To exit the ISL prompt and return to the BCH interface, issue the EXIT command instead of specifying one of the hpux loader commands. Refer to the hpux(1M) manpage for a detailed list of hpux loader options. Example 5-1 Single-User HP-UX Boot ISL Revision A.00.42 JUN 19, 1999 ISL> hpux -is /stand/vmunix Boot : disk(0/0/2/0/0.13.0.0.0.0.0;0)/stand/vmunix 8241152 + 1736704 + 1402336 start 0x21a0e8 .... INIT: Overriding default level with level 's' INIT: SINGLE USER MODE INIT: Running /sbin/sh # 4. Exit the console and management processor interfaces if you are finished using them. To exit the BCH environment, press ^B (Control-B); this exits the nPartition console and returns to the management processor Main Menu. To exit the management processor, type X at the Main Menu. Procedure 5-11 Single-User Mode HP-UX Booting (EFI Shell) From the EFI Shell environment, boot in single-user mode by stopping the boot process at the HPUX.EFI interface (the HP-UX Boot Loader prompt, HPUX>) entering the boot -is vmunix command. The EFI Shell is available only on HP Integrity servers. Refer to "ACPI Configuration for HP-UX Must Be default" (page 110) for required configuration details. 1. Access the EFI Shell environment for the nPartition on which you want to boot HP-UX in single-user mode. Log in to the management processor (MP) and enter CO to access the Console list. Choose the nPartition console. When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the EFI Boot Manager menu (the main EFI menu). If you are at another EFI menu, choose the Exit option from the submenus until you return to the screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading. From the EFI Boot Manager menu, choose the EFI Shell menu option to access the EFI Shell environment. 2. Access the EFI System Partition (fsX: where X is the file system number) for the device from which you want to boot HP-UX. 3. When accessing the EFI System Partition for the desired boot device, issue the HPUX command to initiate the \EFI\HPUX\HPUX.EFI loader on the device you are accessing. 4. Boot to the HP-UX Boot Loader prompt (HPUX>) by pressing any key within the 10 seconds given for interrupting the HP-UX boot process. You will use the HPUX.EFI loader to boot HP-UX in single-user mode in the next step. After you press any key, the HPUX.EFI interface (the HP-UX Boot Loader prompt, HPUX>) is provided. For help using the HPUX.EFI loader, enter the help command. To return to the EFI Shell, enter exit. Booting and Shutting Down HP-UX 115
