4. Exit the console and management processor interfaces if you are finished using them.
To exit the BCH environment, press ^B (control B); this exits the nPartition console and returns
to the management processor Main Menu. To exit the management processor, enter x at the
Main Menu.
Procedure 3 HP-UX Booting (EFI Boot Manager)
From the EFI Boot Manager menu, select an item from the boot options list to boot HP-UX using
that boot option. The EFI Boot Manager is available only on HP Integrity servers.
See “ACPI Configuration for HP-UX Must Be default” (page 88) for required configuration details.
1. Access the EFI Boot Manager menu for the nPartition on which you want to boot HP-UX.
Log in to the management processor, and enter CO to access the Console list. Select the
nPartition console.
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, select the Exit option from the submenus until you
return to the screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading.
2. At the EFI Boot Manager menu, select an item from the boot options list.
Each item in the boot options list references a specific boot device and provides a specific set
of boot options or arguments to be used when booting the device.
3. Press Enter to initiate booting using the chosen boot option.
4. Exit the console and management processor interfaces if you are finished using them.
To exit the EFI environment, press ^B (Control+B); this exits the nPartition console and returns
to the management processor Main Menu. To exit the management processor, enter X at the
Main Menu.
Procedure 4 HP-UX Booting (EFI Shell)
From the EFI Shell environment, to boot HP-UX on a device first access the EFI System Partition for
the root device (for example fs0:) and then enter HPUX to initiate the loader. The EFI Shell is
available only on HP Integrity servers.
See “ACPI Configuration for HP-UX Must Be default” (page 88) for required configuration details.
1. Access the EFI Shell environment for the nPartition on which you want to boot HP-UX.
Log in to the management processor, and enter CO to access the Console list. Select the
nPartition console.
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, select the Exit option from the submenus until you
return to the screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading.
From the EFI Boot Manager menu, select the EFI Shell menu option to access the EFI Shell
environment.
2. At the EFI Shell environment, issue the acpiconfig command to list the current ACPI
configuration for the local nPartition.
On cell-based HP Integrity servers, to boot the HP-UX OS, an nPartition ACPI configuration
value must be set to default. If the acpiconfig value is not set to default, then HP-UX
cannot boot; in this situation you must reconfigure acpiconfig or booting will be interrupted
with a panic when launching the HP-UX kernel.
To set the ACPI configuration for HP-UX:
a. At the EFI Shell interface enter the acpiconfig default command.
b. Enter the reset command for the nPartition to reboot with the proper (default)
configuration for HP-UX.
