Booting HP-UX in LVM-Maintenance Mode (EFI Shell)
From the EFI Shell environment, boot in LVM-maintenance mode by stopping the boot process at
the
HPUX.EFI
interface (the HP-UX Boot Loader prompt,
HPUX>
) and entering the
boot -lm
vmunix
command.
1.
Access the EFI Shell environment for the server on which you want to boot HP-UX in
LVM-maintenance mode.
Log in to the iLO 2 MP and enter
CO
to choose the system console.
Confirm that you are at the EFI Boot Manager menu (the main EFI menu) when accessing the
console. If you are at another EFI menu, choose
Exit
from the submenus until you return to the
screen with the
EFI Boot Manager
heading.
From the EFI Boot Manager menu, choose
EFI Shell
to access the EFI Shell environment.
2.
Access the EFI System Partition (
fsX:
where
X
is the file system number) for the device from
which you want to boot HP-UX.
3.
When accessing the EFI System Partition for the desired boot device, issue the
HPUX
command
to initiate the
\EFI\HPUX\HPUX.EFI
loader on the device you are accessing.
4.
Press any key within the 10 seconds given for interrupting the HP-UX boot process. This stops
the boot process at the
HPUX.EFI
interface (the HP-UX Boot Loader prompt,
HPUX>
).
5.
At the
HPUX.EFI
interface, enter the
boot -lm vmunix
command to boot HP-UX (the
/stand/vmunix
kernel) in LVM-maintenance (
-lm
) mode.
6.
Exit the console and iLO 2 MP interfaces when finished using them.
Press
Ctrl-B
to exit the system console and return to the MP Main Menu. To exit the MP, enter
X
at the MP Main Menu.
Shutting Down HP-UX
To shut down HP-UX running on a server, use the
shutdown
command. You have the following
options when shutting down HP-UX:
•
Shut down and reboot an HP-UX server using
shutdown -r
•
Shut down and halt (power off) an HP-UX server using
shutdown -h
For details, see the shutdown (1M )manpage and the following procedure:
Shutting Down HP-UX (
/sbin/shutdown
Command)
From the HP-UX command line, issue the
shutdown
command to shut down the HP-UX operating
system.
1.
Log in to HP-UX running on the server that you want to shut down.
Log in to iLO 2 MP for the server and use the Console menu to access the system console.
Accessing the console through iLO 2 MP enables you to maintain console access to the server
after HP-UX has shut down.
2.
Issue the
shutdown
command with the appropriate command-line options.
The command-line options you specify dictate the way in which HP-UX shuts down, and whether
the server is rebooted.
Use the following list to choose an HP-UX shutdown option for your server:
•
Shut down HP-UX and halt (power off) the server using
shutdown -h
Reboot a halted server by powering on the server using the
PC
command at the iLO 2
MP Command menu.
•
Shut down HP-UX and reboot the server by issuing
shutdown -r
