Enabled means that Hyper-Threading will be active on the next reboot of the nPartition. Active means that each processor core in the nPartition has a second virtual core that enables simultaneously running multiple threads. • Autoboot Setting You can configure the autoboot setting for each nPartition either by using the autoboot command at the EFI Shell, or by using the Set Auto Boot TimeOut menu item at the EFI Boot Option Maintenance menu. To set autoboot from HP-UX, use the setboot command. • ACPI Configuration Value-HP Integrity Server OS Boot On cell-based HP Integrity servers you must set the proper ACPI configuration for the OS that will be booted on the nPartition. To check the ACPI configuration value, issue the acpiconfig command with no arguments at the EFI Shell. To set the ACPI configuration value, issue the acpiconfig value command at the EFI Shell, where value is either default or windows. Then reset the nPartition by issuing the reset EFI Shell command for the setting to take effect. The ACPI configuration settings for the supported OSes are in the following list. - HP-UX ACPI Configuration: default On cell-based HP Integrity servers, to boot or install the HP-UX OS, you must set the ACPI configuration value for the nPartition to default. For details, refer to "ACPI Configuration for HP-UX Must Be default" (page 96). - HP OpenVMS I64 ACPI Configuration: default On cell-based HP Integrity servers, to boot or install the HP OpenVMS I64 OS, you must set the ACPI configuration value for the nPartition to default. For details, refer to "ACPI Configuration for HP OpenVMS I64 Must Be default" (page 107). - Windows ACPI Configuration: windows On cell-based HP Integrity servers, to boot or install the Windows OS, you must set the ACPI configuration value for the nPartition to windows. For details, refer to "ACPI Configuration for Windows Must Be windows" (page 112). - Red Hat Enterprise Linux ACPI Configuration: default On cell-based HP Integrity servers, to boot or install the Red Hat Enterprise Linux OS, you must set the ACPI configuration value for the nPartition to default. For details, refer to "ACPI Configuration for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Must Be default" (page 116). - SuSE Linux Enterprise Server ACPI Configuration: default On cell-based HP Integrity servers, to boot or install the SuSE Linux Enterprise Server OS, you must set the ACPI configuration value for the nPartition to default. For details, refer to "ACPI Configuration for SuSE Linux Enterprise Server Must Be default" (page 118). • ACPI Softpowerdown Configuration-OS Shutdown Behavior On HP rx7620, rx7640, rx8620, and rx8640 servers, you can configure the nPartition behavior when an OS is shut down and halted. 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 OS shutdown behavior on these servers depends on the ACPI configuration for the nPartition. You can run the acpiconfig command with no arguments to check the current ACPI configuration setting; however, softpowerdown information is displayed only when different from normal behavior. 92 Booting and Shutting Down the Operating System

ACPI Configuration Value—HP Integrity Server OS Boot
On cell-based HP Integrity servers
you must set the proper ACPI configuration for the OS that will be booted on the nPartition.
To check the ACPI configuration value, issue the
acpiconfig
command with no arguments
at the EFI Shell.
To set the ACPI configuration value, issue the
acpiconfig
value
command at the EFI Shell,
where
value
is either
default
or
windows
. Then reset the nPartition by issuing the
reset
EFI Shell command for the setting to take effect.
The ACPI configuration settings for the supported OSes are in the following list.
—
HP-UX ACPI Configuration: default
On cell-based HP Integrity servers, to boot or
install the HP-UX OS, you must set the ACPI configuration value for the nPartition to
default
.
For details, refer to
“ACPI Configuration for HP-UX Must Be default” (page 96)
.
—
HP OpenVMS I64 ACPI Configuration: default
On cell-based HP Integrity servers, to
boot or install the HP OpenVMS I64 OS, you must set the ACPI configuration value for
the nPartition to
default
.
For details, refer to
“ACPI Configuration for HP OpenVMS I64 Must Be default”
(page 107)
.
—
Windows ACPI Configuration: windows
On cell-based HP Integrity servers, to boot
or install the Windows OS, you must set the ACPI configuration value for the nPartition
to
windows
.
For details, refer to
“ACPI Configuration for Windows Must Be windows” (page 112)
.
—
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ACPI Configuration: default
On cell-based HP Integrity
servers, to boot or install the Red Hat Enterprise Linux OS, you must set the ACPI
configuration value for the nPartition to
default
.
For details, refer to
“ACPI Configuration for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Must Be default”
(page 116)
.
—
SuSE Linux Enterprise Server ACPI Configuration: default
On cell-based HP Integrity
servers, to boot or install the SuSE Linux Enterprise Server OS, you must set the ACPI
configuration value for the nPartition to
default
.
For details, refer to
“ACPI Configuration for SuSE Linux Enterprise Server Must Be
default” (page 118)

•
ACPI Softpowerdown Configuration—OS Shutdown Behavior
On HP rx7620, rx7640, rx8620,
and rx8640 servers, you can configure the nPartition behavior when an OS is shut down
and halted. 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 OS
shutdown behavior on these servers depends on the ACPI configuration for the nPartition.
You can run the
acpiconfig
command with no arguments to check the current ACPI
configuration setting; however, softpowerdown information is displayed only when different
from normal behavior.
