• HP-UX includes the following commands for shutting down and rebooting the nPartition. - shutdown -r - Shuts down HP-UX and resets the local nPartition, resetting cells and then proceeding with the nPartition boot phase. On HP 9000 servers shutdown -r resets only the active cells. On HP Integrity servers shutdown -r has the same effect as shutdown -R. All cells are reset and nPartition reconfiguration occurs as needed. - shutdown -h - On HP 9000 servers, shuts down HP-UX, halts all processing on the nPartition, and does not reset cells. On HP Integrity servers, shutdown -h has the same effect as shutdown -R -H and results in a shutdown for reconfig. - shutdown -R - Shuts down HP-UX and performs a reboot for reconfig of the nPartition. All cells are reset and nPartition reconfiguration occurs as needed. The nPartition then proceeds with the nPartition boot phase. - shutdown -R -H - Shuts down HP-UX and performs a shutdown for reconfig of the nPartition. All cells are reset and nPartition reconfiguration occurs as needed. All cells then remain at a "wait at BIB" state and the nPartition is inactive. 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. On HP rx7620, rx7640, rx8620, and rx8640 servers with a default (to support HP-UX) ACPI configuration setting a "wait at BIB" state is the default behavior, but the acpiconfig enable softpowerdown EFI Shell command can be used to instead cause all nPartition hardware to power off. • HP OpenVMS I64 includes the following commands for shutting down and rebooting the nPartition. - @SYS$SYSTEM:SHUTDOWN.COM - Shuts down the OpenVMS I64 operating system. The @SYS$SYSTEM:SHUTDOWN.COM command provides a series of prompts that you use to establish the shutdown behavior, including the shutdown time and whether the system is rebooted after it is shut down. ◦ To perform a reboot for reconfig from OpenVMS I64 running on an nPartition, issue @SYS$SYSTEM:SHUTDOWN.COM from OpenVMS, and then enter Yes at the "Should an automatic system reboot be performed" prompt ◦ To perform a shutdown for reconfig of an nPartition running OpenVMS I64: first issue @SYS$SYSTEM:SHUTDOWN.COM from OpenVMS and enter No at the "Should an automatic system reboot be performed" prompt, then access the MP and, from the MP Command Menu, issue the RR command and specify the nPartition that is to be shutdown for reconfig. - RUN SYS$SYSTEM:OPCRASH - Causes OpenVMS to dump system memory and then halt at the P00>> prompt. To reset the nPartition following OPCRASH, access the nPartition console and press any key to reboot. Overview of Managing nPartitions 35
