
Until the partition is powered on, you can use MMB Web-UI to configure the partition.
In a case as such a hardware failure occurs, the suspected unit may not be identified by temporary
analysis on event logs.
Record the date and time of replacing the server (including replacing or relocating the CNA).
If you replaced the CNA with spare part, you have to reconfigure UEFI/extended BIOS on your server.
And you have to reconfigure FCoE switch/SAN storage device.
In SAN boot environment, depending on the quality condition of FCoE transmission path, the OS boot
may be fail. In this case, administrator checks the alarm and the status of the system, and identifies
the suspected unit in the FCoE switch and SAN storage device. In addition, select [Reset] in [Power
Control] screen of the MMB Web-UI, and then restart the server.
In Linux environment, if you use SAN boot with multi-path configuration, in order to do auto mount the
disk of ETERNUS in Rescue Mode, make only one FCoE port enabled(linked), and boot from the port.
As a multi-path configuration, it may not be able to start up properly.
In addition, in order to avoid mistake of operation, even if you do not do auto mount, it is recommend
that you make only one FCoE port enabled(linked) and boot from the port in Rescue Mode.
Setting of Connection of ETERNUS
For more information about configuration which is required to connect ETERNUS, refer to the following
Web site.
