Troubleshooting UCS SAN Boot

[scotthan]

I found this document floating around internally and I didn't see anything marked confidential, so I'm going to share ... information wants to be free :-)

It's a guide that is rather helpful in troubleshooting SAN Boot on UCS. Authored by https://twitter.com/KarlVietmeier

Scott, thanks for posting this, something I should have done long ago!

Note - I have a newer version of this document and it has also been turned into a CiscoLive! Lab Session which we will be offering in San Diego next year.

Here is a link to version 4.0

Awesome! Great doc, I just tweeted the update. Maybe jumpstart your twitter update frequency :-)

Hi, Could you share v4 again? The link is not available now.

Thanks!

[Karl Vietmeier]

Sorry - I moved some files around on my cloud providers - we will upload the doc here to avoid this in the future.

Any possibility of uploading V4 again? I know it's been a while but the version above has been helpful.
