Change The Boot Configuration (Applies To All Servers); Windows Server 2003 Systems Only Option 1: Using Bootcfg (Recommended) - HP Rx2620-2 - Integrity - 0 MB RAM Manual

Because you must reboot for the boot configuration changes to take effect, change the boot options
first, locate and enable the debug port if necessary, and then connect the cable to the debug port
and proceed with debugging.
The procedures that follow are presented in the order they should be performed. Some sections
apply to all servers; some apply to certain models only, as indicated in the title. Follow only the
instructions in the sections that are marked with your server model number and in the sections
marked "applies to all servers."

Change the boot configuration (applies to all servers)

To perform kernel-mode debugging, you must enable and configure certain features that are
established when the operating system loads. The settings for these features are included in the
boot options — values that determine how the boot loader loads and configures the operating
system and other bootable programs and devices. Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server
2008 use different mechanisms to store these boot options. Consequently, different procedures
and tools must be used to set or change them.
In systems running Windows Server 2003, you can edit the boot options in Extensible Firmware
Interface (EFI) nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) in two ways, using different tools:
• Bootcfg (bootcfg.exe) is a command-line tool that enables you to edit boot options while
the operating system is running. You can use Bootcfg to add, delete, and change the values
of all valid boot options. You can also use Bootcfg commands in a script or batch file to set
boot options or to reset them after you replace or upgrade an operating system.
• Nvrboot (nvrboot.efi) is an EFI-based boot entry editor that you can run when the
operating system is shut down. Nvrboot edits boot entries and includes commands to export
backup copies of boot entries and to import backup copies of boot entries into NVRAM.
You can access Nvrboot from the EFI Shell in the msutil directory of the system partition
(fsN:/msutil/nvrboot.efi, where N is the number of the file system).
In systems running Windows Server 2008, you must edit the boot options with a different tool:
• BCDEdit (bcdedit.exe) is a command-line tool for adding, deleting, editing, and modifying
boot data in a boot configuration data (BCD) store. The usage information provided below
is a quick summary of some of the main features. For a complete description of all arguments
and parameters, refer to the Microsoft documentation found here:
