Remove Boot Entry; Edit Boot Entry - HP Integrity rx4640 Service Manual

can also select remote boot (LAN) options that have been configured on your network. The option
you have selected is added to the EFI boot menu.
If you add a new drive to your server, you must manually add its boot options list if you want
to make it a bootable device.
When adding a boot option that already exists in the Boot Manager list of boot options, you can
choose whether to create a new option or modify the existing one. If you:
• Choose to modify an existing option, you can change the boot option name or add boot
option arguments to the existing option.
• Create a new boot option for an already existing option, multiple instances of the same boot
option exist.
For example:
Add a Boot Option. Select a Volume
NO VOLUME LABEL [Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(2|0)/Ata(Primary,Master)/CDROM
Removable Media Boot [Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(2|0)/Ata(Secondary,Master)
Load File [EFI Shell [Built-in]]
Load File [Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(3|0)/Mac(00306E4C4F1A)]
Exit
In this example:
• Most of the items are the same options in Boot From a File.
• NO VOLUME LABEL is a hard drive. You can search through the disk for bootable
applications to add to the Boot Manager list of Boot options.
• Removable Media Boot will treat the Removable Media (generally a CD) as a bootable device.
• Load File EFI Shell adds a new instance to the EFI Shell. Load File with the MAC address
adds a network boot option

Remove Boot Entry

To remove boot options from the EFI boot menu, use the Edit Boot option.
NOTE: This does not delete any files, applications or drivers from your server.
This option displays a list of boot options that are configured on your server. The names will
match the options on the main Boot Manager menu (above).
If you remove a drive from your server, you must manually delete it from the boot options list.
• To delete an item from the list, use the arrow keys to highlight the item and press Enter.
• To remove all of the entries from the EFI boot menu, select Delete All Boot Options.
This setting can be used as a security device on servers that are accessed remotely.

Edit Boot Entry

To change the order of boot options. The order in which options are listed in the EFI boot menu
also reflects the order in which the server attempts to boot. If the first boot option fails, the server
tries booting the second, then the third, and so forth, until a boot option succeeds or until all
options have failed.
For example, if you normally boot using a configuration on your LAN but would like to boot
from a local hard drive if the LAN is unavailable, move the LAN boot option to the top of the
list, followed by the hard drive boot option.
The menu lists boot options that currently exist in the main Boot Manager menu. You can change
the priority of the items by moving them up or down in the list:
• To move an option up, press U.
• To move an option down, press D.
• To modify the order in the Boot Manager menu, select Save Settings to NVRAM. This
modifies the order that the Boot Manager attempts to boot the options.
The items at the bottom of the screen are descriptions of the selected option.
