Starting your HP 9000 V-Class Server

Bringing your V-Class server to a usable state involves two systems and
their hardware and software. This section provides a brief overview of
the process; for complete instructions, see the Managing Systems and
Workgroups.
A V-Class server consists of two systems:
• Teststation
• Boots the V-Class server
• Monitors the V-Class server for hardware errors
• Debugs a hung system
• Runs HP-UX
• V-Class node
• Hosts OpenBoot PROM (OBP) software
• Runs HP-UX
The boot procedure differs according to the value of the Autoboot flag.
See "Enabling Autoboot" on page 49 for information on how to set
Autoboot. After you power-up your V-Class server, if Autoboot is set to:
• True, OBP automatically starts HP-UX. (Press the
seconds to interrupt the boot process and enter bootmenu commands.)
• False, you must:
• Start OBP at the teststation's HP-UX prompt by entering the
following command:
do_reset
• Start the V-Class server using default values at OBP's default
prompt by entering the following command:
boot
