Procedure 4-6 Single-User Mode HP-UX Booting (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>) by entering the boot -is vmunix command. The EFI Shell is available only on HP Integrity servers.

Refer to “ACPI Configuration for HP-UX Must Be default” (page 120) for required configuration details.

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

Log in to the management processor, and enter CO to access the Console list. Select the nPartition console.

When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the EFI Boot Manager menu (the main EFI menu). If you are at another EFI menu, select the Exit option from the submenus until you return to the screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading.

From the EFI Boot Manager menu, select the EFI Shell menu option to access the EFI Shell environment.

2.Access the EFI System Partition for the device from which you want to boot HP-UX (fsX: where X is the file system number).

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

4.Boot to the HP-UX Boot Loader prompt (HPUX>) by pressing any key within the 10 seconds given for interrupting the HP-UX boot process. You will use the HPUX.EFI loader to boot HP-UX in single-user mode in the next step.

After you press any key, the HPUX.EFI interface (the HP-UX Boot Loader prompt, HPUX>) is provided. For help using the HPUX.EFI loader, enter the help command. To return to the EFI Shell, enter exit.
