Set Up the FCoE Boot Option ROM (Windows)

Before You Begin

You can use FCoE to boot an operating system only in legacy BIOS mode. Upgrades for Windows OS Release 16.2 are supported when FCoE Boot is enabled or when the Windows paging file is on an FCoE target. You must upgrade an FCoE-booted system only through the Intel PROSet for Windows Device Manager. A reboot is required to complete the upgrade.

  1. Power on, or reset, the system.
  2. Press Ctrl-D when the Press <Ctrl-D> to run setup... message is displayed.

    After you press Ctrl-D, the Intel Ethernet FCoE Boot Port Selection menu is displayed.

    This screen displays a list of Intel FCoE Boot-capable adapters. For each adapter port, the following fields are displayed:

    • Associated SAN MAC address

    • PCI device ID

    • PCI bus, device, and function location

    • FCoE Boot status

    Up to 10 FCoE Boot-capable ports can be displayed within the Port Selection menu. If there are more Intel FCoE Boot-capable adapters, these are not listed in the Selection menu.

  3. Highlight the desired port, and press Enter to display the FCoE Boot Targets Configuration menu.

    Discover Targets is highlighted by default. If the Discover VLAN value that is displayed is not correct, enter the correct value.

  4. Highlight Discover Targets, and press Enter to show the targets that are associated with the Discover VLAN value.

    Note - Under Target WWPN, if you know the desired WWPN, you can manually enter it or press Enter to display a list of previously discovered targets.

  6. Manually fill in the LUN and Boot Order values.

    The valid values for the boot order are 0-4. A 0 value means that no boot order is followed or that the target is ignored and that this port should not be used to connect to the target. Boot order values of 1-4 can only be assigned once to a target across all of the FCoE Boot enabled ports.The VLAN value is 0 by default. If the displayed VLAN is correct, you can enter the VLAN manually and execute the Discover Targets tool on that VLAN.

  7. Click Save.

    After the Discover Targets function is executed, the Option ROM attempts to remain logged into the fabric until the FCoE Boot Targets Configuration menu is exited.

  8. Press Esc to leave the screen.
