Booting HP-UX from the UEFI Boot Manager
Procedure
1. From the UEFI Boot Manager menu, choose an item from the boot options list to boot HP-UX.
2. Access the UEFI Boot Manager menu for the server on which you want to boot HP-UX.
3. Log in to iLO MP, and then to choose the system console, enter CO.
4. Confirm you are at the UEFI Front Page. If you are at another UEFI menu, then to exit the menu,
choose the Exit option or press X. Exit until you return to the screen that lists the keys that can be
pressed to launch various Managers. To launch the Boot Manager, press B.
5. At the UEFI Boot Manager menu, choose 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 you use when booting the device.
6. To initiate booting using your chosen boot option, press Enter.
7. Exit the console and iLO MP interfaces.
8. To exit the system console and return to the MP Main Menu, press Ctrl-B. To exit the MP Main Menu,
enter X at the MP Main Menu.
Booting HP-UX from the UEFI Shell
Procedure
1. Access the UEFI Shell.
2. From the UEFI Front Page, press S to launch the UEFI shell.
3. Use the map command to list the file systems (fs0, fs1, and so on) that are known and have been
mapped.
4. To select a file system to use, enter the mapped name followed by a colon (:). For example, to operate
with the boot device that is mapped as fs0, at the UEFI Shell prompt, enter fs0:.
5. To launch the HPUX.EFI loader from the currently selected boot device, at the UEFI Shell command
prompt, enter HPUX.
If needed, specify the full path of loader by entering \EFI\HPUX\HPUX at the UEFI Shell command
prompt.
By default, the HPUX.EFI loader boots using the loader commands found in the \EFI\HPUX\AUTO
file on the UEFI System Partition of the selected boot device. The AUTO file typically contains the boot
vmunix command.
To interact with the HPUX.EFI loader, interrupt the boot process (for example, enter a space) within
the time-out period provided by the loader. To exit the loader, use the exit command, which returns
you to UEFI.
