BCH interface or by using the parstatus HP-UX command.

This section covers listing a partition’s boot settings.

boot settings.

BCH Use this procedure to list a partition’s boot settings using the BCH

interface.

Step 1. Log in to the Superdome complex’s GSP, access the partition’s console,

and access the BCH main menu.

From the partition console you access the partition’s BCH interface. If

the partition is not at the BCH interface you must either boot the

partition or shut down HP-UX to return to the BCH interface.

Step 2. Access the BCH menu that provides the information you want to list.

The BCH interface’s main menu, the information menu, and the

conﬁguration menu provide commands for listing (and setting) boot

options for the partition.

You can perform this task using the BCH interface or

HP-UX commands.

The BCH interface provides the most information about boot settings.
