Diskless Booting

  • Diskless Clients

    • Currently, Mt Xia has no diskless clients booting from the NIM Server.
  • Boot from SAN

    • The desired configuration is for all Unix servers to boot from SAN disk
    • Unix Servers shall not contain any internal disk
    • NIM installation of operating system is performed to SAN attached disk, virtual SAN disk, or logical volume presented as a virtual SAN disk
    • Requires each Unix server to have multiple HBA's for redundant access to SAN disk

      • HBA's may be real or virtual
    • Requires coordination and cooperation between Unix and Storage groups
