Selectable Boot Settings

Selectable Boot Settings: The Selectable Boot Settings option is accessed from the Configuration Settings menu. If you enable this option, you can select the node name from which you want to start up (boot).
Once enabled, this option forces the system to start up from the selected FC drive, ignoring any IDE drives attached to the system. If you disable this option, the system looks for an IDE drive from which to start. If an IDE drive is not found, the system looks for the first startable FC drive. When this setting is disabled, the boot ID and boot LUN parameters have no effect.

NOTE: This option applies only to disk devices, it does not apply to CD-ROMs, tape drives, and other nondisk devices.

Adapter Hard ID Settings: The Adapter Hard ID Settings option from the Configuration Settings menu forces the Netfinity Fibre Channel PCI Adapter to use the selected hard ID (0-125).

Restore Default Settings: The Restore Defaults option from the Configuration Settings menu restores the PCI adapter default settings.

Raw NVRAM Data: This option displays the adapter nonvolatile random access memory (NVRAM) contents in hexadecimal format. Data cannot be modified.

Scan Fibre Channel Devices: This option scans the FC loop and lists all the connected devices by loop ID. Information about each device is listed, for example, vendor name, product name, and revision. This information is useful when configuring the Netfinity Fibre Channel PCI Adapter and attached devices.

Fibre Channel Disk Utility: This option scans the FC loop bus and lists all the connected devices by loop ID. You can select a disk device and perform a low-level format or verify the disk media.

NOTE: Performing a low-level format destroys all data on the disk.
