Booting Microsoft Windows
You can boot the Windows Server 2003 OS on an HP Integrity server by using the EFI Boot
Manager to choose the appropriate Windows item from the boot options list.
See “Shutting Down Microsoft Windows” (page 105) for details on shutting down the Windows
OS.
CAUTION:
ACPI Configuration for Windows Must Be
windows
On cell-based HP Integrity servers, to boot the Windows OS, an nPartition ACPI configuration
value must be set to windows.
At the EFI Shell, enter the acpiconfig command with no arguments to list the current ACPI
configuration. If the acpiconfig value is not set to windows, then Windows cannot boot. In this
situation, you must reconfigure acpiconfig; otherwise, booting will be interrupted with a panic
when Windows is launched.
To set the ACPI configuration for Windows: At the EFI Shell enter the acpiconfig windows
command, and then enter the reset command for the nPartition to reboot with the proper
(windows) configuration for Windows.
