Shutting Down HP-UX When HP-UX is running on an nPartition, you can shut down HP-UX using the shutdown commnad. On nPartitions you have the following command options when shutting down HP-UX: • To shut down HP-UX and reboot an nPartition: shutdown -r • To shut down HP-UX and halt an nPartition: shutdown -h • To perform a reboot for reconfiguration of an nPartition: shutdown -R • To hold an nPartition at a shutdown for reconfiguration state: shutdown -R -H Procedure for Shutting Down HP-UX From the HP-UX command line, issue the shutdown command to shutdown the HP-UX OS. 1. Log in to HP-UX running on the nPartition that you want to shut down. Log in to the management processor for the server and use the console menu to access the system console. Accessing the console through the MP enables you to maintain console access to the system after HP-UX has shut down. 2. Issue the shutdown command with the appropriate command-line options. The command-line options you specify direct the HP-UX OS shutdown, whether the nPartition is rebooted, and whether any nPartition configuration changes take place (for example, adding or removing cells). Use the following list to select an HP-UX shutdown option for your nPartition: • Shut down HP-UX and halt the nPartition. Issue the shutdown -h command to shut down and halt the nPartition. • Shut down HP-UX and reboot the nPartition. Issue the shutdown -r command to shut down and reboot the nPartition. • Perform a reboot for reconfiguration of the nPartition. Issue the shutdown -R command to perform a reboot for reconfiguration. This shuts down HP-UX, reconfigures the nPartition if needed and reboots the nPartition. • Reboot the nPartition and put it into the shutdown for reconfiguration state. Issue the shutdown -R -H command to hold the nPartition in the shutdown for reconfiguration state. This leaves the nPartition and all of its cells in an inactive state (the nPartition can be reconfigured remotely), unless the normal behavior has been modified. To reboot the nPartition, you must perform manually by using the bo command at the management processor Command Menu. If HP-UX is halted on the nPartition, and not allowing you to use the shutdown command, you can reboot or reset the nPartition by issuing commands from the management processor Command Menu. System Verification The minimum firmware version supported at release of the HP 9000 rp8440 server is rp8440 and rp7440 Firmware Version 1.0. After the system firmware is updated, use the management processor (MP) cm menu to verify status using the sysrev command. MP:CM> sysrev System Verification 183

Shutting Down HP-UX
When HP-UX is running on an nPartition, you can shut down HP-UX using the
shutdown
commnad.
On nPartitions you have the following command options when shutting down HP-UX:
•
To shut down HP-UX and reboot an nPartition:
shutdown -r
•
To shut down HP-UX and halt an nPartition:
shutdown -h
•
To perform a reboot for reconfiguration of an nPartition:
shutdown -R
•
To hold an nPartition at a shutdown for reconfiguration state:
shutdown -R -H
Procedure for Shutting Down HP-UX
From the HP-UX command line, issue the
shutdown
command to shutdown the HP-UX OS.
1.
Log in to HP-UX running on the nPartition that you want to shut down.
Log in to the management processor for the server and use the console menu to access the
system console. Accessing the console through the MP enables you to maintain console
access to the system after HP-UX has shut down.
2.
Issue the
shutdown
command with the appropriate command-line options.
The command-line options you specify direct the HP-UX OS shutdown, whether the
nPartition is rebooted, and whether any nPartition configuration changes take place (for
example, adding or removing cells).
Use the following list to select an HP-UX shutdown option for your nPartition:
•
Shut down HP-UX and halt the nPartition.
Issue the
shutdown -h
command to shut down and halt the nPartition.
•
Shut down HP-UX and reboot the nPartition.
Issue the
shutdown -r
command to shut down and reboot the nPartition.
•
Perform a reboot for reconfiguration of the nPartition.
Issue the
shutdown -R
command to perform a reboot for reconfiguration.
This shuts down HP-UX, reconfigures the nPartition if needed and reboots the nPartition.
•
Reboot the nPartition and put it into the shutdown for reconfiguration state.
Issue the
shutdown -R -H
command to hold the nPartition in the shutdown for
reconfiguration state.
This leaves the nPartition and all of its cells in an inactive state (the nPartition can be
reconfigured remotely), unless the normal behavior has been modified.
To reboot the nPartition, you must perform manually by using the
bo
command at the
management processor Command Menu.
If HP-UX is halted on the nPartition, and not allowing you to use the
shutdown
command,
you can reboot or reset the nPartition by issuing commands from the management processor
Command Menu.
System Verification
The minimum firmware version supported at release of the HP 9000 rp8440 server is
rp8440 and
rp7440 Firmware Version 1.0
.
After the system firmware is updated, use the management processor (MP)
cm
menu to verify
status using the
sysrev
command.
