7. Exit the console and iLO 3 MP interfaces.

Booting HP-UX from the UEFI Shell
1. Access the UEFI Shell.
2. From the UEFI Front Page, press S or s to launch the UEFI shell.
3. Use the map command to list the file systems (fs0, fs1, and so on) that are known and have
been mapped.
4. To select a file system to use, enter its mapped name followed by a colon (:). For example, to
operate with the boot device that is mapped as fs0, enter fs0: at the UEFI Shell prompt.
5. Enter HPUX at the UEFI Shell command prompt to launch the HPUX.EFI loader from the
currently selected boot device.
If needed, specify the full path of loader by entering \EFI\HPUX\HPUX at the UEFI Shell
command prompt.
6. Allow the HPUX.EFI loader to proceed with the boot command specified in the AUTO file,or
manually specify the boot command.
By default, the HPUX.EFI loader boots using the loader commands found in the
\EFI\HPUX\AUTO file on the UEFI System Partition of the selected boot device. The AUTO
file typically contains the boot vmunix command.
To interact with the HPUX.EFI loader, interrupt the boot process (for example, type a space)
within the time-out period provided by the loader. To exit the loader, use the exit command,
which returns you to UEFI.
Booting HP-UX in single-user mode
1. Use steps 1–5 from “Booting HP-UX from the UEFI Shell” (page 34) to access the UEFI shell
and launch the HPUX.EFI loader.
2. Access the HP-UX Boot Loader prompt (HPUX>) by pressing any key within the 10 seconds
given for interrupting the HP-UX boot process. Use the HPUX.EFI loader to boot HP-UX in
single-user mode in step 3
After you press a key, the HPUX.EFI interface (the HP-UX Boot Loader prompt, HPUX>)
launches. For help using the HPUX.EFI loader, enter the help command. To return to the UEFI
Shell, enter exit.
3. At the HPUX.EFI interface (the HP-UX Boot loader prompt, HPUX>) enter the boot -is
vmunix command to boot HP-UX (the /stand/vmunix kernel) in single-user (-is) mode.
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” (page 34)), 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.
1. Log in to HP-UX running on the server that you want to shut down or log in to iLO 3 MP for
the server and use the Console menu to access the system console. Accessing the console
through iLO 3 MP enables you to maintain console access to the server after HP-UX has shut
down.
