To manage the boot options list for each server, use the UEFI Shell, the Boot Maintenance Manager,
or operating system utilities.
•
Autoboot setting
The
autoboot
setting determines whether a server automatically loads the first item in the boot
options list or remains at the UEFI Front Page menu. With autoboot enabled, UEFI loads the first item
in the boot options list after a designated timeout period.
Configure the autoboot setting for an HPE Integrity server using either the UEFI Shell
autoboot
command or the Set Time Out Value menu item from the Boot Maintenance Manager.
Examples of autoboot commands for HP-UX:
◦ Disable autoboot from the UEFI Shell by issuing
autoboot off
,
◦ Enable autoboot with the default timeout value by issuing
autoboot on
,
◦ Enable autoboot with a timeout of 60 seconds by issuing
autoboot 60
,
◦ Set autoboot from HP-UX using
setboot
,
◦ Enable autoboot from HP-UX using
setboot -b on
,
◦ Disable autoboot from HP-UX using
setboot -b off
.

autoboot
command, enter
