ESXi 6.5 boot from SAN

[vtaniparth]

Hello All,

Can anyone help me out with ESXi boot from SAN. Currently we have all the ESXi servers boot from local disk and we want it to boot from SAN. we are using 3PAR SAN and need some help/instructions for creating boot policy in order to set up boot from SAN.

Thanks in advance

You will need to setup your masking and zoning on the storage array and storage switch side. Once complete, they guides should help with the UCS portion
