If you have to reboot the Blade, you have two possibilities:
Fix the path failure before rebooting the blade
Edit some settings before rebooting the blade
If you choose the second way you have to do the following actions:
1. Reboot the server and enter the Emulex BIOS ("FC Emulex HBA" on page 139)
2. Disable the Adapter BIOS on the Adapter where it is currently enabled, as described in
19.3.2, "Enable adapter BIOS", but this time choose 2 to disable the BIOS.
3. Now configure the boot device and enable the BIOS on the port that is connected to the
second path, following the instructions in 19.3, "Enabling boot from SAN with Emulex
adapters" on page 449.
4. Save the configuration changes on the adapter and reboot the server. Now the operating
system will boot up using the other path.
