Single-User Mode HP-UX Booting
This section describes how to boot HP-UX in single-user mode on cell-based HP Integrity servers.
Single-User Mode HP-UX Booting (EFI Shell)
From the EFI Shell environment, boot in single-user mode by stopping the boot process at the
HPUX.EFI interface (the HP-UX Boot Loader prompt, HPUX>) by entering the boot -is vmunix
command. The EFI Shell is available only on HP Integrity servers.
Refer to “ACPI Configuration for HP-UX Must Be default” on page 147 for required configuration
details.
Step 1. Access the EFI Shell environment for the nPartition on which you want to boot HP-UX in
single-user mode.
Log in to the management processor, and enter CO to access the Console list. Select the nPartition
console.
When accessing the console, confirm that you are at the EFI Boot Manager menu (the main EFI
menu). If you are at another EFI menu, select the Exit option from the submenus until you return
to the screen with the EFI Boot Manager heading.
From the EFI Boot Manager menu, select the EFI Shell menu option to access the EFI Shell
environment.
Step 2. Access the EFI System Partition for the device from which you want to boot HP-UX (fsX: where X
is the file system number).
Step 3. When accessing the EFI System Partition for the desired boot device, issue the HPUX command to
initiate the \EFI\HPUX\HPUX.EFI loader on the device you are accessing.
