Adding Microsoft Windows to the Boot Options List

NOTE: The operating system installer automatically adds an entry to the boot options list.
To add a Microsoft Windows entry to the system boot options list, follow these steps:
1. Access the EFI Shell environment.
a. Log in to the iLO 2 MP and enter CO to access the system console.
b. Confirm that you are at the EFI Boot Manager menu. If you are at another EFI menu, select
Exit from the submenus until you return to the screen labeled EFI Boot Manager.
c. From the EFI Boot Manager menu, select EFI Shell 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 is on the device you are accessing.
NOTE:
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

utility. For example:
fs0:\> msutil\nvrboot
