Booting and Shutting Down HP-UX

Procedure 5-7 HP-UX Booting (BCH Menu)

From the BCH Menu, use the BOOT command to boot the HP-UX OS. The BCH Menu is available only on HP 9000 servers.

1. Access the BCH Main Menu for the nPartition on which you want to boot HP-UX.

   Log in to the management processor (MP) and enter CO to access the Console list. Choose the nPartition console. When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the BCH Main Menu (the Main Menu: Enter command or menu> prompt). If you are at a BCH menu other than the Main Menu, then enter MA to return to the BCH Main Menu.

2. Choose which device you want to boot.

   From the BCH Main Menu, use the PATH command to list any boot path variable settings. The primary (PRI) boot path normally is set to the main boot device for the nPartition. You also can use the SEARCH command to find and list potentially bootable devices for the nPartition.

   Main Menu: Enter command or menu > PATH Primary Boot Path: 0/0/2/0/0.13 0/0/2/0/0.d (hex) HA Alternate Boot Path: 0/0/2/0/0.14 0/0/2/0/0.e (hex) Alternate Boot Path: 0/0/2/0/0.0 0/0/2/0/0.0 (hex) Main Menu: Enter command or menu >

3. Boot the device using the BOOT command from the BCH interface.

   You can issue the BOOT command in any of the following ways:

   • BOOT

     Issuing the BOOT command with no arguments boots the device at the primary (PRI) boot path.

   • BOOT bootvariable

     This command boots the device indicated by the specified boot path, where bootvariable is the PRI, HAA, or ALT boot path.

     For example, BOOT PRI boots the primary boot path.

   • BOOT LAN INSTALL or BOOT LAN.ip-address INSTALL

     The BOOT... INSTALL commands boot HP-UX from the default HP-UX install server or from the server specified by ip-address.

   • BOOT path

     This command boots the device at the specified path. You can specify the path in HP-UX hardware path notation (for example, 0/0/2/0/0.13) or in path label format (for example, P0 or P1) .

     If you specify the path in path label format, then path refers to a device path reported by the last SEARCH command.

   After you issue the BOOT command, the BCH interface prompts you to specify whether you want to stop at the ISL prompt.

   To boot the /stand/vmunix HP-UX kernel from the device without stopping at the ISL prompt, enter n to automatically proceed past ISL and execute the contents of the AUTO file on the chosen device. (By default the AUTO file is configured to load /stand/vmunix.)

   Main Menu: Enter command or menu > BOOT PRI Primary Boot Path: 0/0/1/0/0.15 Do you wish to stop at the ISL prompt prior to booting? (y/n) >> n ISL booting hpux Boot : disk(0/0/1/0/0.15.0.0.0.0.0;0)/stand/vmunix

   To boot an HP-UX kernel other than /stand/vmunix, or to boot HP-UX in single-user or LVM-maintenance mode, stop at the ISL prompt and specify the appropriate arguments to the hpux loader.

4. Exit the console and management processor interfaces if you are finished using them.

   To exit the BCH environment, press ^B (Control-B); this exits the nPartition console and returns to the management processor Main Menu. To exit the management processor, type X at the Main Menu.

Procedure 5-8 HP-UX Booting (EFI Boot Manager)

From the EFI Boot Manager menu, choose an item from the boot options list to boot HP-UX using that boot option. The EFI Boot Manager is available only on HP Integrity servers.

Refer to “ACPI Configuration for HP-UX Must Be default” for required configuration details.

1. Access the EFI Boot Manager menu for the nPartition on which you want to boot HP-UX.

   Log in to the management processor (MP) and enter CO to access the Console list. Choose the nPartition console.

   When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the EFI Boot Manager menu (the main EFI menu). If you are at another EFI menu, choose the Exit option from the submenus until you return to the screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading.

2. At the EFI Boot Manager menu, choose an item from the boot options list.

   Each item in the boot options list references a specific boot device and provides a specific set of boot options or arguments to be used when booting the device.

