Booting HP-UX in single-user mode
Procedure
1. Use steps 1–5 from Booting HP-UX from the UEFI Shell on page 48 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 on page 49), 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 shutdownvolume(1M) manpage.
To shut down HP-UX running on a server:
Procedure
1. Log in to HP-UX running on the server that you want to shut down, or log in 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. Use 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.
Choose an HP-UX shutdown option for your server:
• To shut down HP-UX and halt (power off) the server, use the shutdown -h command.
To reboot a halted server, power on the server by using the PC command at the iLO MP Command
menu.
•
To shut down HP-UX and reboot the server, use the shutdown -r command.
