Shutting Down Hp-Ux - HP rp7440 Service Manual

Procedure 7-3 LVM-Maintenance Mode HP-UX Booting (BCH Menu)
From the BCH Menu, you can boot HP-UX in LVM-maintenance mode by issuing the BOOT
command, stopping at the ISL interface, and issuing hpux loader options. 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 in
LVM-maintenance mode.
Log in to the management processor, and enter CO to access the Console list. Select 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. Boot the desired device by 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).
3. From the ISL prompt, issue the appropriate Secondary System Loader (hpux) command to
boot the HP-UX kernel in the desired mode.
To boot HP-UX in LVM-maintenance mode:
ISL> hpux -lm boot /stand/vmunix
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, enter
X at the Main Menu.

Shutting Down HP-UX

When HP-UX is running on an nPartition, you can shut down HP-UX using the shutdown
command.
On nPartitions you have the following options when shutting down HP-UX:
• To shut down HP-UX and reboot an nPartition: shutdown -r
• To shut down HP-UX and halt an nPartition: shutdown -h
• To perform a reboot for reconfiguration of an nPartition: shutdown -R
• To hold an nPartition at a shutdown for reconfiguration state: shutdown -R -H
Procedure 7-4 Shutting Down HP-UX
From the HP-UX command line, issue the shutdown command to shut down the HP-UX OS.
1. Log in to HP-UX running on the nPartition that you want to shut down.
Log in to the management processor 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-UX has shut down.
