User Service Guide, Third Edition - HP Integrity rx4640 Server

1. Access the EFI Shell environment.
To access the server console, log in to the iLO MP and enter CO.
When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the EFI Boot Manager menu (the main
EFI menu). If you are at another EFI menu, choose Exit from the submenus until you return
to the screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading.
From the EFI Boot Manager menu, choose 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 and it should be on the device
you are accessing.
3. To manage the boot options list, enter the bcfg command at the EFI Shell environment.
The bcfg command includes the following options for managing the boot options list:
• bcfg boot dump — Display all items in the boot options list for the server.
• bcfg boot rm # — Remove the item number specified by # from the boot options
list.
• bcfg boot mv #a #b — Move the item number specified by #a to the position specified
by #b in the boot options list.
• bcfg boot add # file.efi "Description" — Add 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.
For details, see the help bcfg command.
4. Exit the console and iLO MP interfaces if you are finished using them.
To exit the system console and return to the iLO MP Main Menu, press Ctrl+B. To exit the
iLO MP, enter X at the Main Menu.
