This section has procedures for booting and shutting down
Microsoft Windows on cell-based HP Integrity servers and a procedure for adding
Windows to the boot options list. Adding Microsoft Windows to the Boot Options List | |
To add a Microsoft Windows entry to the system boot options
list you must do so from EFI by using the \MSUtil\nvrboot.efi utility
to import boot options from the EFI\Microsoft\WINNT50\Boot00... file
on the device from which Windows is loaded. | | | |  | NOTE: On HP Integrity servers, the operating system installer
automatically adds an entry to the boot options list. | | | | |
Procedure 5-19 Adding a Microsoft Windows Boot Option This procedure adds the Microsoft Windows item to the boot
options list. Access the EFI
Shell environment. Login to the management processor
and enter CO to access the system console. When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the
EFI Boot Manager menu (the main EFI menu). If at another EFI menu, select
the Exit option from the sub-menus until you return to
the screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading. From the EFI Boot Manager menu, select the EFI
Shell menu option to access the EFI Shell environment. Access the EFI
System Partition (fsX: where X is
the file system number) for the device from which you want to boot Microsoft
Windows. For example, enter fs2: to
access the EFI System Partition for the bootable file system number 2.
The EFI Shell prompt changes to reflect the file system currently accessed. The full path for the Microsoft Windows loader is \efi\microsoft\winnt50\ia64ldr.efi and
it should be on the device you are accessing. (However, you must only initiate
this loader from the EFI Boot Menu and not from the EFI Shell.) List the contents
of the \EFI\Microsoft\WINNT50 directory to identify the
name of the Windows boot option file (Boot00nn) that
you want to import into the system boot options list. fs0:\> ls EFI\Microsoft\WINNT50
Directory of: fs0:\EFI\Microsoft\WINNT50
09/18/03 11:58a <DIR> 1,024 .
09/18/03 11:58a <DIR> 1,024 ..
12/18/03 08:16a 354 Boot0001
1 File(s) 354 bytes
2 Dir(s)
fs0:\> |
At the EFI Shell
environment, issue the \MSUtil\nvrboot.efi command
to launch the Microsoft Windows boot options utility. fs0:\> msutil\nvrboot

processor, type X at the Main Menu.
Booting Microsoft Windows | |
You can boot the Windows Server 2003 OS on an HP Integrity
server by using the EFI Boot Manager to choose the appropriate Windows item
from the boot options list. Refer to “Shutting Down Microsoft Windows” for
details on shutting down the Windows OS. Procedure 5-20 Windows Booting From the EFI Boot Manager menu, choose an item from the
boot options list to boot Windows using that boot option. The EFI Boot Manager
is available only on HP Integrity servers. Refer to “ACPI Configuration for Windows Must Be windows” for
required configuration details. Access the EFI
Boot Manager menu for the system on which you want to boot Windows. Log in to the management processor and enter CO to
access the Console list. Choose the nPartition console. When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the
EFI Boot Manager menu (the main EFI menu). If you are at another EFI menu,
choose the Exit option from the submenus until you return
to the screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading. At the EFI 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 to be used when booting the device. Press Enter to
initiate booting using the chosen boot option. When Windows
begins loading, wait for the Special Administration Console (SAC) to become
available. The SAC interface provides a text-based
administration tool that is available from the nPartition console. For details
refer to the SAC online help (type ? at the SAC> prompt). Loading.: Windows Server 2003, Datacenter

Exit the console
and management processor interfaces if you are finished using them. To exit the console environment, press ^B (Control-B);
this exits the console and returns to the management processor Main menu.
To exit the management processor, type X at the Main menu.
Shutting Down Microsoft Windows | |
You can shut down the Windows OS on HP Integrity servers
using the Start menu or the shutdown command. To shut down Windows use either of the following methods. Choose Shut Down from
the Start menu and choose either Restart or Shut
down from the pull-down menu. The Restart menu
item shuts down and restarts the system. The Shut down menu
item shuts down the system. You can use this method when using a graphical interface
to the system. Issue the shutdown command
from the Windows command line. Refer to the procedure “Windows Shutdown from the Command Line” for details. You can issue this command from a command prompt through
the Special Administration Console (SAC) or from any other command line. The Windows shutdown command includes
the following options: - /s
Shut down the system. This is the equivalent of Start Shut DownShut
down. - /r
Shut down and restart the system. This is the equivalent of StartShut DownRestart. - /a
Abort a system shutdown. - /t xxx
Set the timeout period before shutdown to xxx seconds.
The timeout period can range from 0-600, with a default of 30.
Refer to the help shutdown Windows command
for details.
Procedure 5-21 Windows Shutdown from the Command Line From the Windows command line, issue the shutdown command
to shut down the OS. Log in to Windows
running on the system that you want to shut down. For
example, access the system console and use the Windows SAC interface to start
a command prompt, from which you can issue Windows commands to shut down the
the system. Check whether
any users are logged in. Use the query user or query
session command. Issue the shutdown command
and the appropriate options to shut down the Windows Server 2003 on the system. You have the following options when shutting down Windows: To shut down Windows and reboot: shutdown /r Alternatively, you can choose the StartShut Down action and choose Restart from
the pull-down menu. To shut down Windows and not reboot
(either power down server hardware or put an nPartition into a shutdown for
reconfig state): shutdown /s Alternatively, you can choose the StartShut Down action and choose Shut
down from the pull-down menu. To abort a shutdown (stop a shutdown
that has been initiated): shutdown /a
For example: shutdown /r /t 60 /c "Shut down in one minute." This command initiates a Windows system shutdown-and-reboot
after a timeout period of 60 seconds. The /c option specifies
a message that is broadcast to any other users of the system.
