Booting and Resetting Superdome Partitions

Procedures for Booting and Resetting Partitions

Chapter 5 259

Refer to the following list for the available HP-UX shut down options for

Superdome partitions.

• Shut down HP-UX and halt the partition.

Use the shutdown -h or reboot -h command to shut down and halt

the partition.

This leave the partition and all its cells in an active state (the

partition cannot be reconﬁgured) after HP-UX shuts down and halts.

To reboot the partition you must reset the partition using the GSP

command menu’s RS command.

• Shut down HP-UX and reboot the partition.

Use the shutdown -r or reboot -r command to shut down and

reboot the partition.

• Perform a reboot-for-reconﬁg of the partition.

Use the shutdown -R or reboot -R command to perform a

reboot-for-reconﬁg.

This shuts down HP-UX, reconﬁgures the partition if needed, and

reboots the partition.

• Reboot the partition and put it in to a ready-for-reconﬁg

state.

Use the shutdown -R -H or reboot -R -H command to put the

partition into a ready-for-reconﬁg state.

This leaves the partition and all its cells in an inactive state (the

partition can be reconﬁgured).

To reboot the partition you must do so manually by using the GSP

command menu’s BO command.

If HP-UX is halted on the partition, thus not allowing you to use the

shutdown or reboot command, you can reboot or reset the partition by

issuing command from the GSP command menu.
