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)” on page 155
• “Booting HP OpenVMS (EFI Shell)” on page 156
CAUTION ACPI Configuration for HP OpenVMS I64 Must Be default
On cell-based HP Integrity servers, to boot the HP OpenVMS OS, an nPartition ACPI
configuration value must be 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; otherwise, booting will fail
and report the INCONSTATE code when OpenVMS is launched.
To set the ACPI configuration for HP OpenVMS I64:
1. At the EFI Shell interface enter the acpiconfig default command.
2. Enter the reset command for the nPartition to reboot with the proper (default)
configuration for OpenVMS.
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.
Step 1. Access the EFI Boot Manager menu for the system on which you want to boot HP OpenVMS.
Log in to the management processor, 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 you are at another EFI menu, select the Exit option from the submenus until you return
to the screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading.
Step 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.
Step 3. Press
Enter to initiate booting using the selected boot option.
Step 4. Exit the console and management processor interfaces when you have finished using them.
To exit the EFI environment press
^B (Control+B); this exits the system console and returns to the
management processor Main Menu. To exit the management processor, enter X at the Main Menu.
