Configuring a Local Disk Boot for a Boot Policy
You can also create a local boot policy that is restricted to a service profile or service profile template. However,
except for iSCSI boot, we recommend that you create a global boot policy that can be included in multiple
service profiles or service profile templates.
You can add more than one type of boot device to a boot policy. For example, you could add a virtual media
boot as a secondary boot device.
This procedure continues directly from Creating a Boot Policy, on page 440.
Procedure
Step 1
Click the down arrows to expand the Local Devices area.
Step 2
Click Add Local Disk to add the device to the Boot Order table.
Step 3
Do one of the following:
• Add another boot device to the Boot Order table.
• Click OK to finish.
What to Do Next
Include the boot policy in a service profile and/or template.
After a server is associated with a service profile that includes this boot policy, you can verify the actual boot
order in the Boot Order Details area on the General tab for the server.
Virtual Media Boot
You can configure a boot policy to boot one or more servers from a virtual media device that is accessible
from the server. A virtual media device mimics the insertion of a physicalCD-ROM disk (read-only) or floppy
disk (read-write) into a server. This type of server boot is typically used to manually install operating systems
on a server.
