state. Then, power on the partition of the PRIMEQUEST 1000 series server again.

Register the LUN that is the destination of operating system installation in all of the HBAs to be used for
starting the system.

Before turning on the power to the partition of the PRIMEQUEST 1000 series server, confirm that the
SAN storage where the operating system is to be stored and the FC switch or FCoE switch are completely
ready.


Create a drawing for FC/FCoE cabling between the SAN storage unit and the PRIMEQUEST 1000 series
server in which the SAN boot environment is to be configured. Also create a zone design drawing.
