4 Booting and Shutting Down the Operating System This chapter presents procedures for booting an operating system (OS) on an nPartition (hardware partition) and procedures for shutting down the OS. Operating Systems Supported on Cell-based HP Servers HP supports nPartitions on cell-based HP 9000 servers and cell-based HP Integrity servers. The following list describes the OSes supported on cell-based servers based on the HP sx2000 chipset. • HP 9000 servers have PA-RISC processors and include the following cell-based models based on the HP sx2000 chipset: - HP 9000 Superdome (SD16B, SD32B, and SD64B models) - HP rp8440 - HP rp7440 These HP 9000 servers run HP-UX 11i Version 1 (B.11.11). See "Booting and Shutting Down HP-UX" (page 102) for details on booting an OS on these servers. • HP Integrity servers have dual-core Intel Itanium processors and include the following cell-based models based on the HP sx2000 chipset: - HP Integrity Superdome (SD16B, SD32B, and SD64B models) - HP rx8640 - HP rx7640 All HP Integrity servers based on the HP sx2000 chipset run the following OSes: - HP-UX 11i Version 2 (B.11.23) - See "Booting and Shutting Down HP-UX" (page 102) for details. - Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003 - See "Booting and Shutting Down Microsoft Windows" (page 117) for details. HP Integrity servers based on the HP sx2000 chipset run the following OSes only in nPartitions that have dual-core Intel Itanium processors: - HP OpenVMS I64 8.3 - Supported only in nPartitions that have dual-core Intel Itanium processors. Prior releases of OpenVMS I64 are not supported on servers based on the HP sx2000 chipset. See "Booting and Shutting Down HP OpenVMS I64" (page 113) for details. - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 4- On servers based on the HP sx2000 chipset, is supported only in nPartitions that have dual-core Intel Itanium processors. Prior releases of Red Hat Enterprise Linux are not supported on servers based on the HP sx2000 chipset. NOTE: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 will be supported soon after the release of cell-based HP Integrity servers with the dual-core Intel Itanium processor. It is not supported on these servers when they first release. See "Booting and Shutting Down Linux" (page 122) for details. - SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 - On servers based on the HP sx2000 chipset, is supported only in nPartitions that have dual-core Intel Itanium processors. Prior releases of SuSE Linux Enterprise Server are not supported on servers based on the HP sx2000 chipset. Operating Systems Supported on Cell-based HP Servers 97

4 Booting and Shutting Down the Operating System
This chapter presents procedures for booting an operating system (OS) on an nPartition (hardware
partition) and procedures for shutting down the OS.
Operating Systems Supported on Cell-based HP Servers
HP supports nPartitions on cell-based HP 9000 servers and cell-based HP Integrity servers. The
following list describes the OSes supported on cell-based servers based on the HP sx2000 chipset.
•
HP 9000 servers have PA-RISC processors and include the following cell-based models
based on the HP sx2000 chipset:
— HP 9000 Superdome (SD16B, SD32B, and SD64B models)
— HP rp8440
— HP rp7440
These HP 9000 servers run HP-UX 11i Version 1 (B.11.11). See
“Booting and Shutting Down
HP-UX” (page 102)
for details on booting an OS on these servers.
•
HP Integrity servers have dual-core Intel Itanium processors and include the following
cell-based models based on the HP sx2000 chipset:
— HP Integrity Superdome (SD16B, SD32B, and SD64B models)
— HP rx8640
— HP rx7640
All HP Integrity servers based on the HP sx2000 chipset run the following OSes:
— HP-UX 11i Version 2 (B.11.23) – See
“Booting and Shutting Down HP-UX” (page 102)
for
details.
— Microsoft
®
Windows
®
Server 2003 – See
“Booting and Shutting Down Microsoft
Windows” (page 117)
for details.
HP Integrity servers based on the HP sx2000 chipset run the following OSes
only in nPartitions
that have dual-core Intel Itanium processors
:
— HP OpenVMS I64 8.3 — Supported only in nPartitions that have dual-core Intel Itanium
processors. Prior releases of OpenVMS I64 are not supported on servers based on the HP
sx2000 chipset.
See
“Booting and Shutting Down HP OpenVMS I64” (page 113)
for details.
— Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 4— On servers based on the HP sx2000 chipset, is
supported only in nPartitions that have dual-core Intel Itanium processors. Prior releases
of Red Hat Enterprise Linux are not supported on servers based on the HP sx2000 chipset.
NOTE:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 will be supported soon after the release of cell-based
HP Integrity servers with the dual-core Intel Itanium processor. It is not supported on these
servers when they first release.
See
“Booting and Shutting Down Linux” (page 122)
for details.
— SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 — On servers based on the HP sx2000 chipset, is
supported only in nPartitions that have dual-core Intel Itanium processors. Prior releases
of SuSE Linux Enterprise Server are not supported on servers based on the HP sx2000 chipset.
