Setting Up, Initializing, and Booting Logical Partitions 4-9
Following the system reset, you are still issuing commands at the primary
console. Perform the following actions:
➊
Issue the lpinit command to start the secondary partitions. The primary
console displays information on the partitions defined. The CPUs assigned
to each partition are listed, the memory ranges assigned are listed, a check
is made for interleaving, and the results displayed. Then the firmware
starts the CPUs in each partition, and displays that information as the
partitions “come alive”. Initializations displays will begin to appear on the
secondary consoles as well, as the separate initializations take place.
➋
As the partitions are initialized, the primary console displays information
about the partitions. As shown here, the primary, or boot processor, of each
partition is generally the lowest-numbered CPU in the partition.
➌
The base address and size of memory for each partition are listed.
➍
No shared memory indicates that the lp_mem_mode environment variable
has been set to isolate.
➎
This section of the display shows the CPUs being started in the secondary
partitions.
➏
You can now install (if the operating system has not yet been installed) or
boot the operating system. See the Tru64 UNIX Installation Guide for more
detail on booting and installing the operating system.
