Adding HP-UX to the Boot Options List
This section describes how to add an HP-UX entry to the system boot options list.
You can add the
\EFI\HPUX\HPUX.EFI
loader to the boot options list from the EFI Shell or EFI
Boot Configuration menu (or in some versions of EFI, the Boot Options Maintenance Menu).
NOTE:
On HP Integrity servers, the operating system installer automatically adds an entry to the
boot options list.
Adding the HP-UX Boot Option
This procedure adds an HP-UX item to the boot options list from the EFI Shell.
To add an HP-UX boot option when logged in to HP-UX, use the
setboot
command. For details,
see the setboot( 1M )manpage.
1.
Access the EFI Shell environment.
Log in to iLO 2 for Integrity 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
Exit
from the submenus until you return to
the screen with the
EFI Boot Manager
heading.
From the EFI Boot Manager menu, choose
EFI Shell
to access the EFI Shell environment.
2.
Access the EFI System Partition (
fsX:
where
X
is the file system number) for the device from
which you want to boot HP-UX.
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.
The full path for the HP-UX loader is
\EFI\HPUX\HPUX.EFI
and it should be on the device
you are accessing.
3.
At the EFI Shell environment, use the
bcfg
command to manage the boot options list.
The
bcfg
command includes the following options for managing the boot options list:
•
bcfg boot dump
– Display all items in the boot options list for the server.
•
bcfg boot rm #
– Remove the item number specified by
#
from the boot options list.
