•To set Windows boot options see “Adding Microsoft Windows to the Boot Options List” (page 132)

•To set Linux boot options see “Adding Linux to the Boot Options List” (page 135)

To manage the boot options list for each system, use the EFI Shell, the EFI Boot Configuration menu, or operating system utilities.

At the EFI Shell, the bcfg command supports listing and managing the boot options list for all operating systems, except Microsoft Windows. On HP Integrity systems with Windows installed, the \MSUtil\nvrboot.efi utility is provided for managing Windows boot options from the EFI Shell. For HP Integrity systems with OpenVMS installed, the \efi\vms\vms_bcfg.efi and \efi\vms\vms_show utilities are provided for managing OpenVMS boot options.

Operating system utilities for managing the boot options list include the HP-UX setboot command and the HP OpenVMS @SYS$MANAGER:BOOT_OPTIONS.COM command.

The EFI Boot Configuration menu provides the Add a Boot Option, Delete Boot Option(s), and Change Boot Order menu items (use this method if you must add an EFI Shell entry to the boot options list).

Autoboot Setting

The autoboot setting determines, at startup, whether a system automatically loads the first item in the boot options list, or remains at the EFI Boot Manager menu. When autoboot is enabled, EFI loads the first item in the boot options list after a designated timeout period.

Configure the autoboot setting for an HP Integrity system using either the autoboot EFI Shell command, or the Set Auto Boot TimeOut menu item from the EFI Boot Configuration menu.

To disable autoboot from the EFI Shell, issue the autoboot off command.

To enable autoboot with the default timeout value issue the autoboot on command.

To enable autoboot with a timeout of 60 seconds issue the autoboot time 60 command.

To set autoboot from HP-UX issue the setboot command.

To issue autoboot from HP-UX issue the setboot -b on command.

To disable autoboot issue the setboot -b off command.

Booting and Shutting Down HP-UX

This section covers booting and shutting down HP-UX on entry class HP Integrity servers.

•To add an HP-UX entry to the boot options list, see “Adding HP-UX to the Boot Options List” (page 124).

•To boot HP-UX, use the following procedures:

—“Booting HP-UX From the EFI Boot Manager” (page 125) describes the standard ways to boot HP-UX. Typically this results in booting HP-UX in multi-user mode.

—“Booting HP-UX in Single-User Mode” (page 127) describes how to boot HP-UX in single-user mode.

—“Booting HP-UX in LVM-Maintenance Mode” (page 128) describes how to boot HP-UX in LVM-maintenance mode

•To shut down the HP-UX operating system, see “Shutting Down HP-UX” (page 128).

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).
