Booting and Shutting Down HP OpenVMS I64

This section presents procedures for booting and shutting down HP OpenVMS I64 on cell-based
HP Integrity servers and procedures for adding HP OpenVMS to the boot options list.
• To determine whether the cell local memory (CLM) configuration is appropriate for HP
OpenVMS, refer to
• To add an HP OpenVMS entry to the boot options list, refer to

HP OpenVMS I64 Support for Cell Local Memory

On servers based on the HP sx2000 chipset, each cell has a cell local memory (CLM) parameter,
which determines how firmware interleaves memory residing on the cell.
IMPORTANT:
nPartition, you must ensure that the CLM parameter for each cell in the nPartition is set to zero
(0). Although you might be able to boot OpenVMS on an nPartition with CLM configured, any
memory configured as cell local is unusable, and such a configuration is untested and
unsupported.
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). For
details, refer to the HP System Partitions Guide or the Partition Manager Web site
(http://docs.hp.com/en/PARMGR2/).
To display 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 Partition Manager or the parstatus command
to confirm the CLM configuration details.
To set the CLM configuration, use Partition Manager or the parmodify command. For details,
refer to the HP System Partitions Guide or the Partition Manager Web site
(http://docs.hp.com/en/PARMGR2/).

Adding HP OpenVMS to the Boot Options List

On HP Integrity servers, you can use the following procedures to manage boot options list entries
for HP OpenVMS.
You can add the \efi\vms\vms_loader.efi loader to the boot options list from the EFI Shell
or EFI Boot Configuration menu (or in some versions of EFI, the Boot Option Maintenance Menu).
