This section has procedures for booting and shutting down
HP OpenVMS I64 on cell-based HP Integrity servers and procedures for adding
HP OpenVMS to the boot options list. HP OpenVMS I64 Support for Cell Local Memory | |
On servers based on the HP sx1000 chipset or HP sx2000
chipset, each cell has a cell local memory (CLM) parameter, which determines
how firmware interleaves memory residing on the cell. | | | |  | NOTE: HP OpenVMS I64 does not support using CLM. Before booting
OpenVMS on an nPartition, you must ensure that the CLM parameter for each
cell in the nPartition is set to zero (0). Although you might be able to boot
OpenVMS on an nPartition with CLM configured, any memory configured as cell
local is unusable, and such a configuration is untested and unsupported. | | | | |
To check CLM configuration details from an OS, use Partition
Manager or the parstatus command. For example, the parstatus
-V -c# command and parstatus -V
-p# command report the CLM amount requested
and CLM amount allocated for the specified cell (-c#,
where # is the cell number) or the specified nPartition
(-p#, where # is
the nPartition number). To check CLM configuration details from the EFI Shell on
a cell-based HP Integrity server, use the info mem command.
If the amount of "NonInterleaved Memory" reported is less than 512 MB then
no CLM is configured for any cells in the nPartition (and the indicated amount
of noninterleaved memory is used by system firmware). If the info
mem command reports more than 512 MB of noninterleaved memory then
use use Partition Manager or the parstatus command to confirm
the CLM configuration details. To set the CLM configuration, use Partition Manager or
the parmodify command. Adding HP OpenVMS to the Boot Options List | |
On HP Integrity servers, you can use the following procedures
to manage boot options list entries for HP OpenVMS. You can add the \efi\vms\vms_loader.efi loader
to the boot options list from the EFI Shell or EFI Boot Configuration menu
(or in some versions of EFI, the Boot Option Maintenance menu). Procedure 5-15 Adding an HP OpenVMS Boot Option This procedure adds an HP OpenVMS item to the boot options
list from the EFI Shell. To add an HP OpenVMS boot option when logged in to OpenVMS
use the @SYS$MANAGER:BOOT_OPTIONS.COM command. Access the EFI
Shell environment. Log in to the management processor
and enter CO to access the system console. When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the
EFI Boot Manager menu (the main EFI menu). If at another EFI menu, select
the Exit option from the sub-menus until you return to
the screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading. From the EFI Boot Manager menu, select the EFI
Shell menu option to access the EFI Shell environment. Access the EFI
System Partition (fsX: where X is
the file system number) for the device from which you want to boot HP OpenVMS. 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 full path for the HP OpenVMS loader is \efi\vms\vms_loader.efi and
it should be on the device you are accessing. At the EFI Shell
environment, use the bcfg command to manage the boot options
list. You can also accomplish this step by using
the \efi\vms\vms_bcfg.efi and \efi\vms\vms_show.efi utilities,
which are available on the EFI System Partition for HP OpenVMS. Both vms_bcfg and vms_show are
unique utilities for OpenVMS I64. The vms_bcfg utility
differs from the bcfg EFI command in that vms_bcfg enables
you to specify boot devices using VMS-style device names. The bcfg command includes the following
options for managing the boot options list: bcfg boot dump —
Display all items in the boot options list for the system. bcfg boot rm # —
Remove the item number specified by # from the boot
options list. bcfg boot mv #a #b —
Move the item number specified by #a to the position
specified by #b in the boot options list. bcfg boot add # file.efi "Description" — Add a new boot option to the position in the boot options list
specified by #. The new boot option references file.efi and
is listed with the title specified by Description. For example, bcfg boot add 1 \efi\vms\vms_loader.efi
"HP OpenVMS"adds an HP OpenVMS item as the first entry in the boot
options list.
See the help bcfg command for details. 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.
