Stopping HP-UX
Rebooting the system
To shutdown HP-UX and reboot the V-Class server, perform the
following steps:
Step 1. If the server is running HP-UX, log in to the server as root.
Step 2. Check activity on the server and warn users of the impending server
reboot.
If HP-UX is hung, to reboot HP-UX you may need to reset the server. See
“Resetting the V2500/V2600 server hardware” on page 134.
Step 3. Change to the root directory. Enter:
cd /
Step 4. Shut down the system using the shutdown or reboot command. Enter:
shutdown -r
or
reboot
Progress messages detailing system shutdown activities print to the
terminal. Upon reaching run-level 0, the system:
• Restarts in single-user mode
• Displays the root prompt
See the shutdown and reboot man pages for complete descriptions of the
commands and available options.
