EFI boot configuration
This example uses AUTO file to boot vpmon. This example happens to use HP-UX B.11.23 but the procedure is the same for B.11.31 though the disk paths will look different.
AUTO
boot /stand/vpmon
map –r
The bootable disks show Part1 on the disk list (highlighted). Local disks (which should not be used are SCSI, SAN disks show a WWN(also bold) output is truncated.

To set a boot disk you need to fs#:
Then cd /EFI/HPUX and run the bcfg command
In this example, the boot disks for the vpar are fs7: and fsB:
fs7:
cd EFI
cd HPUX
fs7: \EFI\HPUX> bcfg boot add 1 hpux.efi “HPUX primary vpar boot”
fsB: \EFI\HPUX> bcfg boot add 2 hpux.efi “HPUX alternate vpar boot”
Boot menu should look like this:
HPUX primary vpar boot
HPUX alternate vpar boot

<edit with vi>
efi_cp -d /dev/rdsk/c18t0d0s1 AUTO /EFI/HPUX/AUTO
Repeat for both boot disks.
