Single-User Mode Hp-Ux Booting - HP rp7440 Service Manual

• BOOT LAN INSTALL or BOOT LAN.ip-address INSTALL
The BOOT... INSTALL commands boot HP-UX from the default HP-UX install server
or from the server specified by ip-address.
• BOOT path
This command boots the device at the specified path. You can specify the path in HP-UX
hardware path notation (for example, 0/0/2/0/0.13) or in path label format (for example,
P0 or P1) .
If you specify the path in path label format, then path refers to a device path reported
by the last SEARCH command.
After you issue the BOOT command, the BCH interface prompts you to specify whether you
want to stop at the ISL prompt.
To boot the /stand/vmunix HP-UX kernel from the device without stopping at the ISL
prompt, enter n to automatically proceed past ISL and execute the contents of the AUTO file
on the chosen device. (By default the AUTO file is configured to load /stand/vmunix.)
Main Menu: Enter command or menu > BOOT PRI
Primary Boot Path:
Do you wish to stop at the ISL prompt prior to booting? (y/n) >> n
ISL booting
Boot
: disk(0/0/1/0/0.15.0.0.0.0.0;0)/stand/vmunix
To boot an HP-UX kernel other than /stand/vmunix, or to boot HP-UX in single-user or
LVM-maintenance mode, stop at the ISL prompt and specify the appropriate arguments to
the hpux loader.
4. Exit the console and management processor interfaces if you are finished using them.
To exit the BCH environment, press ^B (Control+B); this exits the nPartition console and
returns to the management processor Main Menu. To exit the management processor, enter
X at the Main Menu.

Single-User Mode HP-UX Booting

This section describes how to boot HP-UX in single-user mode on cell-based HP 9000 servers.
Procedure 7-2 Single-User Mode HP-UX Booting (BCH Menu)
From the BCH Menu, you can boot HP-UX in single-user mode by issuing the BOOT command,
stopping at the ISL interface, and issuing hpux loader options. The BCH Menu is available only
on HP 9000 servers.
1. Access the BCH Main Menu for the nPartition on which you want to boot HP-UX in
single-user mode.
Log in to the management processor, and enter CO to access the Console list. Select the
nPartition console. When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the BCH Main Menu
(the Main Menu: Enter command or menu> prompt). If you are at a BCH menu other
than the Main Menu, then enter MA to return to the BCH Main Menu.
2. Boot the desired device by using the BOOT command at the BCH interface, and specify that
the nPartition stop at the ISL prompt prior to booting (reply y to the "stop at the ISL prompt"
question).