3. Press Enter to initiate booting using the chosen boot option.

4. Exit the console and management processor interfaces if you are finished using them.

   To exit the EFI environment, press ^B (Control-B); this exits the nPartition console and returns to the management processor Main Menu. To exit the management processor, type X at the Main Menu.

Procedure 5-9 HP-UX Booting (EFI Shell)

From the EFI Shell environment, to boot HP-UX on a device first access the EFI System Partition (for example fs0:) for the root device and then enter HPUX to initiate the loader. The EFI Shell is available only on HP Integrity servers.

Refer to “ACPI Configuration for HP-UX Must Be default” for required configuration details.

1. Access the EFI Shell environment for the nPartition on which you want to boot HP-UX.

   Log in to the management processor (MP) and enter CO to access the Console list. Choose the nPartition console.

   When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the EFI Boot Manager menu (the main EFI menu). If you are at another EFI menu, choose the Exit option from the submenus until you return to the screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading.

   From the EFI Boot Manager menu, choose the EFI Shell menu option to access the EFI Shell environment.

2. At the EFI Shell environment, issue the acpiconfig command to list the current ACPI configuration for the local nPartition.

   On cell-based HP Integrity servers, to boot the HP-UX OS an nPartition must have its ACPI configuration value set to default. If the acpiconfig value is not set to default, then HP-UX cannot boot; in this situation you must reconfigure acpiconfig or booting will be interrupted with a panic when launching the HP-UX kernel.

   To set the ACPI configuration for HP-UX: At the EFI Shell interface enter the acpiconfig default command, and then enter the reset command for the nPartition to reboot with the proper (default) configuration for HP-UX.

3. At the EFI Shell environment, issue the map command to list all currently mapped bootable devices.

   The bootable file systems of interest typically are listed as fs0:, fs1:, and so on.

4. Access the EFI System Partition (fsX: where X is the file system number) for the device from which you want to boot HP-UX.

   For example, enter fs2: to access the EFI System Partition for the bootable file system number 2. The EFI Shell prompt changes to reflect the file system currently accessed.

   The file system number can change each time it is mapped (for example, when the nPartition boots, or when the map -r command is issued).

5. When accessing the EFI System Partition for the desired boot device, issue the HPUX command to initiate the HPUX.EFI loader on the device you are accessing.

   The full path for the loader is \EFI\HPUX\HPUX.EFI and when initiated it references the \EFI\HPUX\AUTO file and proceeds to boot HP-UX using the default boot behavior specified in the AUTO file.

   You are given 10 seconds to interrupt the automatic booting of the default boot behavior. Pressing any key during this 10-second period stops the HP-UX boot process and enables you to interact with the HPUX.EFI loader. To exit the loader (the HPUX> prompt), enter exit (this return you to the EFI Shell).

   To boot the HP-UX OS, do not type anything during the 10-second period given for stopping at the HPUX.EFI loader.

If you are at a BCH menu other than the Main Menu, then enter MA to return to the BCH Main Menu.

2. Boot the desired device using the BOOT command at the BCH interface, and specify that the nPartition stop at the ISL prompt prior to booting (reply y to the "stop at the ISL prompt" question).

   Main Menu: Enter command or menu > BOOT 0/0/2/0/0.13 BCH Directed Boot Path: 0/0/2/0/0.13 Do you wish to stop at the ISL prompt prior to booting? (y/n) >> y Initializing boot Device. .... ISL Revision A.00.42 JUN 19, 1999 ISL>

3. From the ISL prompt, issue the appropriate Secondary System Loader (hpux) command to boot the HP-UX kernel in the desired mode.

   Use the hpux loader to specify the boot mode options and to specify which kernel (such as: /stand/vmunix) to boot on the nPartition.

   • To boot HP-UX in single-user mode:

     ISL> hpux -is boot /stand/vmunix

   • To boot HP-UX at the default run level:

     ISL> hpux boot /stand/vmunix

   To exit the ISL prompt and return to the BCH interface, issue the EXIT command instead of specifying one of the hpux loader commands.

   Refer to the hpux(1M) manpage for a detailed list of hpux loader options.
