HP Integrity rx2800 i2 Server User Service Guide

6. Allow the HPUX.EFI loader to proceed with the boot command specified in the AUTO file,
or manually specify the boot command.
By default, the HPUX.EFI loader boots using the loader commands found in the \EFI\HPUX\
AUTO file on the UEFI System Partition of the selected boot device. The AUTO file typically
contains the boot vmunix command.
To interact with the HPUX.EFI loader, interrupt the boot process (for example, enter a space)
within the time-out period provided by the loader. To exit the loader, use the exit command,
which returns you to UEFI.
Booting HP-UX in single-user mode
1. Use steps 1–5 from “Booting HP-UX from the UEFI Shell” (page 40) to access the UEFI shell,
and launch the HPUX.UEFI loader.
2. Access the HP-UX Boot Loader prompt (HPUX>) by pressing any key within the 10 seconds
given for interrupting the HP-UX boot process. Use the HPUX.EFI loader to boot HP-UX in
single-user mode in step 3.
After you press a key, the HPUX.EFI interface (the HP-UX Boot Loader prompt, HPUX>)
launches. For help using the HPUX.EFI loader, enter the help command. To return to the
UEFI Shell, enter exit.
3. At the HPUX.EFI interface (the HP-UX Boot loader prompt, HPUX>) enter the boot -is
vmunix command to boot HP-UX (the /stand/vmunix kernel) in single-user (-is) mode.
Booting HP-UX in LVM-maintenance mode
The procedure for booting HP-UX into LVM Maintenance Mode is the same as for booting into
single user mode (“Booting HP-UX in single-user mode” (page 41)), except use the -lm boot option
instead of the -is boot option:
HPUX> boot -lm vmunix
Shutting down HP-UX
For more information, see the shutdown(1M) manpage.
To shut down HP-UX running on a server:
1. Log in to HP-UX running on the server that you want to shut down, or log in to iLO MP for the
server and use the Console menu to access the system console. Accessing the console through
iLO MP enables you to maintain console access to the server after HP-UX has shut down.
2. Use the shutdown command with the appropriate command-line options.
The command-line options you specify determines the way in which HP-UX shuts down and
whether the server is rebooted.
Choose an HP-UX shutdown option for your server:
• To shut down HP-UX and halt (power off) the server, use the shutdown -h command.
To reboot a halted server, power on the server by using the PC command at the iLO MP
Command menu.
• To shut down HP-UX and reboot the server, use the shutdown -r command.
