System Configuration
There are three tools available to assist you in setting up your system
configuration - the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI), Management
Processor (MP) and Baseboard Management Controller (BMC). This
section gives you a brief introduction to these tools. For complete
information, refer to the System Configuration chapter in the
zx6000/rx2600 Operation & Maintenance Guide found at
http://www.hp.com/go/bizsupport
web page.
Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI)
The file system supported by the Extensible Firmware Interface is based
on the File Allocation Table (FAT) file system. EFI encompasses the use
of FAT-32 for a system partition. The system partition is required on a
bootable disk for the IA-64 platform.
The system partition can contain directories, data files, and EFI images.
The EFI system firmware may search the \EFI directory of the EFI
system partition, EFI volume, to find possible EFI images that can be
loaded. The HP-UX bootloader is one example of an EFI image.
Complete information on the commands used by the EFI shell are
provided in the zx6000/rx2600 Operation & Maintenance Guide found at
http://www.hp.com/go/bizsupport web page. You can obtain a detailed
description of the commands online by typing
help
and the command
name at the EFI shell prompt. For example:
shell> help date
Management Processor (MP)
First, make sure that you have the Management Card installed in your
system. To determine if the card is installed, look at the back panel of
your system. You will see a 25-pin Serial Port if the Management Card is
installed. See Figure 1-1 on page 21. Complete information on the
Management Processor is found in the System Configuration section of
the zx6000/rx2600 Operation & Maintenance Guide at
