Efi Commands - HP Integrity rx6600 User's & Service Manual

The following options are available in the EFI Boot Manager menu:
Boot from a File—Automatically adds EFI applications as boot options or enables you to boot
from a specific file. When you select this option, the system searches for an EFI directory. If
the EFI directory is found, then it looks in each of the subdirectories below EFI. In each of those
subdirectories, it looks for the first file that is an executable EFI application. Each of the EFI
applications that meet this criterion can be automatically added as a boot option. In addition,
legacy boot options for A: and C: are also added if those devices are present.
You can also launch a specific application without adding it as a boot option. In this case,
the EFI Boot Manager searches the root directories and the \EFI\TOOLS directories of all of
the EFI system partitions present in the system for the specified EFI application.
Add a Boot Option—Adds a boot option to the EFI Boot Manager. Specify the boot option
by providing the name of the EFI application. Along with the name, you can also provide
either ASCII or UNICODE arguments the file uses. Given the EFI application name and any
options, the EFI Boot Manager searches for the executable file in the same directories as
described in the Boot from a File option. When the file is found, it is executed.
Delete Boot Options—Deletes a specific boot option or all boot options.
Change Boot Order—Controls the relative order in which the EFI Boot Manager attempts to
execute boot options. For help on the control key sequences you need for this option, see the
help menu.
Manage BootNext Setting—Selects a boot option to use only once (the next boot operation).
Set Automatic Boot Timeout—Defines the value in seconds before the system automatically
boots without user intervention. Set this value to zero to disable the timeout feature.
Exit—Returns control to the EFI Boot Manager menu. This displays the active boot devices,
including a possible integrated shell (if the implementation is so constructed).
