Procedure 5-61 Configuring Autoboot Options (EFI Shell)
From the EFI Shell environment configure the autoboot setting for the local nPartition by using
the autoboot command. The EFI Shell is available only on HP Integrity systems.
1. Access the EFI Shell environment for the nPartition whose autoboot options you want to
configure.
Login to the service processor (MP or GSP) 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 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. At the EFI Shell environment, use the autoboot command to enable or disable autoboot
for the nPartition.
When autoboot is enabled for an nPartition in an HP Integrity server, items in the boot
options list are attempted to be loaded automatically at boot time, starting with the first
item in the boot options list.
Enter the autoboot command with no arguments to list the current autoboot configuration
for the local nPartition.
You also can specify off to disable autoboot, or specify a timeout duration to enable autoboot
with a specific number of seconds during which automatic booting from the boot options
list can be canceled.
For example: autoboot off to disable autoboot, or autoboot 60 to enable autoboot
with a 60-second timeout period.
See the help autoboot command for details.
3. Exit the console and service processor interfaces if finished using them.
To exit the EFI environment type ^B (Control-B); this exits the nPartition console and returns
