Installation guide
If you execute the init command, the console will print a message asking
you to confirm that you actually want to reset all partitions. Answer no to
abort the init command or yes to continue with the init command.
E.4.6.1.2 Shutting Down or Rebooting the Operating System
To shut down the operating system running in a partition and return to
console mode (P##>>> prompt), use the shutdown command. For example:
# /usr/sbin/shutdown -h +5 "Shutting down the OS"
The shutdown command can also shut down and reboot the operating
system. For example:
# /usr/sbin/shutdown -r +5 "Rebooting the OS"
E.4.6.2 Recovering an Interrupted Operating System Boot
An incomplete or interrupted operating system boot may leave the console
boot drivers in an inconsistent state. In this case, the console will display
the following message:
Inconsistent boot driver state.
System is configured with multiple partitions.
A complete INIT must be performed before rebooting.
Use the following procedure to recover from this condition:
1. Shut down the operating system in all running partitions.
2. Execute the following commands on the primary console:
P00>>>set lp_count 0
P00>>>init
P00>>>set lp_count N
(where N is the number of partitions)
P00>>>init
P00>>>lpinit
3. Boot the operating system in each partition. For example:
P00>>>boot
P04>>>boot
E.4.6.3 Halting Processors
Under normal operating conditions, it is not necessary to manually halt
processors. The processor will halt and enter console mode when the
operating system is shut down. However, you will need to manually halt
the processor if the operating system hangs for some reason (for example,
while debugging a loadable device driver).
