For example:

Boot From a File. Select a Volume

NO VOLUME LABEL [Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(20)/Ata(Primary,Master)/CDROM

CD_FORMAT [Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(20)/Ata(Secondary,Master)/CDROM

Removable Media Boot [Acpi(HWP0002,500)/Pci(20)/Ata(Secondary,Master)

Load File [EFI Shell [Built-in]]

Load File [Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(30)/Mac(00306E4C4F1A)]

Exit

Where:

NO VOLUME LABEL: A hard drive. When you format a hard drive, the EFI tools provide an option to LABEL the disk. In this example, the volume is not labelled.

CD_FORMAT: The label created for the disk currently inside the DVD drive.

Removable Media Boot: Allows you to boot from a removable media drive (CD/DVD drive). This option does not support booting from a specific file on a specific CD.

Load Files: The EFI Shell and the LAN.

Add a Boot Option

Use this option to add items to the EFI boot menu.

This option displays the file systems that are on your system and lets you browse these file systems for applications or drivers that are executable. Executable files end with the

.efiextension. You can also select remote boot (LAN) options that have been configured on the network. The option you select is added to the EFI boot menu.

If you add a new drive to your system, you must manually add its boot options list to make it a bootable device.

When adding a boot option that already exists in the Boot Manager list of boot options, you can choose whether to create a new option or modify the existing one.

To modify an existing option, change the boot option name or add boot option arguments to the existing option.

NOTE: If you create a new boot option for an already existing option, multiple instances of the same boot option exist.

For example:

Add a Boot Option. Select a Volume

NO VOLUME LABEL [Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(20)/Ata(Primary,Master)/CDROM

Removable Media Boot [Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(20)/Ata(Secondary,Master)

Load File [EFI Shell [Built-in]]

Load File [Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(30)/Mac(00306E4C4F1A)]

Exit

Where:

NO VOLUME LABEL: A hard drive. You can search through the disk for bootable applications to add to the Boot Manager list of Boot options.

Removable Media Boot: Treats the removable media as a bootable device.

INTEGRITY RX3600 specifications

The HP Integrity RX3600 is a high-performance server designed to address the demanding needs of enterprises that require robust computing capabilities, reliability, and scalability. Part of the HP Integrity server family, the RX3600 is built on the Itanium architecture, which is known for its exceptional processing power and advanced features that support mission-critical applications.

One of the main features of the RX3600 is its capability to handle multiple workloads with ease. The server supports up to 64 GB of RAM, allowing for efficient multitasking and enhanced performance in data-intensive environments. Its modular design also enables organizations to scale up their systems by adding additional memory or processors as needed, making it a flexible choice for growing businesses.

The RX3600 is equipped with HP's Integrity Virtual Machines (VMs), which provide virtualization capabilities that allow businesses to run multiple operating systems and applications on a single physical server. This not only maximizes resource utilization but also simplifies management by reducing the number of physical servers required in the data center.

Another significant characteristic of the RX3600 is its advanced reliability features. The server is designed with fault-tolerant components, including redundant power supplies and cooling systems. This ensures that the server remains operational even in the event of hardware failures. Additionally, HP's Error Correction Code (ECC) memory helps detect and correct data corruption, further enhancing the system's reliability.

For security, the HP Integrity RX3600 includes built-in features such as Secure Boot, which ensures that the server boots using only trusted firmware and software. This protects against unauthorized changes and vulnerabilities that could compromise data integrity.

In terms of connectivity, the RX3600 offers multiple I/O options, including advanced networking capabilities that support high-speed data transfer and improved bandwidth. This is critical for organizations that rely on data-intensive applications and need to maintain seamless connectivity.

Furthermore, the server supports a range of operating systems, including HP-UX and Linux, making it adaptable to various enterprise environments. Its robust performance, reliability, and scalability make the HP Integrity RX3600 an ideal choice for businesses looking to optimize their IT infrastructure and support their critical workloads with confidence.
