Boot from SAN problem

[mhyde]

I am having a problem getting boot from SAN working.  I have a UCS B series.  I have configured fiber channel and it is up and working.  If I boot from a vmware CD, I can see the SAN and install to the proper LUN.  When I try to setup the system to boot from it, I get an access failure.  Any ideas?

adapter 1/7/1 (fls):5# lunlist

vnic : 15 lifid: 4

  - FLOGI State : flogi est (fc_id 0x0f0041)

  - PLOGI Sessions

     - WWNN 21:00:00:24:ff:2f:fa:dc WWPN 21:00:00:24:ff:2f:fa:dc fc_id 0x0f0020

  * fcid 0x0f0020 [pwwn 21:00:00:24:ff:2f:fa:dc]

The SAN is a freenas server.

Managed to find a way to change the nwwn, but made no difference:

did you check the storage interop matrix ?

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/servers-unified-computing/interoperability.html#~storage

I don't see this array on the list ?

I would open a TAC case ! You need a detailed FC trace !

Actual Boot order doesn't show any lun ?

Do you have 2 separate fabrics (2 MDS, dual controller storage).

Could it be, that the boot policy references the wrong fabric pwwn ?

Do you see any errors on MDS ? show logging log....
