HP Integrity rx8640, HP 9000 rp8440 Server User Service Guide

Use either of the following methods to boot SuSE Linux Enterprise Server:
• Select a SuSE Linux Enterprise Server entry from the EFI Boot Manager menu.
To load the SuSE Linux Enterprise Server OS at the EFI Boot Manager menu, choose its entry
from the list of boot options.
Choosing a Linux entry from the boot options list boots the OS using ELILO.EFI loader and
the elilo.conf file.
• Initiate the ELILO.EFI Linux loader from the EFI Shell.
See the procedure “Booting SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (EFI Shell)” (page 110) for details.
After choosing the file system for the boot device (for example, fs0:), you can initiate the
Linux loader from the EFI Shell prompt by entering the full path for the ELILO.EFI loader.
On a SuSE Linux Enterprise Server boot device EFI System Partition, the full paths to the loader
and configuration files are:
\efi\SuSE\elilo.efi
\efi\SuSE\elilo.conf
By default the ELILO.EFI loader boots Linux using the kernel image and parameters specified
by the default entry in the elilo.conf file on the EFI System Partition for the boot device.
To interact with the ELILO.EFI loader, interrupt the boot process (for example, type a space) at
the ELILO boot prompt. To exit the ELILO.EFI loader, use the exit command.
Procedure 19 Booting SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (EFI Shell)
Use this procedure to boot SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 from the EFI Shell.
See “ACPI Configuration for SuSE Linux Enterprise Server Must Be default” (page 109) for required
configuration details.
1. Access the EFI Shell.
From the system console, select the EFI Shell entry from the EFI Boot Manager menu to access
the shell.
2. Access the EFI System Partition for the SuSE Linux Enterprise Server boot device.
Use the map EFI Shell command to list the file systems (fs0, fs1, and so on) that are known
and have been mapped.
To select a file system 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. Enter ELILO at the EFI Shell command prompt to launch the ELILO.EFI loader.
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 SuSE 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, type a space)
at the ELILO boot prompt. To exit the loader, use the exit command.
Shutting Down Linux
Use the shutdown command to shut down Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SuSE Linux Enterprise
Server.
The Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SuSE Linux Enterprise Server shutdown command includes the
following options:
-h Halt after shutdown.
