Procedure E-7 LVM-Maintenance Mode HP-UX Booting [EFI Shell]
From the EFI Shell environment, boot in LVM-maintenance mode by stopping the boot process
at the HPUX.EFI interface (the HP-UX Boot Loader prompt, HPUX>) entering the boot -lm
vmunix command. The EFI Shell is available only on HP Integrity servers.
See “ACPI Configuration for HP-UX Must Be “default”” (page 196) for required configuration

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

to invoke the \EFI\HPUX\HPUX.EFI loader on the selected device.
4. Type any key within the ten seconds given for interrupting the HP-UX boot process. This
stops the boot process at the HPUX.EFI interface (the HP-UX Boot Loader prompt, HPUX>).
5. At the HPUX.EFI interface, enter the boot -lm vmunix command to boot HP-UX (the
/stand/vmunix kernel) in LVM-maintenance (-lm) mode.
6. Exit the console and service processor interfaces if finished using them.
To exit the EFI environment type ^B (Control-B); this exits the nPartition console and returns
to the service processor Main Menu. To exit the service processor, type X at the Main Menu.
