Hello All,
I have 2 6332 16UP fabric interconnects (FI) with 3 chassis currently configured and operational. I am trying to configure a boot polcy for my C240 M4L. I have the C240 wired and it has checked in to the FI, and I was able to build a policy for VNic, and VHBA and this seems to be fine. The major issue I am having is I did things a little backwards and now I cannot get the server to boot. What I mean about backwards is the Server has 2 internal SSD drives and 12 @ 6TB drives. I have installed windows on the internal SSD drives, and configured the 12 other drives into a raid 6 configuration. This was done before I connected the server to the FI's. I am trying to create a boot policy so I can boot to the SSD drives I have already installed windows on. I cannot seem to set a boot policy that will work. Is there a way to have the boot policy to be handed by the server itself?
Thanks,
Scott

You need to have a boot order item for 'embedded PCH' lun
that will trigger the option ROM for the embedded controllers megaraidSR.
You normally configure a controller definition in your storage profile so the PCH controller knows if it is AHCI vs software raid mode, and raid 0, raid 1, etc.
Not sure about taking an existing raid 1 (try the 'prepair claim local lun'). The controller definition does have an anyconfig option, so that should retain the existing data/raid config.
Try at least making sure you have a embedded PCH entry in the boot order.
Thanks,

Use "Embedded Local Disk/LUN"
