B.6.7 Booting Manually from the Local System Disk

HP recommends setting up your Integrity servers EFI console with a boot option for your
OpenVMS Integrity servers operating system disk. In this way, booting the system disk simply
requires selecting the boot option from the EFI Boot Manager boot options list. You can set the
EFI boot option to boot automatically on powering on or rebooting. The OpenVMS installation
and upgrade procedures can assist you in adding and validating a boot option for your system
disk; you can also use the OpenVMS Integrity servers Boot Manager utility
(SYS$MANAGER:BOOT_OPTIONS.COM), as explained in

Section B.5.2 (page 205)

.

The steps that follow explain how to boot the OpenVMS Integrity servers operating system disk
manually. You can also use vMedia to boot an OpenVMS system disk; see

Section D.2 (page 279)

.

NOTE:

If you have recently booted the OpenVMS Integrity servers OE DVD, make sure you

remove this DVD before booting the system disk.
On Integrity server systems, the system disk must be mounted locally (on the system you are
booting) or on a SAN storage device.

If OpenVMS is not running, skip to the next step. If OpenVMS is running, access the EFI
console by shutting down the operating system (see the instructions in
