HP Integrity rx7640 and HP 9000 rp7440 Servers User Service Guide

2. Issue the shutdown command with the appropriate command-line options.
The command-line options you specify dictate the way in which HP-UX is shut down, whether
the nPartition is rebooted, and whether any nPartition configuration changes take place (for
example, adding or removing cells).
Use the following list to choose an HP-UX shutdown option for your nPartition:
• Shut down HP-UX and halt the nPartition.
• Shut down HP-UX and reboot the nPartition.
Issue the shutdown -r command to shut down and reboot the nPartition.
• Perform a reboot for reconfiguration of the nPartition.
Issue the HP-UX shutdown -R command to perform a reboot for reconfiguration.
This shuts down HP-UX, reconfigures the nPartition if needed, and reboots the nPartition.
• Reboot the nPartition and put it into the shutdown for reconfiguration state.
Use the HP-UX shutdown -R -H command to hold the nPartition in the shutdown for
reconfiguration state.
This leaves the nPartition and all its cells in an inactive state (the nPartition can be
reconfigured remotely), unless the normal behavior has been modified.
To reboot the nPartition, you must do so manually by using the BO command at the
management processor Command Menu.
If HP-UX is halted on the nPartition, thus not allowing you to use the shutdown command,
you can reboot or reset the nPartition by issuing commands from the management processor
Command Menu.
