Booting And Shutting Down Hp-Ux; Hp-Ux Support For Cell Local Memory - HP rp7440 Service Manual

— parconfig EFI shell command
The parconfig command is a built-in EFI shell command. Refer to the help
parconfig command for details.
— \EFI\HPUX\vparconfig EFI shell command
The vparconfig command is delivered in the \EFI\HPUX directory on the EFI system
partition of the disk where HP-UX virtual partitions has been installed on a cell-based
HP Integrity server. For usage details, enter the vparconfig command with no options.
— vparenv HP-UX command
On cell-based HP Integrity servers only, the vparenv HP-UX command is installed on
HP-UX 11iv2 (B.11.23) systems that have the HP-UX virtual partitions software. Refer
to vparenv(1m) for details.
NOTE:
command do not support virtual partitions and are effectively in nPars boot mode.
HP recommends that you do not use the parconfig EFI shell command and instead use
the \EFI\HPUX\vparconfig EFI shell command to manage the boot mode for nPartitions
on cell-based HP Integrity servers.
Refer to Installing and Managing HP-UX Virtual Partitions (vPars), Sixth Edition, for details.

Booting and Shutting Down HP-UX

This section presents procedures for booting and shutting down HP-UX on cell-based HP servers
and a procedure for adding HP-UX to the boot options list on HP Integrity servers.
• To determine whether the cell local memory (CLM) configuration is appropriate for HP-UX,
refer to "HP-UX Support for Cell Local Memory" (page
• To add an HP-UX entry to the nPartition boot options list on an HP Integrity server, refer
to "Adding HP-UX to the Boot Options List" (page
• To boot HP-UX, refer to
• To shut down HP-UX, refer to

HP-UX Support for Cell Local Memory

On servers based on the HP sx2000 chipset, each cell has a cell local memory (CLM) parameter,
which determines how firmware interleaves memory residing on the cell.
IMPORTANT:
for HP-UX B.11.23 depend on the applications and workload the OS is running.
To check CLM configuration details from an OS, use Partition Manager or the parstatus
command. For example, the parstatus -V -c# command and parstatus -V -p# command
report the CLM amount requested and CLM amount allocated for the specified cell (-c#, where
# is the cell number) or the specified nPartition (-p#, where # is the nPartition number). For
details, refer to the HP System Partitions Guide or the Partition Manager Web site
(http://docs.hp.com/en/PARMGR2/).
To display CLM configuration details from the EFI Shell on a cell-based HP Integrity server, use
the info mem command. If the amount of noninterleaved memory reported is less than 512 MB,
then no CLM is configured for any cells in the nPartition (and the indicated amount of
noninterleaved memory is used by system firmware). If the info mem command reports more
than 512 MB of noninterleaved memory, then use Partition Manager or the parstatus command
to confirm the CLM configuration details.