Booting HP OpenVMS | |
To boot HP OpenVMS I64 on a cell-based HP Integrity server
use either of the following procedures. Procedure 5-16 Booting HP OpenVMS (EFI Boot Manager) From the EFI Boot Manager menu, select an item from the
boot options list to boot HP OpenVMS using the selected boot option. Access the EFI
Boot Manager menu for the system on which you want to boot HP OpenVMS. Log in to the management processor (MP) and enter CO to
select the system console. When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the
EFI Boot Manager menu (the main EFI menu). If at another EFI menu, select
the Exit option from the sub-menus until you return to
the screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading. At the EFI Boot
Manager menu, select 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 use when booting the device. Press Enter to
initiate booting using the selected boot option. Exit the console
and management processor interfaces when finished using them. To exit the EFI environment type ^B (Control-B);
this exits the system console and returns to the management processor Main
Menu. To exit the management processor, type X at the Main
Menu.
Procedure 5-17 Booting HP OpenVMS (EFI Shell) From the EFI Shell environment, to boot HP OpenVMS on a
device first access the EFI System Partition (for example fs0:)
for the root device and enter \efi\vms\vms_loader to
initiate the OpenVMS loader. Access the EFI
Shell environment for the system on which you want to boot HP OpenVMS. Log in to the management processor (MP) and enter CO to
select the system console. When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the
EFI Boot Manager menu (the main EFI menu). If at another EFI menu, select
the Exit option from the sub-menus until you return to
the screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading. From the EFI Boot Manager menu, select the EFI
Shell menu option to access the EFI Shell environment. 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. Access the EFI
System Partition (fsX: where X is
the file system number) for the device from which you want to boot HP OpenVMS. 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. Also, the file system number might change each time it
is mapped (for example, when the system boots, or when the map -r command
is issued). When accessing
the EFI System Partition for the desired boot device, issue the \efi\vms\vms_loader command
to initiate the vms_loader.efi loader on
the device you are accessing. fs5:> \efi\vms\vms_loader.efi

Shutting Down HP OpenVMS | |
This section describes how to shut down the HP OpenVMS
OS on cell-based HP Integrity servers. Procedure 5-18 Shutting Down HP OpenVMS From the HP OpenVMS command line, issue the @SYS$SYSTEM:SHUTDOWN command
to shut down the OpenVMS OS. Log in to HP
OpenVMS running on the system that you want to shut down. You
should log in to the MP for the server and use the Console menu to access
the system console. Accessing the console through the MP enables you to maintain
console access to the system after HP OpenVMS has shut down. At the OpenVMS
command line, issue the @SYS$SYSTEM:SHUTDOWN command
and specify the shutdown options in response to the prompts given. >@SYS$SYSTEM:SHUTDOWN
SHUTDOWN -- Perform an Orderly System Shutdown
on node RSNVMS
How many minutes until final shutdown [0]:
Reason for shutdown [Standalone]:
Do you want to spin down the disk volumes [NO]?
Do you want to invoke the site-specific shutdown procedure [YES]?
Should an automatic system reboot be performed [NO]? yes
When will the system be rebooted [shortly via automatic reboot]:
Shutdown options (enter as a comma-separated list):
REBOOT_CHECK Check existence of basic system files
SAVE_FEEDBACK Save AUTOGEN feedback information from this boot
DISABLE_AUTOSTART Disable autostart queues
POWER_OFF Request console to power-off the system
Shutdown options [NONE]:
%SHUTDOWN-I-OPERATOR, this terminal is now an operator's console
... |
| | | | | NOTE: HP OpenVMS I64 currently does not support the POWER_OFF shutdown
option. | | | | |
The @SYS$SYSTEM:SHUTDOWN.COM command
prompts establish the shutdown behavior, including the shutdown time and whether
the system is rebooted after it is shut down. To perform a reboot for reconfig
from OpenVMS I64 running on an nPartition, issue @SYS$SYSTEM:SHUTDOWN.COM from
OpenVMS, and then enter Yes at the "Should an automatic
system reboot be performed" prompt To perform a shutdown for reconfig
of an nPartition running OpenVMS I64: first issue @SYS$SYSTEM:SHUTDOWN.COM from
OpenVMS and enter No at the "Should an automatic system
reboot be performed" prompt, then access the MP and, from the MP Command Menu,
issue the RR command and specify the nPartition that is
to be shutdown for reconfig.
