Adding HP-UX to the Boot Options List
This section describes how to add an HP-UX entry to the system boot options list.
You can add the \EFI\HPUX\HPUX.EFI loader to the boot options list from the EFI Shell or the
EFI Boot Configuration Menu, (or in some versions of EFI, the Boot Options Maintenance
Menu). The operating system installer automatically adds an entry to the boot options list.
To add an HP-UX boot option when logged in to HP-UX, use the setboot command. For more
information see the setboot(1M) manpage.
To add an HP-UX item to the boot options list from the EFI Shell, follow these steps:
1. Access the EFI Shell environment.
Log in to the iLO MP and enter the CO command to access the system console.
When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the EFI Boot Manager menu. If you
are at another EFI menu, select the Exit option from the submenus until you return to the
screen with the EFI Boot Manager title.
From the EFI Boot Manager menu, select EFI Shell to access the EFI Shell environment.
2. Access the EFI System Partition (fsX where X is the file system number) for the device from
which you want to boot HP-UX.
For example, enter fs2: to access the EFI System Partition for the bootable file system
number 2. The EFI Shell prompt changes to reflect the file system currently accessed.
The full path for the HP-UX loader is \EFI\HPUX\HPUX.EFI. It is on the device you are
accessing.
3. At the EFI Shell environment, use the bcfg command to manage the boot options list.
The bcfg command includes the following options for managing the boot options list:
• bcfg boot dump — Displays all items in the boot options list for the system.
• bcfg boot rm # — Removes the item number specified by # from the boot options
list.
• bcfg boot mv #a #b — Moves the item number specified by #a to the position
specified by #b in the boot options list.
• bcfg boot add # file.efi "Description" — Adds a new boot option to the position
in the boot options list specified by #. The new boot option references file.efi and is listed
with the title specified by Description.
For example, bcfg boot add 1 \EFI\HPUX\HPUX.EFI "HP-UX 11i"adds an
HP-UX 11i item as the first entry in the boot options list.
See the help bcfg command for more information.
4. Exit the console and iLO MP interfaces.
To exit the system console and return to the iLO MP Main Menu, type Control-B. To exit
the iLO MP, type X at the main menu.
