3 Running and editing UEFI Shell scripts

The following information describes the scripting functions provided by the UEFI Shell.

UEFI Shell script commands

Examples

To export all settings to a file:

fs0:\> Sysconfig –export filename.txt

To import all settings to a file:

fs0:\> Sysconfig –import filename.txt

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.

Export Example

fs0:\>

@echo -off
