As the scale and complexity of infrastructure deployed in a customer environment increases, the need for consistency, ease of management and agility in responding to the changing needs of the infrastructure consumers becomes a key priority for IT staff. Operational efficiency has become a key business imperative for customers hosting large IT footprint, and the operational efficiency gains are often achieved through automation of repetitive tasks performed by IT staff to deploy, manage, and operate IT infrastructure.

There are several use-cases of infrastructure automation that exist, and in this blog post we will address the aspect of configuration of OS boot for a server from a Storage Area Network (SAN) based storage array. Specifically, we will discuss the procedure for configuring an HPE ProLiant DL Gen10, Gen10 plus and Gen11 servers to boot from a SAN target Logical Unit Number (LUN) using the Redfish® standard DMTF API.
