SAN ID Parameter

The SANID boot parameter is added to the OS images to identify a specific target related to a particular SAN logical unit number (LUN) or Disk. This provision ensures that the specified LUN or Disk is explicitly selected. SANID boot parameter holds the identifier value that is associated with the specified Disk or LUN like World Wide Name (WWN) or World Wide Identifier (WWID) based on Network Address Authority (NAA) format.

The supported formats (with example values) for SANID are:

value
naa.60a9800064762f34694a6e3651697759
60a9800064762f34694a6e3651697759

For backward compatibility, support for the SANID value in the attribute=value format is available as shown below:

TargetLUN=naa.60a9800064762f34694a6e3651697759

The support for providing the SANID parameter using EUI format is dropped from this release.

When the SANID value is empty, the installation scripts use the first available local disk for the installation per the existing behavior. Also, this disk must be the first disk in the BIOS boot sequence.
