A system and method for determining a designated boot volume of a computer system coupled to a SAN is disclosed. The computer system is configured to boot from a logical volume on the SAN using a corresponding bus interface.

The code is executable to determine whether or not the computer system is configured to boot from that logical volume and to determine configuration information stored on the identified logical volumes.
