Booting and Shutting Down HP-UX
This section covers booting and shutting down HP-UX on entry-class HP Integrity servers.
• To add an HP-UX entry to the boot options list, refer to “Adding HP-UX to the Boot Options List”.
• To boot HP-UX, use the following procedures:
— “Standard HP-UX Booting” on page 83 describes the standard ways to boot HP-UX. Typically this
results in booting HP-UX in multi-user mode.
— “Single-User Mode HP-UX Booting” on page 85 describes how to boot HP-UX in single-user mode.
— “LVM Maintenance Mode HP-UX Booting” on page 86 describes how to boot HP-UX in Logical Volume
Management (LVM) maintenance mode.
• To shut down the HP-UX operating system, refer to “Shutting Down HP-UX” on page 87.
Adding HP-UX to the Boot Options List
This section describes how to add an HP-UX entry to the system boot options list.
You can add the \EFI\HPUX\HPUX.EFI loader to the boot options list from the EFI Shell or EFI Boot
Configuration menu (or in some versions of EFI, the Boot Option Maintenance Menu).
NOTE On HP Integrity servers, the operating system installer automatically adds an entry to the boot
options list.
Adding an HP-UX Boot Option
This procedure adds an HP-UX item to the boot options list from the EFI Shell.
To add an HP-UX boot option when logged in to HP-UX, use the setboot command. For details
refer to the setboot (1M) manpage.
Step 1. Access the EFI Shell environment.
Log in to the iLO MP and enter CO to access the system console.
When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the EFI Boot Manager menu (the main EFI
menu). If you are at another EFI menu, choose the
Exit option from the submenus until you return
to the screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading.
From the EFI Boot Manager menu, choose the
EFI Shell menu option to access the EFI Shell
environment.
Step 2. Access the EFI System Partition (fsX: where X is the file system number) for the device from which
you want to boot HP-UX.
For example, enter fs2: to access the EFI System Partition for the bootable file system number 2.
The EFI Shell prompt changes to reflect the file system currently accessed.
The full path for the HP-UX loader is \EFI\HPUX\HPUX.EFI and it should be on the device you are
accessing.
