Booting HP OpenVMS To boot HP OpenVMS I64 on a cell-based HP Integrity server use either of the following procedures. • "Booting HP OpenVMS (EFI Boot Manager)" (page 122) • "Booting HP OpenVMS (EFI Shell)" (page 122) CAUTION: ACPI Configuration for HP OpenVMS I64 Must Be default On cell-based HP Integrity servers, to boot the HP OpenVMS OS an nPartition must have its ACPI configuration value set to default. At the EFI Shell interface, enter the acpiconfig command with no arguments to list the current ACPI configuration. If the acpiconfig value is not set to default, then OpenVMS cannot boot; in this situation you must reconfigure acpiconfig or booting will fail and report the INCONSTATE code when launching OpenVMS. To set the ACPI configuration for HP OpenVMS I64: At the EFI Shell interface enter the acpiconfig default command, and then enter the reset command for the nPartition to reboot with the proper (default) configuration for OpenVMS. Procedure 5-16 Booting HP OpenVMS (EFI Boot Manager) From the EFI Boot Manager menu, select an item from the boot options list to boot HP OpenVMS using the selected boot option. 1. Access the EFI Boot Manager menu for the system on which you want to boot HP OpenVMS. Log in to the management processor (MP) and enter CO to select the system console. When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the EFI Boot Manager menu (the main EFI menu). If at another EFI menu, select the Exit option from the sub-menus until you return to the screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading. 2. At the EFI Boot Manager menu, select an item from the boot options list. Each item in the boot options list references a specific boot device and provides a specific set of boot options or arguments to use when booting the device. 3. Press Enter to initiate booting using the selected boot option. 4. Exit the console and management processor interfaces when finished using them. To exit the EFI environment type ^B (Control-B); this exits the system console and returns to the management processor Main Menu. To exit the management processor, type X at the Main Menu. Procedure 5-17 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. 1. Access the EFI Shell environment for the system on which you want to boot HP OpenVMS. Log in to the management processor (MP) and enter CO to select the system console. When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the EFI Boot Manager menu (the main EFI menu). If at another EFI menu, select the Exit option from the sub-menus until you return to the screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading. From the EFI Boot Manager menu, select the EFI Shell menu option to access the EFI Shell environment. 2.
