Booting the Operating System

Booting and Shutting Down HP-UX

 

When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the EFI Boot Manager menu (the main EFI

 

menu). If you are at another EFI menu, choose the Exit option from the submenus until you return

 

to the screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading.

 

From the EFI Boot Manager menu, choose the EFI Shell menu option to access the EFI Shell

 

environment.

Step

2. Access the EFI System Partition (fsX: where X is the file system number) for the device from which

 

you want to boot HP-UX.

Step

3. When accessing the EFI System Partition for the desired boot device, issue the HPUX command to

 

initiate the \EFI\HPUX\HPUX.EFI loader on the device you are accessing.

Step

4. Boot to the HP-UX Boot Loader prompt (HPUX>) by pressing any key within the 10 seconds given for

 

interrupting the HP-UX boot process. Use the HPUX.EFI loader to boot HP-UX in single-user mode

 

in the next step.

 

After you press a key, the HPUX.EFI interface (the HP-UX Boot Loader prompt, HPUX>) launches.

 

For help using the HPUX.EFI loader, enter the help command. To return to the EFI Shell, enter

 

exit.
