Creating a Boot from SAN Volume
Boot from SAN dramatically reduces the time to recover servers by creating and storing
Replays of the boot volume at the disaster recovery site. The Boot from SAN function
allows servers to use an external SAN volume as the boot volume for the server. In the
event of a failure, power up a spare server, point the server to a boot image on the SAN,
and boot the server up.
Note To use the Boot from SAN wizard, you must already have a boot from SAN volume
created and in use. A boot from SAN volume is operating system-dependent and
requires the server HBA to be specifically configured and enabled to boot from the
SAN. See your respective operating system and HBA provider to create this
configuration.
