Using Other Tools for Managing nPartitions nPartition-level tasks To change the nPartition behavior when an OS is shutdown and halted use either the acpiconfig enable softpowerdown EFI Shell command or the acpiconfig disable softpowerdown command and then reset the nPartition to make the ACPI configuration change take effect. - acpiconfig enable softpowerdown When set, acpiconfig enable softpowerdown causes nPartition hardware to be powered off when the operating system issues a shutdown for reconfig command (for example, shutdown -h or shutdown /s). This is the normal behavior on mid-range servers with a windows ACPI configuration setting. When softpowerdown is enabled on a mid-range server, if one nPartition is defined in the server then halting the operating system powers off the server cabinet (including all cells and I/O chassis). On a mid-range server with multiple nPartitions, halting the operating system from an nPartition with softpowerdown enabled causes only the resources on the local nPartition to be powered off. To power on hardware that has been powered off, use the PE command at the management processor command menu. - acpiconfig disable softpowerdown When set, acpiconfig disable softpowerdown causes nPartition cells to remain at a boot-is-blocked state when the operating system issues a shutdown for reconfig command (for example, shutdown -h or shutdown /s). In this case an OS shutdown for reconfig makes the nPartition inactive. This is the normal behavior on mid-range servers with an ACPI configuration setting of default or single-pci-domain. To make an inactive nPartition active, use the management processor BO command to boot the nPartition past the boot-is-blocked state. Find bootable devices Find bootable devices using the following procedure: Find bootable devices [EFI shell] From the EFI Shell environment, issue the map command to list bootable devices. Step 1. Access the EFI Shell environment for the nPartition whose bootable devices you want to list. Login 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 EFI Boot Manager menu (the main EFI menu). If at another EFI menu, select the Exit option from the sub-menus until you return to the screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading. From the EFI Boot Manager menu, select the EFI Shell menu option to access the EFI Shell environment. Step 2. At the EFI Shell, issue the map command to list all disk devices with a potentially bootable EFI System Partition. Chapter 4 57

Using Other Tools for Managing nPartitions
nPartition-level tasks
Chapter 4
57
To change the nPartition behavior when an OS is shutdown and halted use either the
acpiconfig enable softpowerdown
EFI Shell command or the
acpiconfig
disable softpowerdown
command and then reset the nPartition to make the ACPI
configuration change take effect.
—
acpiconfig enable softpowerdown
When set,
acpiconfig enable softpowerdown
causes nPartition hardware to be
powered off when the operating system issues a shutdown for reconfig command
(for example,
shutdown -h
or
shutdown /s
).
This is the normal behavior on mid-range servers with a
windows
ACPI
configuration setting.
When softpowerdown is enabled on a mid-range server, if one nPartition is defined
in the server then halting the operating system powers off the server cabinet
(including all cells and I/O chassis). On a mid-range server with multiple
nPartitions, halting the operating system from an nPartition with softpowerdown
enabled causes only the resources on the local nPartition to be powered off.
To power on hardware that has been powered off, use the
PE
command at the
management processor command menu.
—
acpiconfig disable softpowerdown
When set,
acpiconfig disable softpowerdown
causes nPartition cells to
remain at a boot-is-blocked state when the operating system issues a shutdown
for reconfig command (for example,
shutdown -h
or
shutdown /s
). In this case an
OS shutdown for reconfig makes the nPartition inactive.
This is the normal behavior on mid-range servers with an ACPI configuration
setting of
default
or
single-pci-domain
.
To make an inactive nPartition active, use the management processor
BO
command to boot the nPartition past the boot-is-blocked state.
Find bootable devices
Find bootable devices using the following procedure:
Find bootable devices [EFI shell]
From the EFI Shell environment, issue the
map
command to list bootable devices.
Step 1.
Access the EFI Shell environment for the nPartition whose bootable devices you want to
list.
Login 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 EFI Boot Manager menu (the
main EFI menu). If at another EFI menu, select the
Exit
option from the sub-menus until
you return to the screen with the
EFI Boot Manager
heading.
From the EFI Boot Manager menu, select the
EFI Shell
menu option to access the EFI
Shell environment.
Step 2.
At the EFI Shell, issue the
map
command to list all disk devices with a potentially
bootable EFI System Partition.
