Booting HP-UX in LVM-maintenance mode
The procedure for booting HP-UX into LVM Maintenance Mode is the same as for booting into
single user mode (“Booting HP-UX in single-user mode”), except use the -lm boot option instead
of the -is boot option:
HPUX> boot -lm vmunix
Shutting down HP-UX
For more information, see the shutdown( 1M) manpage.
To shut down HP-UX running on a server:
1. Log in to HP-UX running on the server that you want to shut down or log in to iLO MP for
the server and use the Console menu to access the system console. Accessing the console
through iLO MP enables you to maintain console access to the server after HP-UX has shut
down.
2. Issue the shutdown command with the appropriate command-line options.
The command-line options you specify determines the way in which HP-UX shuts down
and whether the server is rebooted.
Use the following list to choose an HP-UX shutdown option for your server:
• Shut down HP-UX and halt (power off) the server using the shutdown -h command.
Reboot a halted server by powering on the server using the PC command at the iLO
MP Command menu.
• Shut down HP-UX and reboot the server by issuing the shutdown -r command.
