Adding HP OpenVMS to the Boot Options List

On HP Integrity servers, you can use the following procedures to manage boot options list entries for HP OpenVMS.

You can add the \efi\vms\vms_loader.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).

NOTE	On HP Integrity servers, the operating system installer automatically adds an entry to the boot
	options list.

Adding an HP OpenVMS Boot Option

This procedure adds an HP OpenVMS item to the boot options list from the EFI Shell.

To add an HP OpenVMS boot option when logged in to OpenVMS, use the @SYS$MANAGER:BOOT_OPTIONS.COM command.

Step 1. Access the EFI Shell environment.

Log in to the iLO MP and enter CO to access the system console.

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.
