LVM-Maintenance Mode HP-UX Booting
You can boot HP-UX in LVM-maintenance mode by using the following procedure:
Procedure E-4 LVM-Maintenance Mode HP-UX Booting [EFI Shell]
From the EFI Shell environment, boot in LVM-maintenance mode by stopping the boot process
at the HPUX.EFI interface (the HP-UX Boot Loader prompt, HPUX>) entering the boot -lm
vmunix command. The EFI Shell is available only on HP Integrity servers.
For required configuration details, see “ACPI Configuration for HP-UX Must Be “default””
(page 205).
1. Access the EFI Shell environment for the nPartition on which you want to boot HP-UX in
LVM-maintenance mode.
a. Log in to the MP and enter CO to access the Console list.
b. Select the nPartition console.
When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the EFI Boot Manager menu (the
main EFI menu). If at another EFI menu, select Exit from the sub-menus until you return
to the screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading.
c. From the EFI Boot Manager menu, select EFI Shell to access the EFI Shell environment.
2. Access the EFI System Partition (fsX: where X is the filesystem number) for the device
from which you want to boot HP-UX.
3. When accessing the EFI System Partition for the desired boot device, issue the HPUX command
to invoke the \EFI\HPUX\HPUX.EFI loader on the selected device.
4. Press any key within the ten 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 MP interfaces if finished using them.
To exit the EFI environment enter ^B (Control-B); this exits the nPartition console and
returns you to the MP Main Menu. To exit the MP, enter X at the Main Menu.
Booting the Microsoft Windows Operating System
You can boot the Windows Server 2003 operating system on an HP Integrity server by using the
EFI Boot Manager to select the appropriate Windows item from the boot options list.
