Adding HP OpenVMS to the Boot Options List

On HP Integrity servers, you can use the following procedures to manage boot options list entries
for HP OpenVMS.

You can add the \efi\vms\vms_loader.efi loader to the boot options list from the EFI Shell
or the EFI Boot Configuration menu (or in some versions of EFI, the Boot Option Maintenance
Menu).

NOTE:

The operating system installer automatically adds an entry to the boot options list.

To add an HP OpenVMS 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 CO 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 the Exit from the submenus until you return to the screen with the
EFI Boot Manager

heading.

c. From the EFI Boot Manager menu, select 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 OpenVMS.

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 OpenVMS loader is \efi\vms\vms_loader.efi. It is 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
