SAN Boot Implementation and Best Practices Guide ... - IBM Redbooks

2.6 QLogic HBA configuration
In this section, we configure the QLogic HBA to communicate with the DS5000 storage
subsystem. Ultimately this will allow for a broadcast over the SAN fabric, so that the storage
subsystem can recognize the World Wide Port Number (WWPN) of the HBA.
Tip: You need to do the zoning configuration on your SAN switch before moving on. We do
not cover the SAN zoning steps in this chapter. Check with your switch manufacturer for the
proper way to do zoning.
