Configuring System Boot Options

This section discusses the system boot options you can configure on entry-class HP Integrity servers, including the boot options list and the autoboot setting for the server.

The boot options list is a list of loadable items available for you to choose from the EFI Boot Manager menu. Ordinarily the boot options list includes the EFI Shell and one or more operating system loaders.

The following example includes boot options for HP OpenVMS, Microsoft Windows, HP-UX, and the EFI Shell. The final item in the EFI Boot Manager menu, the Boot Configuration menu, is not a boot option. The Boot Configuration menu allows server configuration through a maintenance menu.
