Rebooting And Resetting Npartitions - HP Rp7410 - Server - 0 MB RAM Administrator's Manual

1. Log in to Linux running on the system 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 Linux has shut down.
2. Issue the shutdown command with the desired command-line options, and include the
required time argument to specify when the operating shutdown is to occur.
For example, shutdown -r +20 will shut down and reboot the system starting in 20
minutes.

Rebooting and Resetting nPartitions

You can reboot and reset nPartitions by using any one of the following procedures:
• "Rebooting and Resetting nPartitions (Service Processor)" (page 135)
• "Rebooting and Resetting nPartitions (BCH Menu)" (page 136)
• "Rebooting and Resetting nPartitions (EFI Boot Manager)" (page 136)
• "Rebooting and Resetting nPartitions (EFI Shell)" (page 137)
• "Rebooting and Resetting nPartitions (HP-UX)" (page 137)
• "Rebooting and Resetting nPartitions (OpenVMS)" (page 137)
• "Rebooting and Resetting nPartitions (Windows)" (page 138)
• "Rebooting and Resetting nPartitions (Linux)" (page 138)
When you perform a reboot or reset of an nPartition, all active cells in the nPartition reboot and
the nPartition returns to the system boot environment (BCH or EFI). On PA-RISC systems, any
inactive cells in the nPartition are not rebooted in this procedure.
NOTE:
If possible shut down the operating system before resetting an nPartition.
Procedure 5-26 Rebooting and Resetting nPartitions (Service Processor)
From the service processor issue the RS command to reset an nPartition. Under normal operation
you first shut down the operating system.
1. Login to the service processor (MP or GSP) and enter CM to access the Command Menu.
2. At the Command menu, enter the RS command, specify which nPartition is to be reset, and
confirm whether to reset it.
The RS command resets all active cells in the nPartition and reboots them past partition
rendezvous to the system boot environment (BCH or EFI) or an operating system.
NOTE:
partition rendezvous have completed. For example, when the nPartition is inactive (all cells
are at BIB) or is at EFI.
Be certain to correctly select which nPartition to be reset.
GSP:CM> RS
This command resets the selected partition.
WARNING: Execution of this command irrecoverably halts all system
