Best Practices for Testing the Environment

Test the storage enivornment by doing the following:

  • Boot the OS on the host server, and then disable the primary path to the SAN boot device to validate the multipath connection.

  • Physically pull the cable from the system.

  • Intentionally disrupt zoning at the FC switch that you plan to attach to the HBA.

  • If you have installed any alternate boot LUNs, try to boot from those (after disrupting the primary connection(s)).

  • Make sure the boot LUN is set as the first boot device in the system BIOS/UEFI settings.
