Procedure 5-57 Configuring Boot Paths and Options (EFI Shell) From the EFI Shell environment, use the bcfg command to add or delete boot options, or to change the order of items in the boot options list. The EFI Shell is available only on HP Integrity systems. 1. Access the EFI Shell environment for the nPartition whose boot paths (the EFI boot options list items) and options you want to configure. Login to the service processor (MP or GSP) and enter CO to access the Console list. Select the nPartition 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. At the EFI Shell environment, use the bcfg command to manage the boot options list for the local nPartition. The bcfg command include the following options for managing the boot options list: • bcfg boot dump - Display all items in the boot options list for the local nPartition. • bcfg boot rm # - Remove the item number specified by # from the boot options list. • bcfg boot mv #a #b - Move the item number specified by #a to the position specified by #b in the boot options list. • bcfg boot add # file.efi "Description" - Add a new boot option to the position in the boot options list specified by #. The new boot option references file.efi and is listed with the title specified by Description. See the help bcfg command for details. 3. Exit the console and service processor interfaces if finished using them. To exit the EFI environment type ^B (Control-B); this exits the nPartition console and returns to the service processor Main Menu. To exit the service processor, type X at the Main Menu. Procedure 5-58 Configuring Boot Paths and Options (HP-UX) From the HP-UX command line you can configure boot options for an nPartition by using the /usr/sbin/setboot or /usr/sbin/parmodify command. NOTE: On HP Integrity systems, the boot options list for only the local nPartition may be displayed and modified. 1. Login to HP-UX running on the nPartition whose boot paths and options you want to configure. On HP-UX B.11.11 nPartition systems, you can configure boot paths for any nPartition in the complex, including remote nPartitions. On HP-UX running on cell-based HP Integrity servers, you can configure boot paths (the EFI boot options list items) for only the local nPartition. Configuring Boot Paths and Options 157
