"Booting OpenVMS from the UEFI Boot Manager" (page 36)
"Booting HP OpenVMS from the UEFI Shell" (page 36)

Booting OpenVMS from the UEFI Boot Manager

1. From the UEFI Boot Manager menu, choose an item from the boot options list to boot OpenVMS
using the chosen boot option.
2. Access the UEFI Boot Manager menu for the server on which you want to boot OpenVMS.
3. Log in to the iLO 3 MP and enter CO to choose the system console.
4. Confirm you are at the UEFI Front Page. If you are at another UEFI menu, then choose the Exit
option or press X or x to exit the menu. Exit until you return to the screen that lists the keys
that can be pressed to launch various Managers. Press B or b to launch the Boot Manager.
5. At the EFI Boot Manager menu, choose an item from the boot options list.
Each item in the boot options list references a specific boot device and provides a specific set
of boot options or arguments to use when booting the device.
6. Press Enter to initiate booting using the chosen boot option.
7. Exit the console and iLO 3 MP interfaces.
8. Press Ctrl–B to exit the system console and return to the MP Main Menu. To exit the MP Main
Menu, press X or x.

Booting HP OpenVMS from the UEFI Shell

From the EFI Shell environment, to boot OpenVMS on a device, first access the bootable partition
(for example fs0:) for the root device and enter\efi\vms\vms_loader to initiate the OpenVMS
loader.
1. Access the UEFI Shell.
2. From the UEFI Front Page, press S or s to launch the UEFI shell.
3. Use the map command to list the file systems (fs0, fs1, and so on) that are known and have
been mapped.
4. To select a file system to use, enter its mapped name followed by a colon (:). For example, to
operate with the boot device that is mapped as fs0, enter fs0: at the UEFI Shell prompt.
5. When accessing the bootable partition for the desired boot device, issue
the\efi\vms\vms_loader command to initiate the vms_loader.efi loader on the
device you are accessing.
fs5:> \efi\vms\vms_loader.efi
fs5:> \efi\vms\vms_loader.efi
