Operating System Boot and Shutdown System Boot Configuration Options System Boot Configuration Options This section briefly discusses the system boot options you can configure on nPartition-capable servers. You can configure boot options that are specific to each nPartition in the server complex. HP 9000 Boot Configuration Options On nPartition-capable HP 9000 servers the configurable system boot options include boot device paths (PRI, HAA, and ALT) and the autoboot setting for the nPartition. To set these options from HP-UX use the setboot command. From the BCH system boot environment, use the PATH command at the BCH Main menu to set boot device paths, and use the PATHFLAGS command at the BCH Configuration menu to set autoboot options. For details issue HELP command at the appropriate BCH menu, where command is the command for which you want help. HP Integrity Boot Configuration Options On nPartition-capable HP Integrity servers you must properly specify the ACPI configuration value, which affects the OS startup process and on some servers can affect the shutdown behavior. You also can configure boot device paths and the autoboot setting for the nPartition. Details are given in the following list. • Boot Options List-HP Integrity Server Boot Device Paths You can manage the boot options list for each nPartition either by using the bcfg command at the EFI Shell, or by using the Add a Boot Option, Delete Boot Option(s), and Change Boot Order menu items at the EFI Boot Option Maintenance menu. To set boot options from HP-UX use the setboot command. • Autoboot Setting You can configure the autoboot setting for each nPartition either by using the autoboot command at the EFI Shell, or by using the Set Auto Boot TimeOut menu item at the EFI Boot Option Maintenance menu. To set autoboot from HP-UX use the setboot command. • ACPI Configuration Value-HP Integrity Server OS Boot On nPartition-capable HP Integrity servers you must set the proper ACPI configuration for the OS that will be booted on the nPartition. To check the ACPI configuration value, issue the acpiconfig command with no arguments at the EFI Shell. To set the ACPI configuration value, issue the acpiconfig value command at the EFI Shell, where value is either default, windows, or single-pci-domain. Then reset the nPartition by issuing the reset EFI Shell command for the setting to take effect. The ACPI configuration settings for the supported operating systems are in the following list. - HP-UX ACPI Configuration: default On nPartition-capable HP Integrity servers, to boot or install the HP-UX operating system an nPartition must have its ACPI configuration value set to default. For details see "ACPI Configuration for HP-UX Must Be "default"" on page 176. Appendix A 173

System Boot Configuration Options

This section briefly discusses the system boot options you can configure on nPartition-capable servers. You

can configure boot options that are specific to each nPartition in the server complex.

HP 9000 Boot Configuration Options

On nPartition-capable HP 9000 servers the configurable system boot options include boot device paths (

PRI

HAA

, and

ALT

) and the autoboot setting for the nPartition. To set these options from HP-UX use the

setboot

command. From the BCH system boot environment, use the

PATH

command at the BCH Main menu to set

boot device paths, and use the

PATHFLAGS

command at the BCH Configuration menu to set autoboot options.

For details issue

HELP command

at the appropriate BCH menu, where

command

is the command for which you

want help.

HP Integrity Boot Configuration Options

On nPartition-capable HP Integrity servers you must properly specify the ACPI configuration value, which

affects the OS startup process and on some servers can affect the shutdown behavior. You also can configure

boot device paths and the autoboot setting for the nPartition. Details are given in the following list.

•

Boot Options List—HP Integrity Server Boot Device Paths

You can manage the boot options list for each nPartition either by using the

bcfg

command at the EFI

Shell, or by using the

Add a Boot Option

Delete Boot Option(s)

, and

Change Boot Order

menu items at the

EFI

Boot Option Maintenance menu

To set boot options from HP-UX use the

setboot

command.

•

Autoboot Setting

You can configure the autoboot setting for each nPartition either by using the

autoboot

command at the

EFI Shell, or by using the

Set Auto Boot TimeOut

menu item at the EFI

Boot Option Maintenance menu

To set autoboot from HP-UX use the

setboot

command.

•

ACPI Configuration Value—HP Integrity Server OS Boot

On nPartition-capable HP Integrity servers you must set the proper ACPI configuration for the OS that

will be booted on the nPartition.

To check the ACPI configuration value, issue the

acpiconfig

command with no arguments at the EFI

Shell.

To set the ACPI configuration value, issue the

acpiconfig value

command at the EFI Shell, where

value

is either

default

windows

, or

single-pci-domain

. Then reset the nPartition by issuing the

reset

EFI Shell command for the setting to take effect.

The ACPI configuration settings for the supported operating systems are in the following list.

—

HP-UX ACPI Configuration: default

On nPartition-capable HP Integrity servers, to boot or install the HP-UX operating system an

nPartition must have its ACPI configuration value set to

default

For details see “ACPI Configuration for HP-UX Must Be “default”” on page 176.
