Dear all experts,

I am going to boot the HP Server from SAN and I have already backup/restore the OS to SAN disk. However, it can't boot up and return an error message "Non-system disk or disk error". I did below setting at bios and HBA bios setting:

At bios:
Boot Controller Order - Select HBA card to Ctlr:1

At HBA bios setting:
Enable Host Adapter Bios and selected SAN Lun
Enable Selectable Boot Settings

I am looking forward to hear some idea from all of the experts.

Many Thanks,

Dico

Dico - Are you getting the

Are you getting the error after a restore? I am not sure I understand where the error came from. Can you elaborate a little bit on what exactly you are doing? We can back and recover a SAN boot system, and we can backup and restore SAN volumes (LUNs).

 I've been told before that

 I've been told before that boot from SAN was not supported?  If that has changed in 2010, that is great news.

That said, have you injected the correct drivers into the SRD yet?  

The SRD has to boot into the WinPE image, see the HBA, then storage should appear.

There is an online portal, save yourself the long hold times. Create ticket online, then call in with ticket # in hand :-) http://mysupport.symantec.com "We backup data to restore, we don't backup data just to back it up."
