Yo have to make LUN id 0. second thing is bit setting for FA. Follow the windows 2008 Bit setting.

Thanks..we have the bit settings on the FAs but I think our problem is, and one thing I forgot to mention, is that we are attemting this on a HP Blade and Virtual Connect is playing a roll in the boot option. We have the LUN Id set to zero (0), but still no luck. Any other ideas?

Is anyone doing boot from san with HP Blades, HP Virtual Connect and Vmax?

FA settings are the same as for normal provisioning, you can check in E-lab for FA flags
