Map EFI Internal Bootable DVD

Hi, I try to get hands on my new RX2600 HP Servers.

For the cold installation of the HP-UX OS the mapping to the
Internal Bootable DVD is gone in the EFI Shell.

ON one of my two HP RX2600 Servers the entry stays there:

Code:
EFI Boot Manager ver 1.10 [14.61]  Firmware ver 2.31 [4411]
Please select a boot option
    HP-UX Primary Boot: 0/1/1/0.0x1.0x0
    EFI Shell [Built-in]
    Internal Bootable DVD
    Netboot
    Boot Option Maintenance Menu
    System Configuration Menu

    Use ^ and v to change option(s). Use Enter to select an option


But in my other Server the "Internal Bootable DVD" entry ist gone.
How to get the entry back, so that I can install from a HP-UX DVD.

cheers...

devicefile] directory DESCRIPTION

See efi(4). devicefile should be the device file for the EFI volume. If directory is not a directory or the directory is not empty, prints a diagnostic message and returns without removing the file; use efi_rm(1M) to remove EFI files. directory should be relative to root of the EFI volume specified by devicefile, not to an HP-UX file sys- tem. Options recognizes the following option: devicefile is the device special file of the EFI file system from which the directory is to be removed. Without the option, uses the device file specified in the environment variable if it is defined. The option overrides the environment variable. RETURN VALUE
returns exit code 0 if the directory is removed successfully. Otherwise it prints a diagnostic message and returns nonzero. 0 Successful completion. >0 Error condition occurred. EXAMPLES
