nPartition Administrator's Guide, Second Edition
NOTE: HP-UX 11i Version 1 (B.11.11) does not support using CLM. Before booting HP-UX 11i
Version 1 on an nPartition, you must ensure that the CLM parameter for each cell in the nPartition
is set to zero (0). Although you might be able to boot HP-UX 11i Version 1 on an nPartition with
CLM configured, any memory configured as cell local is unusable, and such a configuration is
untested and unsupported.
HP-UX 11i Version 2 (B.11.23) and HP-UX 11i Version 3 (B.11.31) support using CLM. The optimal
CLM settings depend on the applications and workload the OS is running.
To check CLM configuration details from an OS, use Partition Manager or the parstatus
command. For example, the parstatus -V -c# command and parstatus -V -p# command
report the CLM amount requested and CLM amount allocated for the specified cell (-c#, where
# is the cell number) or the specified nPartition (-p#, where # is the nPartition number).
To check CLM configuration details from the EFI Shell on a cell-based HP Integrity server, use
the info mem command. If the amount of "NonInterleaved Memory" reported is less than 512
MB then no CLM is configured for any cells in the nPartition (and the indicated amount of
noninterleaved memory is used by system firmware). If the info mem command reports more
than 512 MB of noninterleaved memory then use use Partition Manager or the parstatus
command to confirm the CLM configuration details.
To set the CLM configuration, use Partition Manager or the parmodify command.
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 EFI
Boot Configuration menu (or in some versions of EFI, the Boot Option Maintenance menu).
NOTE: On HP Integrity servers, the operating system installer automatically adds an entry to
the boot options list.
Procedure 5-6 Adding an HP-UX Boot Option
This procedure adds an HP-UX item to the boot options list from the EFI Shell.
To add an HP-UX boot option when logged in to HP-UX use the setboot command. For details
refer to the setboot(1M) manpage.
1. Access the EFI Shell environment.
Log in to the management processor and enter CO to access the system console.
When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the EFI Boot Manager menu (the main
EFI menu). If at another EFI menu, select the Exit option from the sub-menus 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. 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.
