I pretty much followed the instructions from EMC/Emulex documentation:
1) updated to boot BIOS
2) enabled BIOS on HBA
3) create zone so the HBA has only one logical path to the SP
4) created a LUN on the same SP that the HBA has access to
5) disabled local RAID controller on the host
6) Hit ALT-E during POST to configure SAN boot.  Select "Configure
Boot Devices" then selected 1 from "List of Saved Boot Devices".  It
then listed the DID and WWPN of the CLARiiON that is available.  It
then prompted me to "Enter two digits of the starting LUN".  I typed
in 00 and and then it came back with a list of LUNs from LUN #00 to
LUN #05

My question is how do I know which LUN is the one I created in step
4?  Also, should I create a storage group from Navisphere and the LUN
and host in the group between I start messing around with all this?

Any help is appreciated.

There's nothing else for you to do.  You've created your target/lun map in
the HBA BIOS and it will only attempt to boot from this device.
