Changing Boot Target Scan Method

This option is only available if none of the eight boot entries is configured to boot from

the DID or WWPN. The Emulex Adapter Configuration Main Menu is used to

configure up to eight boot entries. With boot scan enabled, the first device issues a

Name Server Inquiry.
The boot scan options are:

Boot Path from NVRAM Targets – Boot scan discovers only LUNs that are

saved to the adapter’s NVRAM. Select up to eight attached devices to use as

potential boot devices. Limiting discovery to a set of eight selected targets can

greatly reduce the time it takes for the EFIBoot driver to complete discovery.

Boot Path from Discovered Targets – Boot scan discovers all devices that are

attached to the FC port. Discovery can take a long time on large SANs if this

option is used.

Do not create boot path.
