4 Booting the Operating System This chapter describes procedures for booting and shutting down the HP-UX operating system on the HP 9000 rp3410 and rp3440 servers. Supported Operating System Booting the server loads the operating system, which is essential for running all other programs. You can only run one operating system on the server at one time. The HP-UX 11i version 1 (and higher HP-UX versions that support PA-RISC systems) is supported on the server. NOTE: HP-UX is the only supported operating system for single-core processors. You can find information about the HP-UX operating system on the HP website at the following links: Server Hardware Information http://docs.hp.com/hpux/hw/ Diagnostics and Event Monitoring: Hardware Support Tools Complete information about HP hardware support tools, including online and offline diagnostics and event monitoring tools, is at http://docs.hp.com/hpux/diag/. This website has manuals, tutorials, FAQs, and other reference material.
