NOTE: On HP Integrity servers, the operating system installer automatically adds an entry to
the boot options list.
1. Access the EFI Shell environment.
Log in to the iLO 2 MP and enter CO to access the system console.
When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the EFI Boot Manager menu (the main
EFI menu). If you are at another EFI menu, choose the Exit option from the submenus until
you return to the screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading.
From the EFI Boot Manager menu, choose the EFI Shell menu option 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 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 should be on the device you are
accessing. However, you must only initiate this loader from the EFI Boot Menu and not from
the EFI Shell.
3. List the contents of the \EFI\Microsoft\WINNT50directory 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
09/18/03 11:58a <DIR> 1,024 .
09/18/03 11:58a <DIR> 1,024 ..
12/18/03 08:16a 354 Boot0001
1 File(s) 354 bytes
2 Dir(s)
fs0:\>
4. At the EFI Shell environment, issue the \MSUtil\nvrboot.efi command to launch the
Microsoft Windows boot options utility.
fs0:\> msutil\nvrboot
