    Using the EFI Boot Manager The EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) Boot Manager allows you to control the server’s booting environment. From the Boot Manager, you can choose to invoke the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) Shell or to go to the Boot Option Maintenance Menu. Entering the EFI Boot Manager To enter the EFI Boot Manager: 1.
  • Page 107 Boot Option Maintenance Menu The EFI Boot Maintenance Manager allows the user to add boot options, delete boot options, launch an EFI application, and set the auto boot time out value. If there are no boot options in the system (and no integrated shell), the Boot Maintenance Menu is presented.

  • Page 108: Table 26. Boot Option Maintenance Menu

    Boot Option Description Cold Reset Performs a platform–specific cold reset of the system. A cold reset traditionally means a full platform reset. Exit Returns control to the EFI Boot Manager main menu. Selecting this op- tion will display the active boot devices, including a possible integrated shell (if the implementation is so constructed).

  • Page 109: Using The Efi Shell

    Using the EFI Shell The EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) Shell is a simple, interactive user interface that allows EFI device drivers to be loaded, EFI applications to be launched, and operating systems to be booted. In addition, the Shell provides a set of basic commands used to manage files and the system environment variables.
  • Page 110 EFI Shell Command Syntax The EFI Shell implements a programming language that provides control over the execution of individual commands. When the Shell scans its input, it always treats certain characters specially: (#, >, %, *, ?, [, ^, space, and newline). When a command contains a defined alias, the Shell replaces the alias with its definition (see alias command in this chapter).

  • Page 111: Table 29. Output Redirection Syntax

    Output Redirection Output of EFI Shell commands can be redirected to files, according to the following syntax: Command Output Redirection > unicode_output_file_pathname standard output to a unicode file >a ascii_output_file_pathname standard output to an ascii file 1> unicode_output_file_pathname standard output to a unicode file 1>a ascii_output_file_pathname standard output to an ascii file 2>...

  • Page 112: Efi Shell Commands

    By default, both the input and output for all commands executed from a batch script are echoed to the console. Display of commands read from a batch file can be suppressed via the echo –off command (see echo). If output for a command is redirected to a file, then that output is not displayed on the console.

The list and respective manual pages for each utility can be found on the Bull NovaScale Server Resource CD–Rom. Network stack configuration commands must be executed after booting to EFI Shell. To simplify network setup, these commands should be grouped, via an EFI batch script, to form a single one–line command.
  • Page 115 Example Network Configuration Batch File An example network configuration batch file named NetConf.nsh is installed in the EFI directory of the EFI Service Partition. This file loads the TCP/IP, configures the Ethernet interface to the IP address given as first argument to this file, configures the optional second argument as the gateway, and loads the FTP Server (daemon).
