UEFI Shell script commands
Examples

fs0:\> Sysconfig –export filename.txt
To import all settings to a file:

Invoking scripts
You can invoke UEFI Shell scripts using either of these two methods:
•
“Enabling the UEFI Shell Script Auto Start” (page 65)
•
“Manually invoking a Shell script” (page 65)
Enabling the UEFI Shell Script Auto Start
You can enable or disable automatic execution of the default UEFI Shell script during shell start
up. When enabled, the shell looks for the startup.nsh file in any of the FAT16 or FAT32 file
systems available. HP recommends having only one startup.nsh file on one file system.
To enable the UEFI Shell script auto start:
1.
Access the System Utilities menu. For more information, see “Accessing the HP UEFI System
Utilities” (page 5) .
2. From the System Utilities screen, select System Configuration
→BIOS/Platform Configuration
(RBSU)
→System Options→UEFI Shell Options→UEFI Shell Script Auto-Start and press Enter.
3. Press F10 to save your selection.
4. Reboot the server for the change to take effect.
Manually invoking a Shell script
To manually invoke a Shell script:
1.
Navigate to the location of the .nsh Script file.
2. Double-click the file, or right-click it, and then select Open.
Editing Shell scripts
You can edit script files offline or in the Shell using the edit command. You can also use the type
command to output the script to the screen.
Sample Shell scripts
Examples
The following sample scripts how to capture a configuration (export) and replicate it (import) from
startup.nsh mounted on an iLO virtual media.
