4. Exit the console and management processor interfaces if you are finished using them. To exit the EFI environment press ^B (Control+B); this exits the system console and returns to the management processor Main Menu. To exit the management processor, enter X at the Main Menu. Booting HP-UX This section describes the following methods of booting HP-UX: • "Standard HP-UX Booting" (page 96) - The standard ways to boot HP-UX. Typically, this results in booting HP-UX in multiuser mode. • "Single-User Mode HP-UX Booting" (page 100) - How to boot HP-UX in single-user mode. • "LVM-Maintenance Mode HP-UX Booting" (page 102) - How to boot HP-UX in LVM-maintenance mode. Refer to "Shutting Down HP-UX" (page 103) for details on shutting down the HP-UX OS. CAUTION: ACPI Configuration for HP-UX Must Be default On cell-based HP Integrity servers, to boot the HP-UX OS, an nPartition ACPI configuration value must be set to default. At the EFI Shell interface, enter the acpiconfig command with no arguments to list the current ACPI configuration. If the acpiconfig value is not set to default, then HP-UX cannot boot. In this situation you must reconfigure acpiconfig; otherwise, booting will be interrupted with a panic when the HP-UX kernel is launched. To set the ACPI configuration for HP-UX: 1. At the EFI Shell interface, enter the acpiconfig default command. 2. Enter the reset command for the nPartition to reboot with the proper (default) configuration for HP-UX. Standard HP-UX Booting This section describes how to boot HP-UX on cell-based HP 9000 servers and cell-based HP Integrity servers. • On HP 9000 servers, to boot HP-UX refer to "HP-UX Booting (BCH Menu)" (page 96). • On HP Integrity servers, to boot HP-UX use either of the following procedures: - "HP-UX Booting (EFI Boot Manager)" (page 98) - "HP-UX Booting (EFI Shell)" (page 98) Procedure 4-2 HP-UX Booting (BCH Menu) From the BCH Menu, use the BOOT command to boot the HP-UX OS. The BCH Menu is available only on HP 9000 servers. 1. Access the BCH Main Menu for the nPartition on which you want to boot HP-UX. Log in to the management processor, and enter CO to access the Console list. Select the nPartition console. When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the BCH Main Menu (the Main Menu: Enter command or menu> prompt). If you are at a BCH menu other than the Main Menu, then enter MA to return to the BCH Main Menu. 2. Choose which device to boot. From the BCH Main Menu, use the PATH command to list any boot path variable settings. The primary (PRI) boot path normally is set to the main boot device for the nPartition. You also can use the SEARCH command to find and list potentially bootable devices for the nPartition. Main Menu: Enter command or menu > PATH 96 Booting and Shutting Down the Operating System

Booting HP-UX
This section describes the following methods of booting HP-UX:
•
“Standard HP-UX Booting” (page 96)
— The standard ways to boot HP-UX. Typically, this
results in booting HP-UX in multiuser mode.
•
“Single-User Mode HP-UX Booting” (page 100)
— How to boot HP-UX in single-user mode.
•
“LVM-Maintenance Mode HP-UX Booting” (page 102)
— How to boot HP-UX in
LVM-maintenance mode.
Refer to
“Shutting Down HP-UX” (page 103)
for details on shutting down the HP-UX OS.
CAUTION:
ACPI Configuration for HP-UX Must Be default
On cell-based HP Integrity servers, to boot the
HP-UX OS, an nPartition ACPI configuration value must be set to
default
.
At the EFI Shell interface, enter the
acpiconfig
command with no arguments to list the current
ACPI configuration. If the
acpiconfig
value is not set to
default
, then HP-UX cannot boot.
In this situation you must reconfigure
acpiconfig
; otherwise, booting will be interrupted with
a panic when the HP-UX kernel is launched.
To set the ACPI configuration for HP-UX:
1.
At the EFI Shell interface, enter the
acpiconfig default
command.
2.
Enter the
reset
command for the nPartition to reboot with the proper (
default
)
configuration for HP-UX.
Standard HP-UX Booting
This section describes how to boot HP-UX on cell-based HP 9000 servers and cell-based HP
Integrity servers.
•
On HP 9000 servers, to boot HP-UX refer to
“HP-UX Booting (BCH Menu)” (page 96)
.
•
On HP Integrity servers, to boot HP-UX use either of the following procedures:
—
“HP-UX Booting (EFI Boot Manager)” (page 98)
—
“HP-UX Booting (EFI Shell)” (page 98)
Procedure 4-2 HP-UX Booting (BCH Menu)
From the BCH Menu, use the
BOOT
command to boot the HP-UX OS. The BCH Menu is available
only on HP 9000 servers.
1.
Access the BCH Main Menu for the nPartition on which you want to boot HP-UX.
Log in to the management processor, and enter
CO
to access the Console list. Select the
nPartition console. When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the BCH Main Menu
(the
Main Menu: Enter command or menu>
prompt). If you are at a BCH menu other
than the Main Menu, then enter
MA
to return to the BCH Main Menu.
2.
Choose which device to boot.
From the BCH Main Menu, use the
PATH
command to list any boot path variable settings.
The primary (PRI) boot path normally is set to the main boot device for the nPartition. You
also can use the
SEARCH
command to find and list potentially bootable devices for the
nPartition.
