entries are configured to boot from DID or WWPN. The factory default is disabled. If
there is more than one adapter with the same PCI Bus number in the system, and each
has a boot drive attached, the first PCI-scanned adapter is the boot adapter. The first
adapter is usually in the lowest PCI slot in the system.
Use the Boot Devices menu (Figure 4-7) to configure up to eight boot entries for fabric
point-to-point, public loop, or private loop configurations. The first adapter is usually
in the lowest PCI slot in the system. This device is the only boot device and it is the only
device exported to the multi-boot menu.
Auto scan options:

Autoscan disabled – default.

Any first device – The first adapter issues a Name Server Inquiry and the first
D_ID from the inquiry becomes the boot device. The adapter attempts to log in
to a public loop first. If it fails, it logs in to a private loop. The first successfully
scanned device becomes the boot device. This device only is exported to the
multi-boot menu.

First LUN 0 device

First NOT LUN 0 device (a device other than LUN 0)
