Booting Suse Linux Enterprise Server From The Efi Shell; Shutting Down Linux - HP Rx2620-2 - Integrity - 0 MB RAM Service Manual

Booting SuSE Linux Enterprise Server from the EFI Shell

To boot SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 from the EFI Shell:
1. Access the EFI Shell.
From the system console, choose the EFI Shell entry from the EFI Boot Manager menu to
access the shell.
2. Access the EFI System Partition for the SuSE Linux Enterprise Server boot device.
Use the map EFI Shell command to list the file systems (fs0, fs1, and so on) that are known
and mapped.
To choose a file system to use, enter its mapped name followed by a colon (:). For example,
to operate with the boot device that is mapped as fs3, enter fs3: at the EFI Shell prompt.
3. Enter ELILO at the EFI Shell command prompt to launch the ELILO.EFI loader.
If needed, you can specify the loader's full path by entering \efi\SuSE\elilo at the EFI
Shell command prompt.
4. Allow the ELILO.EFI loader to proceed with booting the SuSE Linux kernel.
By default, the ELILO.EFI loader boots the kernel image and options specified by the
default item in the elilo.conf file.
To interact with the ELILO.EFI loader, interrupt the boot process (for example, enter a
space) at the ELILO boot prompt. To exit the loader use the exit command.

Shutting Down Linux

Use the shutdown command to shut down Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SuSE Linux Enterprise
Server.
The Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SuSE Linux Enterprise Server shutdown command has the
following options:
Halts (powers off) after shutdown.
-h
Use the PC command at the iLO MP Command menu to manually power on or power
off server hardware, as needed.
Reboots after shutdown.
-r
Cancels an already running shutdown.
-c
time When to shut down. (Required.) You can specify time in the following ways:
• Absolute time in the format hh:mm, in which hh is the hour (one or two digits) and
mm is the minute of the hour (two digits).
• Number of minutes to wait in the format +m, in which m is the number of minutes.
• To immediately shut down, use the now command; this is equivalent to using +0
to wait zero minutes.
See the shutdown(8) Linux manpage. Also see the Linux manpage for the poweroff command.
1. From the command line for Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SuSE Linux Enterprise Server, issue
the shutdown command to shut down the operating system.
2. Log in to Linux running on the server you want to shut down.
3. Issue the shutdown command with the desired command-line options, and include the
required time argument to specify when the operating system shutdown is to occur.
For example, shutdown -r +20 shuts down and reboots the server in 20 minutes.
