Booting the SuSE Linux Enterprise Server Operating System

You can boot the SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 operating system on HP Integrity servers using
either of these methods:
"Selecting a SuSE Linux Enterprise Server entry from the EFI Boot Manager Menu" (page 133)
"Booting SuSE Linux Enterprise Server from the EFI Shell" (page

Selecting a SuSE Linux Enterprise Server entry from the EFI Boot Manager Menu

1. Access the EFI Boot Manager menu.
2. Select its entry from the list of boot options.
3. Choose a Linux entry from the boot options list to boot the operating system using ELILO.EFI
loader and the elilo.conf file.

Booting SuSE Linux Enterprise Server from the EFI Shell

1. From the system console, select EFI Shell from the EFI Boot Manager menu to access the EFI
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 select 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:
Powers off the server after shutdown.
-h
Use the PC command at the iLO 2 MP command menu to manually power on or power
off server hardware, as needed.
Reboots after shutdown.
-r
Cancels a shutdown in progress.
-c
Determines when to shut down. (Required.) You can specify time in any of the following
time
ways:
Absolute time in the format hh:mm, in which hh is the hour (one or two digits) and mm
is the minute (two digits).
Number of minutes to wait in the format +m, in which m is the number of minutes.
now to immediately shut down; this is equivalent to using +0 to wait zero minutes.
