Step 2. From the partition’s BCH main menu, enter the REBOOT command to reboot the
partition.
The BCH interface’s REBOOT command resets all active cells in the
partition and reboots them past partition rendezvous to BCH or HP-UX.
HP-UX Use the following procedure to reset a partition by using HP-UX
commands running on the partition.
Step 1. Log in to HP-UX running on the partition.
You can log in to HP-UX on the partition either by directly connecting
with telnet or rlogin, or by logging in to its complex’s GSP and
accessing the partition’s console. Connecting through the GSP allows you
to maintain partition console access after HP-UX has shut down.
Step 2. Issue the shutdown or reboot command and specify the -r option.
The shutdown -r and reboot -r commands shut down HP-UX and
reboot the partition.
NOTE The reboot command does not invoke the shutdown scripts associated
with subsystems. The shutdown command invokes the scripts and
terminates all running processes in an orderly and cautious manner.
