ABSTRACT:
A method and system for booting a server and/or server blade in a network is provided. The system includes, a boot server that is used to store plural WWPNs, an active profile for the server and a boot schedule, wherein a HBA registers a default WWPN and/or HBA profile with the boot server and if the HBA is configured to boot using a management application, the boot server provides a WWPN to the HBA. The management application includes, a graphical user interface for creating a LUN for a storage system and assigning the LUN to be a boot LUN, wherein the graphical user interface can access a boot server for booting a server.
