Operating System Boot and Shutdown Shutting Down HP-UX On HP 9000 servers only, issue the shutdown -h command to shut down and halt the nPartition. This leaves the nPartition and all its cells in an active state after HP-UX shuts down and halts. To reboot a halted nPartition you must reset the nPartition using the RS command at the GSP command menu. On nPartition-capable HP Integrity servers, the shutdown -h command puts an nPartition into the shutdown for reconfig state; for details see the discussion of shutdown -R -H in this list. • Shut down HP-UX and reboot the nPartition. Issue the shutdown -r command to shut down and reboot the nPartition. On nPartition-capable HP Integrity servers, the shutdown -r command is equivalent to the shutdown -R command. • Perform a reboot for reconfig of the nPartition. Issue the HP-UX shutdown -R command to perform a reboot for reconfig. This shuts down HP-UX, reconfigures the nPartition if needed, and reboots the nPartition. • Reboot the nPartition and put it in to the shutdown for reconfig state. Use the HP-UX shutdown -R -H command to hold the nPartition in the shutdown for reconfig state. This leaves the nPartition and all its cells in an inactive state (the nPartition can be reconfigured remotely), unless the normal behavior has been modified. For details on changing OS halt behavior on rx8620 and rx7620 servers see "ACPI "Softpowerdown" Configuration-rx7620 and rx8620 OS Shutdown Behavior" on page 174. To reboot the nPartition you must do so manually by using the BO command at the service processor Command menu. If HP-UX is halted on the nPartition, thus not allowing you to use the shutdown command, you can reboot or reset the nPartition by issuing commands from the service processor Command menu. 194 Appendix A
