2. Boot the desired device using the BOOT command at the BCH interface, and specify that the
nPartition stop at the ISL prompt prior to booting (reply y to the "stop at the ISL prompt"
question).
3. From the ISL prompt, issue the appropriate Secondary System Loader (hpux) command to
boot the HP-UX kernel in the desired mode.
To boot HP-UX in LVM-maintenance mode:
ISL> hpux -lm boot /stand/vmunix
4. Exit the console and management processor interfaces if you are finished using them.
To exit the BCH environment, press ^B (Control-B); this exits the nPartition console and
returns to the management processor Main Menu. To exit the management processor, type
X at the Main Menu.
Procedure 5-13 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.
Refer to “ACPI Configuration for HP-UX Must Be default” (page 110) for required configuration
details.
1. Access the EFI Shell environment 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 EFI Boot Manager menu (the main
EFI menu). If you are at another EFI menu, choose the Exit option from the submenus until
you return to the screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading.
From the EFI Boot Manager menu, choose the EFI Shell menu option to access the EFI Shell
environment.
2. Access the EFI System Partition (fsX: where X is the file system 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 initiate the \EFI\HPUX\HPUX.EFI loader on the device you are accessing.
4. Type any key within the 10 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 management processor interfaces if you are finished using them.
To exit the EFI environment, press ^B (Control-B); this exits the nPartition console and
returns to the management processor Main Menu. To exit the management processor, type
X at the Main Menu.
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:
