7.The utility prompts you for a description to include with your boot option entry. By default, the device name is used as the description. You can enter more descriptive information. In the following example, the default is taken:

Enter a short description (do not include quotation marks). Description ["$1$DGA1"]:

efi$bcfg: $1$dga1 (Boot0001) Option successfully added

efi$bcfg: $1$dga1 (Boot0002) Option successfully added

efi$bcfg: $1$dga1 (Boot0003) Option successfully added

efi$bcfg: $1$dga1 (Boot0004) Option successfully added

This display example shows four different FC boot paths were configured for your FC system disk.

8.After you successfully add your boot option, exit the utility by entering E at the prompt.

Enter your choice: E

9.Log out from the DCL level and shut down the I64 system.

10.When you next see the boot option list displayed at your console by EFI, it should look similar to the following (assuming you took the default in step 7). In this example, the device is $1$DGA1 for two dual-ported EVA5000 storage arrays (the four separate boot paths are identified in the display). Figure D-1 (page 245) illustrates the host FC ports (FGA0 and FGB0) on the Integrity server and the corresponding FC SAN/EVA5000 storage controller configuration.

Please select a boot option

$1$dga1 FGA0.5000-1FE1-0011-B15C $1$dga1 FGA0.5000-1FE1-0011-B158 $1$dga1 FGB0.5000-1FE1-0011-B15D $1$dga1 FGB0.5000-1FE1-0011-B159 EFI Shell [Built-in]

The text to the right of $1$dga1 identifies the boot path from the host adapter to the storage controller, where:

FGA0 or FGB0 are the FC ports (also known as host adapters).

Each 5000-1FE1-0011-B15 n number (where n is C, 8, D, or 9, respectively) is the factory-assigned FC storage port 64-bit worldwide identifier (WWID), otherwise known as the FC port name.

If you get confused, simply boot the OpenVMS I64 OE DVD and use the OpenVMS I64 Boot Manager utility to remove the current boot options (option 3) and then to add your boot options again.
