EFI boot configuration

 

This example uses AUTO file to boot vpmon. This example happens to use HP-UX B.11.23 but the procedure is the same for B.11.31 though the disk paths will look different.

AUTO

boot /stand/vpmon

map –r

The bootable disks show Part1 on the disk list (highlighted). Local disks (which should not be used are SCSI, SAN disks show a WWN(also bold) output is truncated.

To set a boot disk you need to fs#:

Then cd /EFI/HPUX and run the bcfg command

In this example, the boot disks for the vpar are fs7: and fsB:

 

fs7:

cd EFI

cd HPUX

fs7: \EFI\HPUX> bcfg boot add 1 hpux.efi “HPUX primary vpar boot”

fsB: \EFI\HPUX>  bcfg boot add 2 hpux.efi “HPUX alternate vpar boot”

 

Boot menu should look like this:

 

HPUX primary vpar boot

HPUX alternate vpar boot

Recommendation: test both your options.

 

AUTO file was edited on the OS as follows:

 efi_cp -d /dev/rdsk/c18t0d0s1 -u /EFI/HPUX/AUTO AUTO
<edit with vi>
 efi_cp -d /dev/rdsk/c18t0d0s1 AUTO /EFI/HPUX/AUTO

Repeat for both boot disks.
