To recover and finish the installation, you must create a new boot entry that includes the/NOVESAoption. To do this, complete the following steps: 1. From the EFI Shell, go to the MSUTIL directory: fs1: cd msutil 2. Run the nvrboot.efi utility: fs1: nvrboot EFI displays the Boot Options menu: NVRBOOT: OS Boot Options Maintenance Tool [Version 5.2.3683] * 1. Windows Server 2003, Enterprise 2.

Select the first option, Windows Server 2003, Enterprise, by entering 1. The first boot option is copied and should appear as a new item at the end of the list. 5. Enter m to modify. EFI prompts you to select which boot option you want to modify. 6. Select the new boot option by typing the number that represents its order in the list (the exact number can vary from system to system). EFI then prompts you to specify which loader variable you want to modify: Enter VAR to modify:LoadIdentifier = Windows Server 2003, EnterpriseOsLoadOptions = /redirectEfiOsLoaderFilePath = cf5f2ddc-b885-11d7-b831-000000000000 :: \efi\microsoft\winnt50\ia64ldr.efiOsLoaderFilePath = e605a034-b885-11d7-b831-000000000000 :: \windows 7. Select the second option, OsLoadOptions, by entering 2. 8. Enter the line exactly as it currently appears, then add the /NOVESA option at the end. For example, for the example shown in step 6, you would enter: OsLoadOptions = /redirect /novesa then press Enter. 9. The EFI displays the boot loader options again (with the /NOVESA option): Enter VAR to modify: LoadIdentifier = Windows Server 2003, Enterprise OsLoadOptions = /redirect /novesa EfiOsLoaderFilePath = cf5f2ddc-b885-11d7-b831-000000000000 :: \efi\microsoft\winnt50\ia64ldr.efi OsLoaderFilePath = e605a034-b885-11d7-b831-000000000000 :: \windows 10.

Installing a Windows guest on an HP Integrity Virtual Machine host HP Virtual Machines (HPVM) is a soft partitioning and virtualization technology that provides operating system isolation with CPU allocation and shared I/O. HPVM enables a single Integrity server to emulate multiple virtual machines running distinct operating systems and environments. The Virtual Machines solution consists of two components: • A VM host (the physical system on which the virtual machines reside) • One or more virtual machines, also known as guests Virtual machines, or guests, are abstractions of real, physical machines. They are fully loaded, operational systems, complete with operating system, system management utilities, applications, and networks, all running in the virtual machine environment that you set up for them. You boot and manage guests using the same storage media and procedures that you would if the guest operating system were running on its own dedicated physical hardware platform. 54 Installing the OS

1.
From the EFI Shell, go to the
MSUTIL
directory:
fs1: cd msutil
2.
Run the
nvrboot.efi
utility:
fs1: nvrboot
EFI displays the Boot Options menu:

3.
Enter
c
to copy.
EFI prompts you to select which OS boot option to copy.
4.
Select the first option,
Windows Server 2003, Enterprise

to modify. EFI prompts you to select which boot option you want to modify.
6.
Select the new boot option by typing the number that represents its order in the list (the
exact number can vary from system to system). EFI then prompts you to specify which
loader variable you want to modify:
Enter VAR to modify:LoadIdentifier = Windows Server 2003, EnterpriseOsLoadOptions =

7.
Select the second option,
OsLoadOptions
, by entering

8.
Enter the line exactly as it currently appears, then add the
/NOVESA
option at the end. For
example, for the example shown in step 6, you would enter:
OsLoadOptions = /redirect
/novesa
then press
Enter
.
9.
The EFI displays the boot loader options again (with the
/NOVESA
option):
Enter VAR to modify:
LoadIdentifier = Windows Server 2003, Enterprise
OsLoadOptions = /redirect /novesa
EfiOsLoaderFilePath = cf5f2ddc-b885-11d7-b831-000000000000 :: \efi\microsoft\winnt50\ia64ldr.efi
