NOTE: The operating system installer automatically adds an entry to the boot options list.
To add an HP-UX boot option when logged in to HP-UX, use the setboot command. For more
information see the setboot(1M) manpage.
To add an HP-UX item to the boot options list from the EFI Shell, follow these steps:
1. Access the EFI Shell environment.
a. Log in to the iLO 2 MP and enter the CO command to access the system console.
b. Confirm that you are at the EFI Boot Manager menu (the main EFI menu). If you are at
another EFI menu, select Exit option from the submenus until you return to the screen
labeled EFI Boot Manager.
c. From the EFI Boot Manager menu, select the EFI Shell to access the EFI Shell environment.
2. Access the EFI System Partition (fsX: where X is the file system number) for the device
from which you want to boot HP-UX.
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.
The full path for the HP-UX loader is \EFI\HPUX\HPUX.EFI on the device you are accessing.
3. At the EFI Shell environment, use the bcfg command to manage the boot options list.
The bcfg command includes the following options for managing the boot options list:
bcfg boot dump Displays all items in the boot options list for the
system.
bcfg boot rm # Removes 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 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.
For example, bcfg boot add1 \EFI\HPUX\HPUX.EFI “HP-UXi” adds an HP-UX 11i item
as the first entry in the boot options list.
See the help bcfg command for details.
4. Exit the console and iLO 2 MP interfaces if you are finished using them.
a. Press Control-B to exit the system console and return to the MP Main Menu.
b. To exit the iLO 2 MP, enter X at the MP Main Menu.
