Booting and Resetting nPartitions
Rebooting or Resetting an nPartition
HP System Partitions Guide: Administration for nPartitions, rev 5.1 216
-> The selected partition will be reset.
GSP:CM>
If you are accessing the service processor using a single-partition-user
account, the RS command selects which nPartition is to be reset: the
nPartition that your account allows you to access.
If using an operator or administrator service processor account, you can
select which of the server complex’s nPartitions you want to reset.
Rebooting or Resetting an nPartition [BCH]
This procedure (BCH interface REBOOT command) resets an nPartition
using the nPartition’s BCH interface.
Step 1. Login to the server complex’s service processor, access the nPartition’s
console, and access the BCH Main menu.
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. From the nPartition’s BCH main menu, enter the REBOOT command to
reboot the nPartition.
The BCH interface’s REBOOT command resets all active cells in the
nPartition and reboots them past partition rendezvous to BCH or
HP-UX.
Main Menu: Enter command or menu > REBOOT

Rebooting or Resetting an nPartition [HP-UX]
This procedure (shutdown -r command) resets an nPartition from
HP-UX running on the nPartition.
Step 1. Login to HP-UX running on the nPartition you want to reset.
You can login to HP-UX on the nPartition either by directly connecting
(with the telnet or rlogin commands) or by logging in to its complex’s
service processor (GSP or MP) and using the Console menu to access the
nPartition’s console.
Step 2. Issue the shutdown -r command to reset the nPartition.
