Booting HP OpenVMS (EFI Shell)
From the EFI Shell environment, to boot HP OpenVMS on a device first access the EFI System
Partition for the root device (for example fs0:), and enter \efi\vms\vms_loader to initiate the
OpenVMS loader.
Step 1. Access the EFI Shell environment 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.
From the EFI Boot Manager menu, select the EFI Shell menu option to access the EFI Shell
environment.
Step 2. At the EFI Shell environment, issue the map command to list all currently mapped bootable devices.
The bootable file systems of interest typically are listed as fs0:, fs1:, and so on.
Step 3. Access the EFI System Partition for the device from which you want to boot HP OpenVMS (fsX:,
where X is the file system number).
For example, enter fs2: to access the EFI System Partition for the bootable file system number 2.
The EFI Shell prompt changes to reflect the file system currently accessed.
Also, the file system number might change each time it is mapped (for example, when the system
boots, or when the map -r command is issued).
Step 4. When accessing the EFI System Partition for the desired boot device, issue the
\efi\vms\vms_loader command to initiate the vms_loader.efi loader on the device you are
accessing.
fs5:> \efi\vms\vms_loader.efi
