HP-UX Booting [EFI Boot Manager]
From the EFI Boot Manager menu, select an item from the boot options list to boot HP-UX using
the selected boot option. The EFI Boot Manager is available only on HP Integrity servers.
See “ACPI Configuration for HP-UX Must Be “default”” on page 176 for required configuration
details.
Step 1. Access the EFI Boot Manager menu for the nPartition on which you want to boot HP-UX.
Login to the service processor (MP or GSP) and enter CO to access the Console list. Select the
nPartition console.
When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the EFI Boot Manager menu (the main EFI
menu). If at another EFI menu, select the
Exit option from the sub-menus until you return to the
screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading.
Step 2. At the EFI Boot Manager menu, select an item from the boot options list.
Each item in the boot options list references a specific boot device and provides a specific set of boot
options or arguments to be used when booting the device.
Step 3. Press
Return or Enter to initiate booting using the selected boot option.
Step 4. Exit the console and service processor interfaces if finished using them.
To exit the EFI environment type
^B (Control-B); this exits the nPartition console and returns to the
service processor Main Menu. To exit the service processor, type X at the Main Menu.
