An Overview of nPartition Boot and Reset
Listing nPartition Boot Settings
HP System Partitions Guide: Administration for nPartitions, rev 5.1 179
From the nPartition console you access the nPartition’s BCH interface. If
the nPartition is not at the BCH interface, you must either boot the
nPartition or shut down HP-UX to return to the BCH interface.
Step 2. Access the BCH menu that provides the information you want to list.
The BCH interface’s Main menu, Information menu, and Configuration menu
provide commands for listing (and setting) boot options for the
nPartition.
Use the following list to determine which BCH menu and command
provides the boot information that interests you.
• BCH Main menu
If you are at one of the other BCH menus, enter MA to return to the
BCH interface’s Main menu.
• BCH Configuration menu
From the BCH main menu, enter CO to access the Configuration
menu.
