4 Booting and Shutting Down the Operating System This chapter presents procedures for booting an operating system (OS) on an nPartition (hardware partition) and procedures for shutting down the OS. Operating Systems Supported on Cell-based HP Servers HP supports nPartitions on cell-based HP 9000 servers and cell-based HP Integrity servers. The following list describes the OSes supported on cell-based servers based on the HP sx2000 chipset. • HP 9000 servers have PA-RISC processors and include the following cell-based models based on based on the HP sx2000 chipset: - HP 9000 Superdome (SD16B, SD32B, and SD64B models) - HP rp8440 - HP rp7440 These HP 9000 servers run HP-UX 11i Version 1 (B.11.11). Refer to "Booting and Shutting Down HP-UX" (page 94) for details on booting an OS on these servers. • HP Integrity servers have Intel® Itanium® processors and include the following cell-based models based on the HP sx2000 chipset: - HP Integrity Superdome (SD16B, SD32B, and SD64B models) - HP rx8640 - HP rx7640 All HP Integrity servers based on the HP sx2000 chipset run the following OSes: - HP-UX 11i Version 2 (B.11.23) - Refer to "Booting and Shutting Down HP-UX" (page 94) for details. - Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003 - Refer to "Booting and Shutting Down Microsoft Windows" (page 109) for details. HP Integrity servers based on the HP sx2000 chipset run the following OSes only in nPartitions that have dual-core Intel® Itanium® processors: - HP OpenVMS I64 8.3 - Supported only in nPartitions that have dual-core Intel® Itanium® processors. Prior releases of OpenVMS I64 are not supported on servers based on the HP sx2000 chipset. Refer to "Booting and Shutting Down HP OpenVMS I64" (page 105) for details. - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 4- On servers based on the HP sx2000 chipset, is supported only in nPartitions that have dual-core Intel® Itanium® processors. Prior releases of Red Hat Enterprise Linux are not supported on servers based on the HP sx2000 chipset. NOTE: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 will be supported soon after the release of cell-based HP Integrity servers with the Intel® Itanium® dual-core processor. It is not supported on these servers when they first release. Refer to "Booting and Shutting Down Linux" (page 114) for details. - SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 - On servers based on the HP sx2000 chipset, is supported only in nPartitions that have dual-core Intel® Itanium® processors.
