Configure System Boot Options
This section discusses the configurable system boot options on the HP Integrity BL60p server blade, including
the boot options list and the autoboot setting for the server.
• Boot Options List
The boot options list is a list of loadable items available for you to choose from the EFI Boot Manager
menu. Ordinarily the boot options list includes the EFI Shell and one or more operating system loaders.
The following example includes boot options for HP OpenVMS, Microsoft Windows, HP-UX, and the EFI
Shell. The final item in the EFI Boot Manager menu, the Boot Option Maintenance Menu, is not a boot
option. The Boot Option Maintenance Menu allows system configuration through a maintenance menu.
EFI Boot Manager ver 1.10 [14.61] Please select a boot option
EFI Shell [Built-in]

NOTE In some versions of EFI, the Boot Option Maintenance Menu menu is listed as the Boot
Configuration Menu.
To manage the boot options list for each system, use the EFI Shell, the EFI Boot Option Maintenance
Menu, or operating system utilities.
At the EFI Shell, use the bcfg command to support list and manage the boot options list for HP-UX.
The EFI Boot Option Maintenance Menu provides the
Add a Boot Option, Delete Boot Option(s), and Change
Boot Order
menu items (use this method if you must add an EFI Shell entry to the boot options list).
Operating system utilities for managing the boot options list include the HP-UX setboot command.
Refer to the following section for details:
— Setting HP-UX boot options (see “Add HP-UX to the Boot Options List” on page 105)
• Autoboot Setting
The autoboot setting determines, at startup, whether a system automatically loads the first item in the
boot options list, or remains at the EFI Boot Manager menu. With autoboot enabled, EFI loads the first
item in the boot options list after a designated timeout period.
Configure the autoboot setting for an HP Integrity system using either the autoboot EFI Shell command,
or the Set Auto Boot Time Out menu item from the EFI Boot Configuration menu.
