Booting HP-UX from the UEFI Boot Manager
Procedure
1. From the UEFI Boot Manager menu, choose an item from the boot options list to boot HP-UX.
2. Access the UEFI Boot Manager menu for the server on which you want to boot HP-UX.
3. Log in to iLO 3 MP and enter the CO command 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 UEFI 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 you use when booting the device.
6. Press Enter to initiate booting using your 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-UX from the UEFI Shell
Procedure
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. Enter HPUX at the UEFI Shell command prompt to launch the HPUX.EFI loader from the currently
selected boot device.
If needed, specify the full path of loader by entering \EFI\HPUX\HPUX at the UEFI Shell command
prompt.
6. Allow the HPUX.EFI loader to proceed with the boot command specified in the AUTO file, or manually
specify the boot command.
By default, the HPUX.EFI loader boots using the loader commands found in the \EFI\HPUX\AUTO
file on the UEFI System Partition of the selected boot device. The AUTO file typically contains the boot
vmunix command.
To interact with the HPUX.EFI loader, interrupt the boot process (for example, type a space) within the
time-out period provided by the loader. To exit the loader, use the exit command, which returns you to
UEFI.
