The BCH system boot environment is provided on HP 9000 servers.
•
“HP-UX Booting [EFI Boot Manager]” on page 179

HP-UX Booting [BCH Menu]
From the BCH Menu, use the
BOOT
command to boot the HP-UX operating system. The BCH Menu
is available only on HP 9000 servers.
Step 1.
Access the BCH Main Menu for the nPartition on which you want to boot HP-UX.
Login to the service processor (MP or GSP) and enter
CO
to access the Console list. Select the
nPartition console. When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the BCH Main Menu (the
Main Menu: Enter command or menu>
prompt). If at a BCH menu other than the Main Menu,
then enter
MA
to return to the BCH Main Menu.
Step 2.
Choose which device you wish to boot.
From the BCH Main menu, use the
PATH
command to list any boot path variable settings. The
primary (PRI) boot path normally is set to the main boot device for the nPartition. You also can use
the
SEARCH
command to find and list potentially bootable devices for the nPartition.
Main Menu: Enter command or menu >
PATH
Primary Boot Path:
0/0/2/0/0.13
0/0/2/0/0.d
(hex)
HA Alternate Boot Path:
0/0/2/0/0.14
