HP Integrity rx7640 and HP 9000 rp7440 Servers User Service Guide

1. Access the EFI Shell environment for the nPartition on which you want to boot HP-UX in
LVM-maintenance 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 EFI Boot Manager menu (the main
EFI menu). If you are at another EFI menu, select the Exit option from the submenus until you
return to the screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading.
From the EFI Boot Manager menu, select the EFI Shell menu option to access the EFI Shell
environment.
2. Access the EFI System Partition for the device from which you want to boot HP-UX (fsX: where
X is the file system number).
3. When accessing the EFI System Partition for the desired boot device, issue the HPUX command
to initiate the \EFI\HPUX\HPUX.EFI loader on the device you are accessing.
4. Type any key within the 10 seconds given for interrupting the HP-UX boot process. This stops
the boot process at the HPUX.EFI interface (the HP-UX Boot Loader prompt, HPUX>).
5. At the HPUX.EFI interface, enter the boot -lm vmunix command to boot HP-UX (the
/stand/vmunix kernel) in LVM-maintenance (-lm) mode.
6. Exit the console and management processor interfaces if you are finished using them.
To exit the EFI 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.
Shutting Down HP-UX
When HP-UX is running on an nPartition, you can shut down HP-UX using the shutdown command.
On nPartitions you have the following options when shutting down HP-UX:
• To shut down HP-UX and reboot an nPartition: shutdown -r
On cell-based HP Integrity servers, the shutdown -r command is equivalent to the shutdown
-R command.
• To shut down HP-UX and halt an nPartition: shutdown -h
On cell-based HP Integrity servers, the shutdown -h command is equivalent to the shutdown
-R -H command.
• To perform a reboot for reconfiguration of an nPartition: shutdown -R
• To hold an nPartition at a shutdown for reconfiguration state: shutdown -R -H
For details, see the shutdown(1M) manpage.
NOTE: On HP rx7620, rx7640, rx8620, and rx8640 servers, you can configure the nPartition
behavior when an OS is shut down and halted (shutdown -h or shutdown -R -H). The two
options are to have hardware power off when the OS is halted, or to have the nPartition be made
inactive (all cells are in a boot-is-blocked state).
The normal behavior for HP-UX shut down and halt is for the nPartition to be made inactive.
For details, see “ACPI Softpowerdown Configuration—OS Shutdown Behavior” (page 79).
Procedure 9 Shutting Down HP-UX
From the HP-UX command line, issue the shutdown command to shut down the HP-UX OS.
