Configure boot paths and options
CAUTION On HP Integrity servers, when configuring Windows boot options you must do so from
EFI by using the MSUtil\nvrboot.efi utility to import boot options from the
EFI\Microsoft\WINNT50\Boot00... file on the device from which Windows is to be
loaded.
CAUTION With HP Integrity mid-range systems, if Windows is installed on a drive attached to an
IO chassis (rather than the core IO card), you must run the “search all” command from
the EFI prompt any time the partition is reset (for example, using the management
processor RS command), otherwise the boot drive will not be found when the partition
boots.
Configure boot paths and boot options using any of the following procedures:
