NOTE:
Maintenance menu.
To manage the boot options list for each system use the EFI Shell, the EFI Boot Configuration
menu, or operating system utilities.
At the EFI Shell, the bcfg command supports listing and managing the boot options list for
all operating systems except Microsoft Windows. On HP Integrity systems with Windows
installed the \MSUtil\nvrboot.efi utility is provided for managing Windows boot
options from the EFI Shell. Likewise on HP Integrity systems with OpenVMS installed the
\efi\vms\vms_bcfg.efi and \efi\vms\vms_show utilities are provided for managing
OpenVMS boot options.
The EFI Boot Configuration menu provides the Add a Boot Option, Delete Boot Option(s),
and Change Boot Order menu items. (If you must add an EFI Shell entry to the boot options
list, use this method.)
Operating system utilities for managing the boot options list include the HP-UX setboot
command and the HP OpenVMS @SYS$MANAGER:BOOT_OPTIONS.COM command.
The OpenVMS I64 installation and upgrade procedures assist you in setting up and validating
a boot option for your system disk. HP recommends that you allow the procedure to do
this. Alternatively, you can use the @SYS$MANAGER:BOOT_OPTIONS.COM command (also
referred to as the OpenVMS I64 Boot Manager utility) to manage boot options for your
system disk. The OpenVMS I64 Boot Manager (BOOT_OPTIONS.COM) utility is a menu-based
utility and is easier to use than EFI. To configure OpenVMS I64 booting on Fibre Channel
devices, you must use the OpenVMS I64 Boot Manager utility (BOOT_OPTIONS.COM). For
more information on this utility and other restrictions, refer to the HP OpenVMS for Integrity
Servers Upgrade and Installation Manual.
