BCH This procedure (RECONFIGRESET command) resets an nPartition to a
ready for reconfig state from the partition’s BCH interface.
Step 1. Log in to the server complex’s service processor, access the nPartition’s
console, and access the BCH interface.
From the partition console you access the partition’s BCH interface. If
the partition is not at the BCH interface you must either boot the
partition or shut down HP-UX to return to the BCH interface.
Step 2. From the partition’s BCH interface, enter the RECONFIGRESET command
to reset the partition to a ready for reconfig state.
The RECONFIGRESET command resets all cells in the partition, performs
any partition reconfigurations, and halts all cells at a boot-is-blocked
state, thus making the partition and all its cells inactive.
HP-UX This procedure (shutdown -R -H command) resets an nPartition to a
ready for reconfig state from HP-UX running on the partition.
Step 1. Log in to HP-UX running on the nPartition.
You can log in to HP-UX on the partition either by directly connecting
(with the telnet or rlogin commands) or by logging in to its complex’s
service processor (GSP or MP) and using the Console menu to access the
partition’s console.
Step 2. Issue the shutdown -R -H command to reset the partition to a
ready for reconfig state.
The shutdown -R -H command shuts down HP-UX, reset all cells in the
partition, perform any partition reconfigurations, and halt all cells at a
boot-is-blocked state, thus making the partition and all its cells inactive.
