Booting Hp-Ux In Single-User Mode (Efi Shell) - HP Rx2620-2 - Integrity - 0 MB RAM Service Manual

Booting HP-UX in Single-User Mode (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>) and entering the boot -is
vmunix command.
1. Access the EFI Shell environment for the system on which you want to boot HP-UX in
single-user mode.
a. To access the server console, log in to iLO and enter CO.
b. 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 Exit from the submenus until
you return to the screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading.
c. To access the EFI Shell environment, choose EFI Shell from the EFI Boot Manager menu.
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. Use the HPUX.EFI loader to boot HP-UX
in single-user mode in the next step.
After you press a key, the HPUX.EFI interface (the HP-UX Boot Loader prompt, HPUX>)
launches. For help using the HPUX.EFI loader, enter the help command. To return to the
EFI Shell, enter exit.
