is empty and must be populated from the Support CD. You can run eDIAG from the HPSP.
The directory structure of a default EFI system partition containing HP-UX boot information is
as follows:
/startup.nsh The startup EFI shell
/EFI/diag
/EFI/tools
/EFI/Intel_Firmware/fpswa.efi
/EFI/HPUX/hpux.efi the HP-UX bootloader
/EFI/HPUX/nbp.efi
/EFI/HPUX/AUTO the AUTO file containing „boot vmunix“
/EFI/hp/tools/network/README.network
/EFI/hp/tools/network/ftp.efi
/EFI/hp/tools/network/ifconfig.efi
/EFI/hp/tools/network/inet.nsh
/EFI/hp/tools/network/ping.efi
/EFI/hp/tools/network/route.efi
/EFI/hp/tools/network/tcpipv4.efi
These files can also be found below the directory /usr/lib/efi/ on any Itanium HP-UX file
system.
HP-UX contains a set of EFI utilities:
idisk(1M) Creates partitions for IPF disks.
efi_fsinit(1M) Initialize an EFI partition; i.e. create an EFI file system.
efi_cp(1M) Copy files to and from an EFI partition.
efi_mkdir(1M) Create directories in an EFI partition.
efi_ls(1M) List the contents of an EFI partition.
efi_rm(1M) Remove files from an EFI partition.
efi_rmdir(1M) Remove directories from an EFI partition.
The EFI utilities are the only utilities in HP-UX where the internal structure of an EFI volume is
known. To the rest of HP-UX, an EFI system partition is simply a partition containing
unspecified data. The EFI volume cannot be mounted to HP-UX currently.
The files in the EFI file system can have up to 255 characters, they are not case sensitive. More
detailed information can be found in the efi(4) manual page. An EFI command overview can
be found at http://hprtdt58.grc.hp.com/documents/systems/longspeak/itanium_handly_trifold.pdf

How to configure the Console input/output devices
On Itanium systems there are basically four possible console screens:
 VGA-terminal (monitor)
 On board serial console port (system serial)
