Booting HP-UX in LVM-Maintenance Mode (EFI Shell)
From the EFI Shell environment, boot in LVM-maintenance mode by stopping the boot process at
the HPUX.EFI interface (the HP-UX Boot Loader prompt, HPUX>) and entering the boot -lm
vmunix command.
1. Access the EFI Shell environment for the server on which you want to boot HP-UX in
LVM-maintenance mode.
Log in to the iLO 2 MP and enter CO to choose the system console.
Confirm that you are at the EFI Boot Manager menu (the main EFI menu) when accessing the
console. If you are at another EFI menu, choose Exit from the submenus until you return to the
screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading.
From the EFI Boot Manager menu, choose EFI Shell to access the EFI Shell environment.
2. Access the EFI System Partition (fsX: where X is the file system number) for the device from
which you want to boot HP-UX.
3. When accessing the EFI System Partition for the desired boot device, issue the HPUX command
to initiate the \EFI\HPUX\HPUX.EFI loader on the device you are accessing.
4. Press any key within the 10 seconds given for interrupting the HP-UX boot process. This stops
the boot process at the HPUX.EFI interface (the HP-UX Boot Loader prompt, HPUX>).
5. At the HPUX.EFI interface, enter the boot -lm vmunix command to boot HP-UX (the
/stand/vmunix kernel) in LVM-maintenance (-lm) mode.
6. Exit the console and iLO 2 MP interfaces when finished using them.
Press Ctrl-B to exit the system console and return to the MP Main Menu. To exit the MP, enter
X at the MP Main Menu.
Shutting Down HP-UX
To shut down HP-UX running on a server, use the shutdown command. You have the following
options when shutting down HP-UX:
• Shut down and reboot an HP-UX server using shutdown -r
• Shut down and halt (power off) an HP-UX server using shutdown -h
For details, see the shutdown (1M )manpage and the following procedure:
Shutting Down HP-UX (/sbin/shutdown Command)
From the HP-UX command line, issue the shutdown command to shut down the HP-UX operating
system.
1. Log in to HP-UX running on the server that you want to shut down.
Log in to iLO 2 MP for the server and use the Console menu to access the system console.
Accessing the console through iLO 2 MP enables you to maintain console access to the server
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 shuts down, and whether
the server is rebooted.
Use the following list to choose an HP-UX shutdown option for your server:
• Shut down HP-UX and halt (power off) the server using shutdown -h
Reboot a halted server by powering on the server using the PC command at the iLO 2
MP Command menu.
• Shut down HP-UX and reboot the server by issuing shutdown -r
