Booting and shutting down the operating system for HP-UX

HP-UX standard boot

Use either of the following procedures to boot HP-UX:
"Booting HP-UX from the UEFI Boot Manager" (page 47)
"Booting HP-UX from the UEFI Shell" (page 47)

Booting HP-UX from the UEFI Boot Manager

From the UEFI Boot Manager menu, choose an item from the boot options list to boot HP-UX.
1. Access the UEFI Boot Manager menu for the partition on which you want to boot HP-UX.
Log on to the OA CLI and enter CO to choose the system console.
Confirm you are at the UEFI Front Page. If you are at another UEFI menu, 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.
2. 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.
3. Press Enter to initiate booting using the chosen boot option.
4. Exit the console and OA CLI interfaces when done.
Press Ctrl–B to exit the system console and return to the OA CLI. To exit the OA CLI, use the
EXIT command.

Booting HP-UX from the UEFI Shell

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 now
selected boot device.
If needed, specify the loader's full path 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, enter a space)
within the time-out period provided by the loader. To exit the loader, use the exit command;
this takes you back to UEFI.
