Booting and Resetting Superdome Partitions

Procedures for Booting and Resetting Partitions

Chapter 5266

Step 2. From the partition’s BCH main menu, enter the RECONFIGRESET command to

reset the partition to a ready-for-reconﬁg state.

The BCH interface’s RECONFIGRESET command resets all cells in the

partition, performs any partition reconﬁgurations, and halts all cells at a

boot-is-blocked state, thus making the partition and all its cells inactive.

HP-UX Use the following procedure to reset a partition to a ready-for-reconﬁg

state by issuing the shutdown or reboot command from HP-UX 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.

Step 2. Issue the shutdown or reboot command and specify both the -R and the

-H option.

Both the shutdown -R -H command and the reboot -R -H command

shut down HP-UX, reset all cells in the partition, perform any partition

reconﬁgurations, and halt all cells at a boot-is-blocked state, thus

making the partition and all its cells inactive

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.
