Configuring System Boot Options
This section discusses the server boot options you can configure on entry-class HP Integrity servers, including
the boot options list and the autoboot setting for the server.
• Boot Options List
The boot options list is a list of loadable items available for you to choose from the EFI Boot Manager
menu. Ordinarily the boot options list includes the EFI Shell and one or more operating system loaders.
The following example includes boot options for HP OpenVMS, Microsoft Windows, HP-UX, and the EFI
