Booting and Resetting nPartitions
Holding an nPartition at the Ready for Reconfig State
HP System Partitions Guide: Administration for nPartitions, rev 5.1 222
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 GSP account, you can select which
of the server complex’s nPartitions you want to reset.
Holding an nPartition at the Ready for Reconfig State [BCH]
This procedure (RECONFIGRESET command) resets an nPartition to the
ready for reconfig state from the nPartition’s BCH interface.
Step 1. Login to the server complex’s service processor, access the nPartition’s
console, and access the BCH interface.
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 interface, enter the RECONFIGRESET
command to reset the nPartition to the ready for reconfig state.
The RECONFIGRESET 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.

Holding an nPartition at the Ready for Reconfig State [HP-UX]
This procedure (shutdown -R -H command) resets an nPartition to the
ready for reconfig state from HP-UX running on the nPartition.
Step 1. Login to HP-UX running on the nPartition.
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 -H command to reset the nPartition to the
ready for reconfig state.
