Adding Microsoft Windows To The Boot Options List - HP Rp7410 - Server - 0 MB RAM Administrator's Manual

NOTE: Microsoft Windows supports using CLM on cell-based HP Integrity servers. For best
performance in an nPartition running Windows, HP recommends that you configure the CLM
parameter to 100% for each cell in the nPartition.
To check CLM configuration details from an OS, use Partition Manager or the parstatus
command. For example, the parstatus -V -c# command and parstatus -V -p# command
report the CLM amount requested and CLM amount allocated for the specified cell (-c#, where
# is the cell number) or the specified nPartition (-p#, where # is the nPartition number).
To check CLM configuration details from the EFI Shell on a cell-based HP Integrity server, use
the info mem command. If the amount of "NonInterleaved Memory" reported is less than 512
MB then no CLM is configured for any cells in the nPartition (and the indicated amount of
noninterleaved memory is used by system firmware). If the info mem command reports more
than 512 MB of noninterleaved memory then use use Partition Manager or the parstatus
command to confirm the CLM configuration details.
To set the CLM configuration, use Partition Manager or the parmodify command.

Adding Microsoft Windows to the Boot Options List

To add a Microsoft Windows entry to the system boot options list you must do so from EFI by
using the \MSUtil\nvrboot.efi utility to import boot options from the
EFI\Microsoft\WINNT50\Boot00... file on the device from which Windows is loaded.
NOTE: On HP Integrity servers, the operating system installer automatically adds an entry to
the boot options list.
Procedure 5-19 Adding a Microsoft Windows Boot Option
This procedure adds the Microsoft Windows item to the boot options list.
1. Access the EFI Shell environment.
Login to the management processor and enter CO to access the system 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.
From the EFI Boot Manager menu, select the EFI Shell menu option to access the EFI Shell
environment.
2. Access the EFI System Partition (fsX: where X is the file system number) for the device
from which you want to boot Microsoft Windows.
For example, enter fs2: to access the EFI System Partition for the bootable file system
number 2. The EFI Shell prompt changes to reflect the file system currently accessed.
The full path for the Microsoft Windows loader is \efi\microsoft\winnt50\
ia64ldr.efi and it should be on the device you are accessing. (However, you must only
initiate this loader from the EFI Boot Menu and not from the EFI Shell.)
3. List the contents of the \EFI\Microsoft\WINNT50 directory to identify the name of the
Windows boot option file (Boot00nn) that you want to import into the system boot options
list.
fs0:\> ls EFI\Microsoft\WINNT50
Directory of: fs0:\EFI\Microsoft\WINNT50
