BOOT
Issuing the BOOT command with no arguments boots the device at the primary (PRI)
boot path.
•
• BOOT bootvariable
This command boots the device indicated by the specified boot path, where bootvariable
is the PRI, HAA, or ALT boot path.
For example, BOOT PRI boots the primary boot path.
• BOOT LAN INSTALL or BOOT LAN.ip-address INSTALL
The BOOT... INSTALL commands boot HP-UX from the default HP-UX install server
or from the server specified by ip-address.
• BOOT path
This command boots the device at the specified path. You can specify the path in HP-UX
hardware path notation (for example, 0/0/2/0/0.13) or in path label format (for example,
P0 or P1) .
If you specify the path in path label format, then path refers to a device path reported
by the last SEARCH command.
After you issue the BOOT command, the BCH interface prompts you to specify whether you
want to stop at the ISL prompt.
To boot the /stand/vmunix HP-UX kernel from the device without stopping at the ISL
prompt, enter n to automatically proceed past ISL and execute the contents of the AUTO file
on the chosen device. (By default the AUTO file is configured to load /stand/vmunix).

: disk(0/0/1/0/0.15.0.0.0.0.0;0)/stand/vmunix
To boot an HP-UX kernel other than /stand/vmunix, or to boot HP-UX in single-user or
LVM-maintenance mode, stop at the ISL prompt and specify the appropriate arguments to
the hpux loader.
4. Exit the console and management processor interfaces if you are finished using them.
To exit the BCH environment, press ^B (Control+B); this exits the nPartition console and
returns to the management processor Main Menu. To exit the management processor, enter
X at the Main Menu.
Procedure 4-3 HP-UX Booting (EFI Boot Manager)
From the EFI Boot Manager menu, select an item from the boot options list to boot HP-UX using
that boot option. The EFI Boot Manager is available only on HP Integrity servers.
Refer to “ACPI Configuration for HP-UX Must Be default” (page 120) for required configuration
details.
