Jos,

We utilized the latest Emulex drivers directly from Emulex. However we have 
the opposite problem, we actually see duplicates of our LUN's. However, we 
can only load one LUN from each card. Very Confusing. When we finally were 
able to catch up to some EMC techs, and they told us "You can NOT SAN boot 
utilizing Emulex cards". This is after we had the server booting from the 
SAN :). Still trying to obtain the "proper" configuration from them.
