On HP Integrity mid-range servers, nPartition power on and power off is also supported to manage power of cells and I/O chassis assigned to the nPartition using a single command. Using the EFI Shell EFI Shell provides the following commands to support boot and reset operations: bcfg Lists and configures boot options list for the local nPartition. autoboot Lists, enables, or disables the nPartition autoboot configuration value. acpiconfig Lists and configures the nPartition ACPI configuration setting, which determines whether HP-UX, Windows, or Linux can boot on the nPartition.

Using the MP Command Menu
The MP provides the following commands, available from the Command menu, to support boot
and reset operations:
RS
Reset an nPartition. Reset an nPartition after self-tests and partition rendezvous are complete.
RR
Perform a shutdown for reconfig of an nPartition. Reset an nPartition after self-tests and
partition rendezvous are complete.
BO
Boot the cells assigned to an nPartition past the waiting at BIB state and begin the nPartition
boot phase.
TC
Perform a transfer of control reset of an nPartition.
PE
Power on or power off a cabinet, cell, or I/O chassis. On HP Integrity mid-range servers,
nPartition power on and power off is also supported to manage power of cells and I/O
chassis assigned to the nPartition using a single command.
Using the EFI Shell
EFI Shell provides the following commands to support boot and reset operations:
bcfg
Lists and configures boot options list for the local
nPartition.
autoboot
Lists, enables, or disables the nPartition autoboot
configuration value.
acpiconfig
Lists and configures the nPartition ACPI configuration
setting, which determines whether HP-UX, Windows, or
Linux can boot on the nPartition.
To boot Windows Server 2008 R2, you must set the ACPI
configuration setting for the nPartition to
windows
.
acpiconfig enable
softpowerdown
When set, causes nPartition hardware to be powered off
when the OS issues a shutdown for reconfig command.
On mid-range servers with a
windows
ACPI configuration
setting, this is the default behavior. This command is
available only on mid-range servers.
acpiconfig disable
softpowerdown
When set, causes nPartition cells to remain at BIB when
the OS issues a shutdown for reconfig command. In this
case an OS shutdown for reconfig makes the nPartition
inactive. This command is available only on mid-range
servers.
reset
Resets the local nPartition, resetting cells and proceeding
with the nPartition boot phase.
reconfigreset
Performs a shutdown for reconfig of the local nPartition,
resetting cells and holding them at the wait at BIB state,
making the nPartition inactive.
Using Microsoft Windows Commands
Microsoft Windows includes the following commands for shutting down and rebooting an
nPartition:
shutdown /r
Shuts down Windows and performs a reboot for reconfig of the nPartition.
Cells are reset and nPartition reconfiguration occurs as needed. The nPartition
then proceeds with the nPartition boot phase.
shutdown /s
Shuts down Windows and performs a shutdown for reconfig of the nPartition.
The default behavior differs on HP Integrity Superdome servers and HP
Integrity mid-range servers.
On HP Integrity Superdome servers,
shutdown /s
causes cells to be reset
and nPartition reconfiguration to occur as needed. Cells then remain at a wait
at BIB state, and the nPartition is inactive.
