HP Integrity rx8620 Server User Service Guide

To interact with the ELILO.EFI loader, interrupt the boot process (for example, enter a space)
at the ELILO boot prompt. To exit the ELILO.EFI loader use the exit command.
Procedure E-7 SuSE Linux Enterprise Server Operating System Booting from the EFI Shell
To boot SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 from the EFI Shell, follow these steps:
For required configuration details, see “ACPI Configuration for SuSE Linux Enterprise Server
Must Be “default”” (page 211).
1. Access the EFI Shell.
To access the shell, select EFI Shell from the EFI Boot Manager menu from the system
console.
2. Access the EFI System Partition for the SuSE Linux Enterprise Server boot device.
Use the map EFI Shell command to list the filesystems (fs0, fs1, and so on) that are known
and have been mapped.
To select a filesystem to use, enter its mapped name followed by a colon (:). For example,
to operate with the boot device that is mapped as fs3, enter fs3: at the EFI Shell prompt.
3. To launch the ELILO.EFI loader, enter ELILO at the EFI Shell command prompt.
If needed, you can specify the loader’s full path by entering \efi\SuSE\elilo at the EFI
Shell command prompt.
4. Allow the ELILO.EFI loader to proceed with booting the Red Hat Linux kernel.
By default, the ELILO.EFI loader boots the kernel image and options specified by the
default item in the elilo.conf file.
To interact with the ELILO.EFI loader, interrupt the boot process (for example, enter a
space) at the ELILO boot prompt. To exit the loader use the exit command.
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 nPartition-capable 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 nPartition-capable HP Integrity servers, the shutdown -h command is equivalent to
the shutdown -R -H command.
• To perform a reboot for reconfig of an nPartition: shutdown -R
• To hold an nPartition at a shutdown for reconfig state: shutdown -R -H
For details, see the shutdown(1M) manpage.
NOTE: You can configure the nPartition behavior when an OS is shutdown 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 shutdown and halt is for the nPartition be made inactive.
For details, see ACPI “Softpowerdown” Configuration OS Shutdown Behavior (page 204).
Procedure E-8 Shutting Down HP-UX [/sbin/shutdown command]
To shut down the HP-UX operating system, issue the shutdown command from the HP-UX
command line.
