Booting HP-UX using Boot Console Handler (BCH)
If Instant Ignition was ordered, HP-UX will have been installed in the factory at the Primary Path address. If
HP-UX is at a path other than the Primary Path, use the pa (path) command (from the Configuration Menu)
to set boot path.
1. Main Menu: Enter command or Menu> co
2. Configuration Menu> pa pri xx/xx/xx
3. Configuration Menu> ma
Once the Primary Path has been set, use the bo (boot) command (from the Main Menu) to boot HP-UX.
1. Main Menu: Enter command or Menu> bo pri
2. The following prompt appears:
Do you wish to stop at the ISL prompt prior to booting (y/n)?
Enter n.
NOTE If the partition fails to boot, or if the server was shipped without instant ignition, you may have
to boot from a DVD that contains the operating system and other necessary software.
