2.Issue the shutdown command with the appropriate command-line options.
The command-line options you specify dictate the way in which HP-UX is shut down, whether the nPartition is rebooted, and whether any nPartition configuration changes take place (for example, adding or removing cells).
Use the following list to choose an HP-UX shutdown option for your nPartition:
•Shut down HP-UX and halt the nPartition.
On cell-based HP Integrity servers, the shutdown -hcommand puts an nPartition into the shutdown for reconfiguration state; for details, refer to the discussion of shutdown -R-Hin this list.
•Shut down HP-UX and reboot the nPartition.
Issue the shutdown -rcommand to shut down and reboot the nPartition.
On cell-based HP Integrity servers, the shutdown -rcommand is equivalent to the shutdown -Rcommand.
•Perform a reboot for reconfiguration of the nPartition.
Issue the HP-UX shutdown -Rcommand to perform a reboot for reconfiguration.
This shuts down HP-UX, reconfigures the nPartition if needed, and reboots the nPartition.
•Reboot the nPartition and put it into the shutdown for reconfiguration state.
Use the HP-UX shutdown -R-Hcommand to hold the nPartition in the shutdown for reconfiguration state.
NOTE: On Superdome SX2000 PA, Shutdown –R–Hdoes not stop at BIB if the MP has been hot swapped since the last reboot.
NOTE: On HP Integrity servers you should reset an nPartition only after all self tests and partition rendezvous have completed. For example, when the nPartition is inactive (all cells are at BIB) or is at EFI.
This leaves the nPartition and all its cells in an inactive state (the nPartition can be reconfigured remotely).
To reboot the nPartition, you must do so manually by using the BO command at the management processor Command Menu.
If HP-UX is halted on the nPartition, thus not allowing you to use the shutdown command, you can reboot or reset the nPartition by issuing commands from the management processor Command Menu.
Booting and Shutting Down HP OpenVMS I64
This section presents procedures for booting and shutting down HP OpenVMS I64 on cell-based HP Integrity servers and procedures for adding HP OpenVMS to the boot options list.
•To determine whether the cell local memory (CLM) configuration is appropriate for HP OpenVMS, refer to “HP OpenVMS I64 Support for Cell Local Memory” (page 129).
•To add an HP OpenVMS entry to the boot options list, refer to “Adding HP OpenVMS to the Boot Options List” (page 129).
•To boot HP OpenVMS on a cell-based HP Integrity server, refer to “Booting HP OpenVMS” (page 131).
•To shut down HP OpenVMS, refer to “Shutting Down HP OpenVMS” (page 132).
