Procedure 5-1 1 Single-User Mode HP-UX Booting (EFI Shell)
From the EFI Shell environment, boot in single-user mode by stopping the boot process at the
HPUX.EFI interface (the HP-UX Boot Loader prompt, HPUX>) entering the boot -is vmunix
command. The EFI Shell is available only on HP Integrity servers.
Refer to "ACPI Configuration for HP-UX Must Be default" (page 110)
details.
1. Access the EFI Shell environment for the nPartition on which you want to boot HP-UX in
single-user mode.
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. Access the EFI System Partition (fsX: where X is the file system number) for the device
from which you want to boot HP-UX.
3. When accessing the EFI System Partition for the desired boot device, issue the HPUX command
to initiate the \EFI\HPUX\HPUX.EFI loader on the device you are accessing.
4. Boot to the HP-UX Boot Loader prompt (HPUX>) by pressing any key within the 10 seconds
given for interrupting the HP-UX boot process. You will use the HPUX.EFI loader to boot
HP-UX in single-user mode in the next step.
After you press any key, the HPUX.EFI interface (the HP-UX Boot Loader prompt, HPUX>)
is provided. For help using the HPUX.EFI loader, enter the help command. To return to
the EFI Shell, enter exit.
