HP Integrity rx7640 and HP 9000 rp7440 Servers User Service Guide

• BOOT LAN INSTALL or BOOT LAN.ip-address INSTALL
The BOOT... INSTALL commands boot HP-UX from the default HP-UX install server or
from the server specified by ip-address.
• BOOT path
This command boots the device at the specified path. You can specify the path in HP-UX
hardware path notation (for example, 0/0/2/0/0.13) or in path label format (for
example, P0 or P1) .
If you specify the path in path label format, then path refers to a device path reported
by the last SEARCH command.
After you issue the BOOT command, the BCH interface prompts you to specify whether you
want to stop at the ISL prompt.
To boot the /stand/vmunix HP-UX kernel from the device without stopping at the ISL prompt,
enter n to automatically proceed past ISL and execute the contents of the AUTO file on the
chosen device. (By default the AUTO file is configured to load /stand/vmunix.)
Main Menu: Enter command or menu > BOOT PRI

To boot an HP-UX kernel other than /stand/vmunix, or to boot HP-UX in single-user or
LVM-maintenance mode, stop at the ISL prompt and specify the appropriate arguments to the
hpux loader.
4. Exit the console and management processor interfaces if you are finished using them.
To exit the BCH environment, press ^B (Control+B); this exits the nPartition console and returns
to the management processor Main Menu. To exit the management processor, enter X at the
Main Menu.
Single-User Mode HP-UX Booting
This section describes how to boot HP-UX in single-user mode on cell-based HP 9000 servers.
Procedure 22 Single-User Mode HP-UX Booting (BCH Menu)
From the BCH Menu, you can boot HP-UX in single-user mode by issuing the BOOT command,
stopping at the ISL interface, and issuing hpux loader options. The BCH Menu is available only
on HP 9000 servers.
1. Access the BCH Main Menu for the nPartition on which you want to boot HP-UX in single-user
mode.
Log in to the management processor, and enter CO to access the Console list. Select the
nPartition console. When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the BCH Main Menu
(the Main Menu: Enter command or menu> prompt). If you are at a BCH menu other
than the Main Menu, then enter MA to return to the BCH Main Menu.
2. Boot the desired device by using the BOOT command at the BCH interface, and specify that
the nPartition stop at the ISL prompt prior to booting (reply y to the “stop at the ISL prompt”
question).
Main Menu: Enter command or menu > BOOT 0/0/2/0/0.13
