2. Access the EFI System Partition for the SuSE Linux Enterprise Server boot device. Use the map EFI Shell command to list the file systems (fs0, fs1, and so on) that are known and have been mapped. To choose a file system to use, enter its mapped name followed by a colon (:). For example, to operate with the boot device that is mapped as fs3, enter fs3: at the EFI Shell prompt. 3. Enter ELILO at the EFI Shell command prompt to launch the ELILO.EFI loader. If needed, you can specify the loader's full path by entering \efi\SuSE\elilo at the EFI Shell command prompt. 4. Allow the ELILO.EFI loader to proceed with booting the SuSE Linux kernel. By default, the ELILO.EFI loader boots the kernel image and options specified by the default item in the elilo.conf file. To interact with the ELILO.EFI loader, interrupt the boot process (for example, type a space) at the ELILO boot prompt. To exit the loader, use the exit command. Shutting Down Linux Use the shutdown command to shut down Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SuSE Linux Enterprise Server. The Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SuSE Linux Enterprise Server shutdown command includes the following options: -h Halt after shutdown. On cell-based HP Integrity servers, this will either power down server hardware or put the nPartition into a shutdown for reconfig state. Use the PE command at the management processor Command menu to manually power on or power off server hardware, as needed. -r Reboot after shutdown. -c Cancel an already running shutdown. time When to shut down. (Required.) You can specify the time option in any of the following ways: • Absolute time in the format hh:mm, in which hh is the hour (one or two digits) and mm is the minute of the hour (two digits). • Number of minutes to wait in the format +m, in which m is the number of minutes. • now to immediately shut down; this is equivalent to using +0 to wait zero minutes. Refer to the shutdown(8) Linux manpage for details. Also refer to the Linux manpage for the poweroff command. NOTE: On HP rx7620, rx7640, rx8620, and rx8640 servers, you can configure the nPartition behavior when an OS is shut down and halted (shutdown -h or poweroff). The two options are to have hardware power off when the OS is halted, or to have the nPartition be made inactive (all cells are in a boot-is-blocked state). The normal behavior for Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SuSE Linux Enterprise Server shutdown and halt is for the nPartition to be made inactive. For details refer to "ACPI Softpowerdown Configuration-OS Shutdown Behavior" (page 93). Procedure 5-25 Shutting Down Linux From the command line for Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SuSE Linux Enterprise Server, issue the shutdown command to shut down the OS. 134 Booting and Resetting nPartitions
