• To shut down HP-UX and reboot an nPartition: shutdown -r On cell-based HP Integrity servers, the shutdown -r command is equivalent to the shutdown -R command. • To shut down HP-UX and halt an nPartition: shutdown -h On cell-based HP Integrity servers, the shutdown -h command is equivalent to the shutdown -R -H command. • To perform a reboot for reconfig of an nPartition: shutdown -R • To hold an nPartition at a shutdown for reconfig state: shutdown -R -H NOTE: On Superdome SX1000 PA and SX2000 PA, shutdown -R -H does not stop at BIB if the MP has been hot swapped since the last reboot. For details refer to the shutdown(1M) manpage. NOTE: On HP rx7620, rx7640, rx8620, and rx8640 servers, you can configure the nPartition behavior when an OS is shutdown and halted (shutdown -h or shutdown -R -H). The two options are to have hardware power off when the OS is halted, or to have the nPartition be made inactive (all cells are in a boot-is-blocked state). The normal behavior for HP-UX shutdown and halt is for the nPartition to be made inactive. For details refer to "ACPI Softpowerdown Configuration-OS Shutdown Behavior" (page 93). Procedure 5-14 Shutting Down HP-UX From the HP-UX command line, issue the shutdown command to shut down the HP-UX OS. 1. Log in to HP-UX running on the nPartition that you want to shut down. You should log in to the MP for the server and use the Console menu to access the system console. Accessing the console through the MP enables you to maintain console access to the system after HP-UX has shut down. 118 Booting and Resetting nPartitions
