LVM Maintenance Mode HP-UX Booting

Use the following procedure to boot HP-UX in Logical Volume Management (LVM) maintenance
mode.

Booting HP-UX in LVM-Maintenance Mode (EFI Shell)

From the EFI Shell environment, boot in LVM-maintenance mode by stopping the boot process
at the HPUX.EFI interface (the HP-UX Boot Loader prompt, HPUX>) and entering the boot -lm
vmunix command.
1. Access the EFI Shell environment for the system on which you want to boot HP-UX in
LVM-maintenance 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. Press any key within the 10 seconds given for interrupting the HP-UX boot process. This
stops the boot process at the HPUX.EFI interface (the HP-UX Boot Loader prompt, HPUX>).
5. At the HPUX.EFI interface, enter the boot -lm vmunix command to boot HP-UX (the
/stand/vmunix kernel) in LVM-maintenance (-lm) mode.
6. Exit the console and iLO MP interfaces when finished using them.
To exit the system console and return to the iLO MP Main Menu, press Ctrl+B. To exit the
iLO MP, enter X at the Main Menu.

Shutting Down HP-UX

To shut down HP-UX running on a system, use the shutdown command. You have the following
options when shutting down HP-UX:
• To shut down and reboot an HP-UX system, use the shutdown -r command.
• To shut down and halt (power off) an HP-UX system, use the shutdown -h command.
For details see the shutdown(1M) manpage and the following procedure:

Shutting Down HP-UX (/sbin/shutdown Command)

From the HP-UX command line, issue the shutdown command to shut down the HP-UX operating
system.
1. Log in to HP-UX running on the system that you want to shut down.
Log in to iLO for the server and use the Console menu to access the system console. Accessing
the console through iLO enables you to maintain console access to the server after HP-UX
has shut down.
2. Issue the shutdown command with the appropriate command-line options.
The command-line options you specify dictate the way in which HP-UX shuts down, and
whether the server is rebooted.
Use the following list to choose an HP-UX shutdown option for your server:
• To shut down HP-UX and halt (power off) the server, issue the shutdown -h command.
To reboot a halted server, you must power on the server using the PC command at the
iLO MP Command menu.
• To shut down HP-UX and reboot the server, issue the shutdown -r command.
