HP OpenVMS 8.x manual Shell reconnect -r Shell map -r

1.To ensure that EFI can access the DVD, enter the following commands at the EFI Shell prompt of a entry-class or single-cell Integrity server. Enter the commands in the order shown. (The EFI Shell prompt may not necessarily be Shell> as in this example; it could be a prompt that reflects the current file system, such as fs0:>.)

Shell> reconnect -r Shell> map -r

For a multiple-cell nPartition on a cell-based server, use the search allcommand instead of the reconnect -rcommand, followed by the map -rcommand. See your hardware documentation for more information about EFI commands.

The reconnect -rcommand discovers any devices added after booting the server. The search all command discovers all devices including any that were not in the boot options list or connected to the core cell’s I/O chassis. (On large server systems, the search all command could take significant time to complete. You can reduce the search time by specifying a more directed search, such as for a specific I/O chassis connected to a cell or a specific PCI card in a chassis. For more information, see the help information provided for the search command.)

The map -rcommand remaps and rebuilds the list of known devices that have a bootable EFI system partition. For a multiple-cell nPartition on a cell-based server, if you insert the DVD after EFI is loaded, you must use the search command to allow EFI to detect the inserted DVD; otherwise, EFI would not recognize the DVD in the DVD drive. When EFI detects a valid, bootable DVD in the DVD drive, it maps an fs device to it and lists that device in the mapping table displayed by the map -rcommand.
