Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) console • EFI is the standard console for all IA64 systems, regardless of hardware vendor • Each vendor can provide unique customizations • Used to boot the system • Interfaces with the operation system via PAL, SAL and EFI runtime services • Provides both a menu and command line interface • Code is stored in flash ROM and optional FAT partition • EFI console is an open programming environment – Intel publishes the source code and tool kit – Intel transitionin

Hybrid Disk Format • EFI requires GUID Partition Table (GPT) disk format • EFI requires one FAT32 partition • VMS requires ODS Files-11 disk format • VMS does not support partition disks • Both format co-exist, independent of each other • EFI console view – GPT format with one 48Mb FAT32 partition – Remaining space unallocated • VMS view – ODS Files-11 format disk – 48Mb container file allocated for FAT32 partition • CD-ROMs use ISO9660 format instead of GPT 4/22/04 RX2600 consoles page 5 Select

Booting VMS from the EFI Shell • Select EFI Shell from the boot menu • Set Boot flags environment variable, stored in NVRAM – IA64 flag values are generally the same as Alpha and VAX – Shell> set vms_flags “0,0” • Select disk and directory – Shell> fs0: – fs0:> cd efi\vms • Start the boot of VMS – fs0:> vms_loader • Override environment variable – fs0:> vms_loader –flags 0,1 4/22/04 RX2600 consoles page 7 What’s wrong with the Backspace key? • EFI console requires ^H (ASCII 0x08) for backspace •

Booting VMS from the EFI menu • Create new menu item – Select Boot Option Maintenance Menu – Select Add Boot Option – Select volume – Select efi\vms\vms_loader – Add name, “HP OpenVMS Industry Standard 64” – No boot options are needed, since it uses VMS_FLAGS stored in NVRAM – Save settings to NVRAM 4/22/04 RX2600 consoles page 9 Boot Example EFI version 1.10 [14.61] EFI64 Running on Intel(R) Itanium Processor Family EFI 1.10 IPF zx6000/rx2600/zx2000 1.22 [Wed Jul 23 16:43:12 2003] - HP Copyrigh

Change EFI Boot Menu order • Select Boot Option Maintenance Menu • Select Change Boot Order • Select new menu item • Use the “u” key to move it to the top of the list • Save Settings to NVRAM • EFI shell command, bcfg, command can also be used the manage the EFI Boot menu • Note that menu item imbeds disk GUID, so process must be repeated if you re-install VMS. • In the future, VMS installation process will automate this task of adding EFI menu item 4/22/04 RX2600 consoles page 11 Set EFI Autob

MP Command Set 4/22/04 RX2600 consoles page 23 Forcing a system crash • History – On VAX and early Alpha system, ^P was detected by special hardware and handled by the console – Commodity serial ports pushed ^P detection in console firmware, if IPL < DEVICE_IPL • EFI console ignores ^P, no way to return to EFI Shell • IA64 VMS console terminal driver handles ^P – Calls XDELTA, if loaded – Prompts for forced crash, if IPL < DEVICE_IPL • Remote console command generates Transfer of Control signal

Future bootstrap options • Fibre Channel – Similar to SCSI boot, but new vendor-specific setup program to replaces the common SRM WIDMGR tool • Network boot – Uses PXE (pixie) instead of MOP – LAD/LAST booting scheduled for 8.2 – Cluster NISCS boot is post 8.2 • Partition system support for Superdome – VMS demo on Hard partition, Galaxy support in the future • Memory disk boot under investigation – Use container file to eliminate boot drivers – Used by HP-UX and Linux and VAX/VMS to boot TK50 4/

Introduction The HP Integrity Server system provides two console options: the Baseboard Management Console (BMC) and the Management Processor (MP) console. Both consoles can be used to power-cycle the systems and perform hardware-related operations. In addition to the low-level console functions, the Integrity Server system has a replacement for the SRM console in the Alpha processors, Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI). This document provides command summaries and examples of commonly used
