Booting the HP 9000 rp7420 Server
Powering on the server can be accomplished by either pressing the power switch on the front panel or by
using the PE command to power up the cabinet or complex at the MP command menu (
MP:CM>
).
If only a serial console is available to the system, monitor the system as it boots.
If a LAN connection to the MP/SCSI Core I/O is available, review server activity for each partition configured,
while the server powers up and boots. Windows can be opened for the complex and for each partition. HP
recommends that at least two windows be opened:
1. A window showing all activity in the complex. Following the installation procedure in this manual causes
a window to be opened at startup.
To display activity for the complex:
•
Either open a separate Reflection window and connect to the MP or connect through a Web Browser.
•
From the MP Main Menu, select the
VFP
command with the
s
option.
2. A window showing activity for a single partition.
To display activity for each partition as it powers up:
•
Either open a separate Reflection window and connect to the MP or connect through a Web Browser.
•
Select the
VFP
command and select the desired partition to view.
There should be no activity on the screen at this point in the installation process.
NOTE
More than one window cannot be opened using a serial display device.

1. Switch the power switch at the front of the server to

. The following events occur:
•
