HP Integrity Server rx4640 manual Single-User Mode HP-UX Booting

Booting the Operating System

Booting and Shutting Down HP-UX

The file system number might change each time it is mapped (for example, when the system boots, or when the map -rcommand is issued).

Step 4. When accessing the EFI System Partition for the desired boot device, issue the HPUX command to initiate the HPUX.EFI loader on the device you are accessing.

The full path for the loader is \EFI\HPUX\HPUX.EFI. When initiated, the loader references the \EFI\HPUX\AUTO file and proceeds to boot HP-UX using the default boot behavior specified in the AUTO file.

You have 10 seconds to interrupt the automatic booting of the default boot behavior. Pressing any key during this 10-second period stops the HP-UX boot process and enables you to interact with the HPUX.EFI loader. To exit the loader (the HPUX> prompt) enter exit (this returns you to the EFI Shell).

To boot the HP-UX operating system, do not enter anything during the 10-second period given for stopping at the HPUX.EFI loader.

Single-User Mode HP-UX Booting

Use the following procedure to boot HP-UX in single-user mode.

Booting HP-UX in Single-User Mode (EFI Shell)

From the EFI Shell environment, boot in single-user mode by stopping the boot process at the HPUX.EFI interface (the HP-UX Boot Loader prompt, HPUX>) and entering the boot -is vmunix command.

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

Log in to the iLO MP and enter CO to choose the system console.
