1. Login to HP-UX running on the nPartition that you want to shut down. You can login to HP-UX on the nPartition either by directly connecting (with the telnet or rlogin commands) or by logging in to the service processor (GSP or MP) for the complex where it resides and using the Console menu to access the nPartition console. Accessing the console through the service processor allows you to maintain console access to the nPartition after HP-UX has shut down. 2. Issue the shutdown command with the appropriate command-line options. The command-line options you specify dictate the way in which HP-UX is shut down, whether the nPartition is rebooted, and whether any nPartition configuration changes (adding or removing cells) take place. Use the following list to choose an HP-UX shut down option for your nPartition. • Shut down HP-UX and halt the nPartition. On HP 9000 servers only, issue the shutdown -h command to shut down and halt the nPartition. This leaves the nPartition and all its cells in an active state after HP-UX shuts down and halts. To reboot a halted nPartition you must reset the nPartition using the RS command at the GSP command menu. On nPartition-capable HP Integrity servers, the shutdown -h command puts an nPartition into the shutdown for reconfig state; for details see the discussion of shutdown -R -H in this list. • Shut down HP-UX and reboot the nPartition. Issue the shutdown -r command to shut down and reboot the nPartition. On nPartition-capable HP Integrity servers, the shutdown -r command is equivalent to the shutdown -R command. • Perform a reboot for reconfig of the nPartition. Issue the HP-UX shutdown -R command to perform a reboot for reconfig. This shuts down HP-UX, reconfigures the nPartition if needed, and reboots the nPartition. • Reboot the nPartition and put it in to the shutdown for reconfig state. Use the HP-UX shutdown -R -H command to hold the nPartition in the shutdown for reconfig state. This leaves the nPartition and all its cells in an inactive state (the nPartition can be reconfigured remotely), unless the normal behavior has been modified. For details on changing OS halt behavior on rx8620 and rx7620 servers see "ACPI "Softpowerdown" Configuration-rx7620 and rx8620 OS Shutdown Behavior" (page 194). To reboot the nPartition you must do so manually by using the BO command at the service processor Command menu. If HP-UX is halted on the nPartition, thus not allowing you to use the shutdown command, you can reboot or reset the nPartition by issuing commands from the service processor Command menu.

1.
Login to HP-UX running on the nPartition that you want to shut down.
You can login to HP-UX on the nPartition either by directly connecting (with the
telnet
or
rlogin
commands) or by logging in to the service processor (GSP or MP) for the complex
where it resides and using the Console menu to access the nPartition console.
Accessing the console through the service processor allows you to maintain console access
to the nPartition after HP-UX has shut down.
2.
Issue the
shutdown
command with the appropriate command-line options.
The command-line options you specify dictate the way in which HP-UX is shut down,
whether the nPartition is rebooted, and whether any nPartition configuration changes
(adding or removing cells) take place.
Use the following list to choose an HP-UX shut down option for your nPartition.
•
Shut down HP-UX and halt the nPartition.
On HP 9000 servers only, issue the
shutdown -h
command to shut down and halt the
nPartition. This leaves the nPartition and all its cells in an active state after HP-UX shuts
down and halts.
To reboot a halted nPartition you must reset the nPartition using the
RS
command at
the GSP command menu.
On nPartition-capable HP Integrity servers, the
shutdown -h
command puts an
nPartition into the shutdown for reconfig state; for details see the discussion of
shutdown -R -H
in this list.
•
Shut down HP-UX and reboot the nPartition.
Issue the
shutdown -r
command to shut down and reboot the nPartition.
On nPartition-capable HP Integrity servers, the
shutdown -r
command is equivalent
to the
shutdown -R
command.
•
Perform a reboot for reconfig of the nPartition.
Issue the HP-UX
shutdown -R
command to perform a reboot for reconfig.
This shuts down HP-UX, reconfigures the nPartition if needed, and reboots the
nPartition.
•
Reboot the nPartition and put it in to the shutdown for reconfig state.
Use the HP-UX
shutdown -R -H
command to hold the nPartition in the shutdown
for reconfig state.
This leaves the nPartition and all its cells in an inactive state (the nPartition can be
reconfigured remotely), unless the normal behavior has been modified. For details on
changing OS halt behavior on rx8620 and rx7620 servers see
“ACPI “Softpowerdown”
Configuration—rx7620 and rx8620 OS Shutdown Behavior” (page 194)
.
To reboot the nPartition you must do so manually by using the
BO
command at the
service processor Command menu.
If HP-UX is halted on the nPartition, thus not allowing you to use the
shutdown
command,
you can reboot or reset the nPartition by issuing commands from the service processor
Command menu.
