Adding HP-UX to the boot options list

You can add the \EFI\HPUX\HPUX.EFI loader to the boot options list from the UEFI Shell or the Boot
Maintenance Manager.
NOTE:
On Integrity server blades, the operating system installer automatically adds an entry to the boot
options list.
NOTE:
To add an HP-UX boot option when logged in to HP-UX, use the setboot command. For more
information, see the setbootvolume(1M) manpage.
To add HP-UX to the list:
Procedure
1. Access the UEFI Shell environment.
a. Log in to iLO 3 for Integrity and enter the CO command to access the system console.
When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the UEFI Front Page.
If you are at another UEFI menu, then choose the Exit option or press X or x to exit the menu. Exit
until you return to the screen that lists the keys that can be pressed to launch various Managers.
b. Press S or s to launch the UEFI shell.
2. Access the UEFI System Partition (fsX: where X is the file system number) for the device from which
you want to boot HP-UX.
For example, enter fs2: to access the UEFI System Partition for the bootable file system number2.
The UEFI Shell prompt changes to reflect the file system currently accessed.
The full path for the HP-UX loader is \EFI\HPUX\HPUX.EFI and it should be on the device you are
accessing.
3. At the UEFI 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:
a. bcfg boot dump – Display all items in the boot options list for the server.
b. bcfg boot rm # – Remove the item number specified by # from the boot options list.
c. bcfg boot mv #a #b – Move the item number specified by #a to the position specified by #b in
the boot options list.
d. bcfg boot add # file.efi "Description" – Add a new boot option to the position in the
boot options list specified by #. The new boot option references file.efi and is listed with the title
specified by Description.
For example, bcfg boot add 1 \EFI\HPUX\HPUX.EFI "HP-UX 11i v3" adds an HP-UX
11i v3 item as the first.
For more information, see the help bcfg command.
4. Exit the console and iLO 3 MP interfaces.
Press Ctrl–B to exit the system console and return to the iLO 3 MP Main Menu. To exit the MP, press
X or x at the Main Menu.
