Tip: • When starting the remote console, a warning message may be displayed. For detaills, see Remote Console User's Guide. • When the type of server blade is CB 520H A1/B1 with BMC of before 01-27, the login screen of Web console is displayed. For details, see Remote Console User's Guide.

7. The system console can be connected the server blade for starting the remote console. And then start setup menus of UEFI, disk array utilities, Emulex PXE BIOS, iSCSISELECT utilities, and mezzanine card BIOS utilities after starting the remote console.

UEFI

UEFI (Unified EFI) is the Firmware for a server blade. You can use a server blade as default setting. To change the boot order or other settings, see Chapter 2, UEFI setup menu.

Disk array utilities

One of the three utilities is used depending on the model or RAID controller. Utilities include Software RAID BIOS (SWR BIOS), Integrated RAID, and MegaRAID WebBIOS. Find a utility for your model and disk array controller in the following table, and set the disk array referring to the specified chapter.

PXE boot

Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) boot is the function that loads the image of OS or installer through network. Performs the setting of Boot Order in Emulex PXE BIOS or UEFI menus for using PXE boot. For the details, see Chapter 8, BIOS settings for PXE boot. iSCSI

The iSCSI protocol defines the rules and processes for the iSCSI command send and receive through TCP/IP network while storages communicate with server blades. The iSCSI protocol needs to have both initiator and target as a pair. Server blades need to have the iSCSI initiator to access directly to the iSCSI target which storages have.

UEFI and BIOS Configuration Overview 1-5 Hitachi Compute Blade 500 Series EFI User's Guide iSCSI initiator The iSCSI initiator requires read/write transaction with iSCSI commands to storage devices connected by the iSCSI protocol. This transaction is generally done through network interface cards (NICs) on servers. There are two types of iSCSI initiator; one is software initiator which uses the initiator function of operating system and the other is hardware initiator which uses the initiator function of Host Bus Adaptor (HBA). iSCSI target The iSCSI target sends the data to the iSCSI initiator by controlling the physical or logical volume of disks or RAID. Server blades recognise the external storage devices, which is connected through LAN physically, as local SCSI data/boot devices by connecting through iSCSI protocol. • iSCSI Data devices Dedicated data area for server blades is available on the external storage devices. See Data device setting on page 9-12 for details. • iSCSI Boot devices OS boot from the device on the external storage devices is available. See Boot device setting on page 9-9 for details. Emulex PXE BIOS and iSCSISELECT Utility is used for iSCSI settings. For details, see Chapter 9, iSCSI settings.

Fibre channel mezzanine card BIOS

Fibre channel mezzanine card BIOS is for a fibre channel mezzanine card connecting to an external storage device through a fibre channel switch module. The fibre channel mezzanine card is installed in a server blade. For more details about the specifications and restrictions, see the manual attached to the fibre channel mezzanine card.
