Booting and Shutting Down HP OpenVMS

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 system is rebooted.

•To shut down HP-UX and halt (power off) the system, issue the shutdown -hcommand.

To reboot a halted system power on the system using the PC command at the iLO 2 MP Command menu.

•To shut down HP-UX and reboot the system, issue the shutdown -rcommand.

This section describes the procedures for booting and shutting down HP OpenVMS on entry class HP Integrity servers, and procedures for adding HP OpenVMS to the boot options list.

•To add an HP OpenVMS entry to the boot options list, see “Adding HP OpenVMS to the Boot Options List” (page 129).

•To boot HP OpenVMS on an entry class HP Integrity server, see “Booting HP OpenVMS from the EFI Boot Manager” (page 130).

•To shut down HP OpenVMS, see “Shutting Down HP OpenVMS” (page 131).

Adding HP OpenVMS to the Boot Options List

On HP Integrity servers, you can use the following procedures to manage boot options list entries for HP OpenVMS.

You can add the \efi\vms\vms_loader.efi loader to the boot options list from the EFI Shell or the EFI Boot Configuration menu (or in some versions of EFI, the Boot Option Maintenance Menu).

NOTE: The operating system installer automatically adds an entry to the boot options list. To add an HP OpenVMS item to the boot options list from the EFI Shell, follow these steps:

1.Access the EFI Shell environment.

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

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

EFI Boot Manager heading.

c.From the EFI Boot Manager menu, select 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 OpenVMS.

For example, enter fs2: to access the EFI System Partition for the bootable file system number 2. The EFI Shell prompt changes to reflect the file system currently accessed.

The full path for the HP OpenVMS loader is \efi\vms\vms_loader.efi. It is on the device you are accessing.

3.At the EFI Shell environment, use the bcfg command to manage the boot options list.

The bcfg command includes the following options for managing the boot options list:

bcfg boot dump	Displays all items in the boot options list for the
	system.
bcfg boot rm #	Removes the item number specified by # from the boot
	options list
