POST-UPGRADE STEPS

1. Search for boot device.

1.1. Using the EFI Boot Manager, enter the EFI Shell:

Choose: “EFI Shell [Built-in]:”

Shell>

1.2. Find the file system mapping for the boot device path of the first virtual partition using the mapping found in preparation step

4.3 of the previous section titled Determining What Is Configured In Each Npartition. Look for the corresponding device map for

the boot device hardware path that looks similar to the following:

Shell> map

fs0 : Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,404)/Pci(1|0)/Scsi(PunA,Lun0)/HD(Part1,Sig8786850E-A951-11DA-

8002-D6217B60E588)

1.3. Ensure the above file system is bootable (i.e., has HPUX.EFI):

Shell> ls fs0:\EFI\HPUX\HPUX.EFI

Directory of: fs0:\EFI\HPUX

01/09/06 04:48p 521,494 HPUX.EFI

1 File(s) 521,494 bytes

0 Dir(s)

where fs0 is the mapping index for the boot device found in step 1.2.

2. Boot from the identified boot device.

2.1. Change the EFI working environment to the EFI Map of the boot device:

Shell> fs0:

where fs0 is the mapping index for the boot device found in step 1.2.

2.2. Start the hpux bootloader and interrupt the autoload, if enabled:

fs0:\> hpux

HP-UX Boot Loader for IPF -- Revision 2.027

Press Any Key to interrupt Autoboot

\efi\hpux\AUTO ==> boot vmunix

Seconds left till autoboot - 9

Type 'help' for help

HPUX>

2.3. Boot the first virtual partition in VxVM maintenance mode:

HPUX> boot –vm /stand/vmunix

POST-UPGRADE STEPS

1. Update the device special files:

# insf -e

2. Check that the boot device special filename as written down in preparation step 4.4.2 of the previous section

titled

Determining What Is Configured In Each Npartition

maps to the correct hardware path (remember that

the H/W path will have changed according to Table 1).

# ioscan -fnk /dev/dsk/c2t10d0s2

/dev/dsk/c2t10d0s2 /dev/rdsk/c2t10d0s2

/dev/dsk/c2t10d0s3 /dev/rdsk/c2t10d0s3

3. Run ioscan to see the new hardware paths:

# ioscan –kfn

For a table of the old to new IO paths Superdome upgrades, see Table 1.
