From the BCH Menu, you can boot HP-UX in LVM-maintenance mode by issuing the BOOT
command, stopping at the ISL interface, and issuing hpux loader options. The BCH Menu is
available only on HP 9000 servers.
1. Access the BCH Main Menu for the nPartition on which you want to boot HP-UX in
LVM-maintenance mode.
Log in to the management processor (MP) and enter CO to access the Console list. Choose
the nPartition console. When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the BCH Main
Menu (the Main Menu: Enter command or menu> prompt). If you are at a BCH menu
other than the Main Menu, then enter MA to return to the BCH Main Menu.
