HP Integrity rx7640 and HP 9000 rp7440 Servers User Service Guide

1. Log in to HP-UX running on the nPartition that you want to shut down.
Log in to the management processor for the server and use the Console menu to access the
system console. Accessing the console through the MP enables you to maintain console access
to the system after HP-UX has shut down.
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.
On cell-based HP Integrity servers, the shutdown -h command puts an nPartition into
the shutdown for reconfiguration state; for details, see the discussion of shutdown -R
-H in this list.
• Shut down HP-UX and reboot the nPartition.
Issue the shutdown -r command to shut down and reboot the nPartition.
On cell-based HP Integrity servers, the shutdown -r command is equivalent to the
shutdown -R command.
• 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. For details, see
“ACPI Softpowerdown Configuration—OS Shutdown Behavior” (page 79).
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.
Booting and Shutting Down HP OpenVMS I64
This section presents procedures for booting and shutting down HP OpenVMS I64 on cell-based
HP Integrity servers and procedures for adding HP OpenVMS to the boot options list.
• To determine whether the cell local memory (CLM) configuration is appropriate for HP
OpenVMS, see “HP OpenVMS I64 Support for Cell Local Memory” (page 92).
• To add an HP OpenVMS entry to the boot options list, see “Adding HP OpenVMS to the Boot
Options List” (page 92).
• To boot HP OpenVMS on a cell-based HP Integrity server, see “Booting HP OpenVMS”
(page 93).
• To shut down HP OpenVMS, see “Shutting Down HP OpenVMS” (page 95).
