6.Exit the console and iLO 2 MP interfaces when finished using them.

a.Press Control-Bto exit the system console and return to the MP Main Menu.

b.To exit the iLO 2 MP, type X at the MP Main Menu.

Booting HP-UX in LVM-Maintenance Mode

To boot HP-UX in LVM-maintenance mode, follow these steps:

1.Access the EFI Shell environment for the system on which you want to boot HP-UX in LVM-maintenance mode.

a.Log in to the iLO 2 MP and enter CO to select the system console.

b.Confirm that you are at the EFI Boot Manager menu. If you are at another EFI menu, select Exit from the submenus until you return to the screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading.

c.From the EFI Boot Manager menu, select the 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.Issue the HPUX command to initiate the \EFI\HPUX\HPUX.EFI loader on the device you are accessing.

4.Type 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 prompt, enter the boot -lm vmunix command to boot HP-UX in LVM-maintenance mode.

6.Exit the console and iLO 2 MP interfaces when finished using them.

Press Control-Bto exit the system console and return to the MP Main Menu. To exit the iLO 2 MP, type X at the MP Main Menu.

Shutting Down HP-UX

Use the shutdown command to shut down HP-UX running on a system, .

For more information see the shutdown(1M) manpage and the following procedure: To shut down the HP-UX operating system, follow these steps:

1.Log in to HP-UX running on the system that you want to shut down.

Log in to the iLO 2 MP for the server and use the Console menu to access the system console. Accessing the console through the iLO 2 MP enables you to maintain console access to the system after HP-UX has shut down.

INTEGRITY RX3600 specifications

The HP Integrity RX3600 is a high-performance server designed to address the demanding needs of enterprises that require robust computing capabilities, reliability, and scalability. Part of the HP Integrity server family, the RX3600 is built on the Itanium architecture, which is known for its exceptional processing power and advanced features that support mission-critical applications.

One of the main features of the RX3600 is its capability to handle multiple workloads with ease. The server supports up to 64 GB of RAM, allowing for efficient multitasking and enhanced performance in data-intensive environments. Its modular design also enables organizations to scale up their systems by adding additional memory or processors as needed, making it a flexible choice for growing businesses.

The RX3600 is equipped with HP's Integrity Virtual Machines (VMs), which provide virtualization capabilities that allow businesses to run multiple operating systems and applications on a single physical server. This not only maximizes resource utilization but also simplifies management by reducing the number of physical servers required in the data center.

Another significant characteristic of the RX3600 is its advanced reliability features. The server is designed with fault-tolerant components, including redundant power supplies and cooling systems. This ensures that the server remains operational even in the event of hardware failures. Additionally, HP's Error Correction Code (ECC) memory helps detect and correct data corruption, further enhancing the system's reliability.

For security, the HP Integrity RX3600 includes built-in features such as Secure Boot, which ensures that the server boots using only trusted firmware and software. This protects against unauthorized changes and vulnerabilities that could compromise data integrity.

In terms of connectivity, the RX3600 offers multiple I/O options, including advanced networking capabilities that support high-speed data transfer and improved bandwidth. This is critical for organizations that rely on data-intensive applications and need to maintain seamless connectivity.

Furthermore, the server supports a range of operating systems, including HP-UX and Linux, making it adaptable to various enterprise environments. Its robust performance, reliability, and scalability make the HP Integrity RX3600 an ideal choice for businesses looking to optimize their IT infrastructure and support their critical workloads with confidence.
