Abstract
An information handling system includes a communication device and a service processor. The communication device includes a first terminal, and a second terminal to communicate with a network storage array. The service processor includes a first terminal to receive configuration settings for the communication device, and a second terminal to provide the configuration settings to the communication device. The service processor configures the communication device based on the configuration settings during a first boot sequence of the information handling system. A power-on self test of a basic input/output system of the information handling system is stalled while the service processor configures the communication device based on the configuration settings, and the information handling system is booted from a workload on a storage array identified in the configuration settings without using a second boot sequence of the information handling system.
