nPartition Administrator's Guide, Second Edition

2. Access the EFI System Partition (fsX: where X is the file system number) for the device
from which you want to boot HP OpenVMS.
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 OpenVMS loader is \efi\vms\vms_loader.efi and it should
be on the device you are accessing.
3. At the EFI Shell environment, use the bcfg command to manage the boot options list.
You can also accomplish this step by using the \efi\vms\vms_bcfg.efi and
\efi\vms\vms_show.efi utilities, which are available on the EFI System Partition for
HP OpenVMS. Both vms_bcfg and vms_show are unique utilities for OpenVMS I64. The
vms_bcfg utility differs from the bcfg EFI command in that vms_bcfg enables you to
specify boot devices using VMS-style device names.
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 system.
• 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\vms\vms_loader.efi "HP OpenVMS"adds
an HP OpenVMS item as the first entry in the boot options list.
See the help bcfg command for details.
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, type
X at the Main Menu.
