Booting HP-UX in single-user mode
1. Use steps 1–5 from “Booting HP-UX from the UEFI Shell” (page 64) to access the UEFI shell
and launch the HPUX.UEFI loader.
2. Access the HP-UX Boot Loader prompt (HPUX>) by pressing any key within the 10 seconds
given for interrupting the HP-UX boot process. Use the HPUX.EFI loader to boot HP-UX in
single-user mode in step 3
After you press a key, the HPUX.EFI interface (the HP-UX Boot Loader prompt, HPUX>)
launches. For help using the HPUX.EFI loader, enter the help command. To return to the UEFI
Shell, enter exit.
3. At the HPUX.EFI interface (the HP-UX Boot loader prompt, HPUX>) enter the boot -is
vmunix command to boot HP-UX (the /stand/vmunix kernel) in single-user (-is) mode.
Booting HP-UX in LVM-maintenance mode
The procedure for booting HP-UX into LVM Maintenance Mode is the same as for booting into
single user mode (“Booting HP-UX in single-user mode” (page 65)), except use the -lm boot option
instead of the -is boot option:
HPUX> boot -lm vmunix
Shutting down HP-UX
For more information, see the shutdown( 1M) manpage.
To shut down HP-UX running on a server:
1. log on to HP-UX running on the server that you want to shut down or log on to iLO MP for the
server and use the Console menu to access the system console. Accessing the console through
iLO 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 determines 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 the shutdown -h command.
Reboot a halted server by powering on the server using the PC command at the iLO MP
Command menu.
• Shut down HP-UX and reboot the server by issuing the shutdown -r command.
