Hi Team,

We are setting up a HP C3000 Blade server for Windows server 2003 R2 Server
Boot from SAN. There is no local HDD connected with the bays.
We have the following hardware setup:
HP Blade : C3000 series with HP1/10 GB VC-Enet module and HP 4 GB VC-FC module
Storage : HP StorageWork MSA 2000
Switch: HP StorageWorks 8/8 SAN Switch
HBA: Emulex LPe1105-4 GB FC HBA
Installation method: HP SmartCD setup and windows CD setup
HBA Emulex BIOS setup" FC point to point' and tried with other available
options as well.

Issue: Initially Blade server detects the LUN (given as LUN 05) mapped with
WWN number. SmartCD also detects the right LUN and starts the installation,
asks for the windows server CD and shows the setup as succesfull but on
reboot, server shows an error 'NTLDR missing'. We have tried installing the
Linux on the same setup and works fine with no error. We couldn't able to
find out what could be the possible reason for this issue. Any suggetions,
reference links will we highly appreciated.

Regards,
Rohit
