Introduction
Performing nPartition management tasks
Chapter 1

Using the Management Processor Command menu
The management processor provides the following commands, available from the
Command menu, to support boot and reset operations:
RS
Reset an nPartition. Reset an nPartition only after all self tests and
partition rendezvous have completed.
RR
Perform a shutdown for reconfig of an nPartition. Reset an nPartition
only after all self tests and partition rendezvous have completed.
BO
Boot the cells assigned to an nPartition past the “waiting at BIB” state
and thus 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 also is
supported, to manage power of all 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
List and configure the boot options list for the local nPartition.
autoboot
List, enable, or disable the nPartition autoboot configuration value.
acpiconfig
List and configure the nPartition ACPI configuration setting, which
determines whether HP-UX, Windows, or Linux can boot on the
nPartition.
To boot Windows Server 2003, the ACPI configuration setting for the
nPartition must be set to
windows
.
acpiconfig enable softpowerdown
When set, causes nPartition hardware to be powered off when the
operating system issues a shutdown for reconfig command. On
mid-range servers with a
windows
ACPI configuration setting, this is
the default behavior. Available only on mid-range servers.
acpiconfig disable softpowerdown
When set, causes nPartition cells to remain at BIB when the operating
system issues a shutdown for reconfig command. In this case an OS
shutdown for reconfig makes the nPartition inactive. Available only on
mid-range servers.
reset
Resets the local nPartition, resetting all cells and then proceeding with
the nPartition boot phase.
reconfigreset
Performs a shutdown for reconfig of the local nPartition, resetting all
cells and then 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:
