Abstract
A system for pre-execution environment (PXE) booting a storage processor from a peer storage processor allows for the ability to reboot and/or restart the storage processor without an externally connected PXE server. In response to a reboot request of the storage processor, the peer storage processor pushes an operating system boot image and/or other information to the storage processor for PXE booting the storage processor, and vice versa. The system may also operate with multiple coupled computers.
