Boot from FCoE Storage Port

If I directly attach a NetApp array to the fabric interconnect using the new FCoE storage ports, can the blades use boot from SAN in this scenario?

Simon,

There shouldn't be a problem with this.  Assuming the initators can reach the direct attach target you should be able to SAN boot your blades.  I haven't set this up myself, but in theory there should be nothing preventing this.

Robert

Thanks for that Robert, that's what I was hoping for.
