This section provides an overview of booting HP computer systems
if you have HP computer systems that may not be running HP-UX. If
you need further help with the boot process, enter: BOOT ADMIN> help boot If the client system is already running an OS, use this procedure
or the bootsys command as described in the previous section. Determine your network server address for
the install. If necessary, see your system administrator for this
information. Turn the power ON for the target system. When you see a message about stopping the boot search,
quickly press and hold Esc down to stop the boot-selection process.
Booting
Current Workstations and Servers | |
After the power is turned on, you will see a GUI screen (workstations) that
displays instructions to press Esc to stop the boot process. (On servers, the TUI is used.) Press Esc to view the BOOT ADMIN menu: Command Description
------- -----------
Auto [boot|search] [on|off] Display or set auto flag
Boot [pri|alt|scsi.addr] [isl] Boot from primary,alternate or SCSI
Boot lan[.lan_addr] [install] [isl] Boot from LAN
Chassis [on|off] Enable chassis codes
Diagnostic [on|off] Enable/disable diagnostic boot mode
Fastboot [on|off] Display or set fast boot flag
Help Display the command menu
Information Display system information
LanAddress Display LAN station addresses
Monitor [type] Select monitor type
Path [pri|alt] [lan.id|SCSI.addr] Change boot path
Pim [hpmc|toc|lpmc] Display PIM info
Search [ipl] [scsi|lan [install]] Display potential boot device
Secure [on|off] Display or set security mode
-----------------------------------------------------------
BOOT_ADMIN> If your network only has one Ignite-UX server available,
enter: BOOT ADMIN> boot lan install Otherwise, to make sure you boot from the correct server,
either make the system search for servers and pick one or explicitly
tell the system where to boot, as follows: To search for servers type the following (workstations only): BOOT ADMIN> search lan install The list of servers will be displayed with IP addresses.
You may need to run the nslookup command on another running system to determine which
address corresponds to your Ignite-UX server, if this information
isn't already available. Once you know the IP address of your server (as
provided by the search or the nslookup command), boot the system by entering: BOOT ADMIN> boot lan.nn.n.nn.n install where: nn.n.nn.n is your server's IP address. The system then begins to load the install kernel from the
network server. This should take 3 to 5 minutes.
Booting
Older Series 700 Workstations | |
On older Series 700 systems, you will eventually see this
menu: b) Boot from specified device
s) Search for bootable devices
a) Enter Boot Administration mode
x) Exit and continue boot sequence
?) HelpSelect from menu: Do one of the following: If your network has only one install
server and your system is not configured as a diskless client, then
type: boot lan The boot may fail the first time because of an intentional
delayed response by the install server. If it fails,
try it again. If it fails more than three times, check for problems
on the install server (see Appendix A “Troubleshooting ”)
OR... If your network has multiple install servers, make
sure you boot from the network server address specified by your
system administrator.
Search for serversEnter: BOOT ADMIN> search lan If your Ignite-UX server does not appear during the
search, exit by entering: x If you know the Ethernet™ address of your server
and can specify where to boot without going through the search process,
enter: BOOT ADMIN> boot lan.080009-nnnnnn where: 080009-nnnnnn is the Ethernet address of the install server. (Some
newer systems may not use the 080009 prefix.) This number can be found by running the lanscan command on the server. If your server is listed during the search, you can
boot the system by entering p and the index number of the server. For example: BOOT ADMIN> p1 This will cause the boot to begin. Or, exit this screen by
entering: BOOT ADMIN> x BOOT ADMIN> boot p1
