Booting HP OpenVMS (EFI Shell)
From the EFI Shell environment, to boot HP OpenVMS on a device first access the EFI System
Partition (for example
fs0:
) for the root device and enter
\efi\vms\vms_loader
to initiate the
OpenVMS loader.
Step 1. Access the EFI Shell environment for the server on which you want to boot HP OpenVMS.
Log in to the iLO MP and enter
CO
to choose 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.
Step 2. At the EFI Shell environment, issue the
map
command to list all currently mapped bootable devices.
The bootable file systems of interest typically are listed as
fs0:
,
fs1:
, and so on.
Step 3. Access the EFI System Partition (
fs X :
where
X
is the file system number) for the device from which
you want to boot HP OpenVMS.
For example, enter
fs2:
to access the EFI System Partition for the bootable file system number
2
.
The EFI Shell prompt changes to reflect the file system currently accessed.
Also, the file system number might change each time it is mapped (for example, when the server
boots, or when the
map -r
command is issued).
Step 4. When accessing the EFI System Partition for the desired boot device, issue the
\efi\vms\vms_loader
command to initiate the
vms_loader.efi
loader on the device you are
accessing.
fs5:> \efi\vms\vms_loader.efi
