reboot be performed" prompt, then access the MP and, from the MP Command Menu, issue the
RR command and specify the nPartition that is to be shutdown for reconfig.
1. Log in to HP OpenVMS running on the system that you want to shut down.
You should log in to the MP for the server and use the Console menu to access the system
console. Accessing the console through the MP enables you to maintain console access to
the system after HP OpenVMS has shut down.
2. At the OpenVMS command line, issue the @SYS$SYSTEM:SHUTDOWN command and enter
No at the "Should an automatic system reboot be performed" prompt.
>@SYS$SYSTEM:SHUTDOWN
SHUTDOWN -- Perform an Orderly System Shutdown
on node RSNVMS
How many minutes until final shutdown [0]:
Reason for shutdown [Standalone]:
Do you want to spin down the disk volumes [NO]?
Do you want to invoke the site-specific shutdown procedure [YES]?
Should an automatic system reboot be performed [NO]? no
When will the system be rebooted [shortly via automatic reboot]:
Shutdown options (enter as a comma-separated list):
REBOOT_CHECK Check existence of basic system files
SAVE_FEEDBACK Save AUTOGEN feedback information from this boot
DISABLE_AUTOSTART Disable autostart queues
POWER_OFF Request console to power-off the system
Shutdown options [NONE]:
%SHUTDOWN-I-OPERATOR, this terminal is now an operator's console
...
NOTE: HP OpenVMS I64 currently does not support the POWER_OFF shutdown option.
3. Login to the service processor (MP or GSP) and enter CM to access the Command Menu.
4. At the service processor Command menu, enter the RR command, specify which nPartition
is to be reset, and confirm whether to reset it to the shutdown for reconfig state.
The service processor RR command resets all cells in the nPartition, performs any nPartition
reconfigurations, and halts all cells at a boot-is-blocked state, thus making the nPartition
and all its cells inactive.
Be certain to select the correct nPartition to be reset. If you are accessing the service processor
using a single-partition-user account, the RR command selects which nPartition is to be reset:
the nPartition that your account allows you to access. If using an operator or administrator
account, you can select which nPartition in the server complex you want to reset.
5. To exit the service processor Command Menu, enter MA to return to the service processor
Main Menu.
At the Main Menu, enter X to exit the service processor interface.
