3.

Booting HP-UX (EFI Shell)

From the EFI Shell environment, boot HP-UX on a device by first accessing the EFI System Partition
(for example

fs0:

) for the root device, then entering

HPUX

to initiate the loader.

1.

Access the EFI Shell environment for the server on which you want to boot HP-UX.

Log in to the iLO 2MP and enter

CO

to choose the system console.

Confirm that you are at the EFI Boot Manager Menu (the main EFI menu) when accessing the
console. If you are at another EFI menu, choose the Exit option from the submenus until you
return to the screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading.

From the EFI Boot Manager Menu, choose the EFI Shell menu option to access the EFI Shell
environment.

The EFI Shell displays all the files systems and block devices available.

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.

3.

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.

NOTE:

The file system number might change each time it is mapped (for example, when the

server boots, or when you issue the

map -r

command).

4.

When accessing the EFI System Partition for the desired boot device, issue the

HPUX

command

to initiate the

HPUX.EFI

loader on the device you are accessing.

The full path for the loader is

\EFI\HPUX\HPUX.EFI

. When initiated, the loader references

the

\EFI\HPUX\AUTO

file and proceeds to boot HP-UX using the default boot behavior

specified in the

AUTO

file.

You have 10 seconds to interrupt the automatic booting of the default boot behavior. Pressing
any key during this 10-second period stops the HP-UX boot process and enables you to interact
with the

HPUX.EFI

loader. To exit the loader (the

HPUX>

prompt) enter

exit

(this returns

you to the EFI Shell).

To boot the HP-UX operating system, do not enter anything during the 10 second period given
for stopping at the

HPUX.EFI

loader.
