Booting and Resetting Superdome Partitions

Procedures for Booting and Resetting Partitions

Chapter 5 271

The following example shows using the PATH command to list the

partition’s boot paths, then accessing the BCH conﬁguration menu and

issuing the AU command to list the partition’s auto-start setting.

HP-UX Use this procedure to list a partition’s boot settings with HP-UX

commands. You can get information about the local partition or any of

the other, remote partitions in the Superdome complex.

NOTE Use the parstatus command to get partition boot information.

The setboot command only provides accurate information about the

local partition’s PRI and ALT boot paths. The setboot information about

auto-start and auto-search is not relevant to the local partition.

Step 1. Log in to HP-UX running on the partition.

You can log in to HP-UX on the partition either by directly connecting

with telnet or rlogin, or by logging in to its complex’s GSP and

accessing the partition’s console.

Step 2. Issue the parstatus -V -p

command to list detailed information about

the speciﬁed partition, including boot-related details.
