Boot

Processor Dependent Code

Interrupt PDC boot process by keyboard in 10s, to enter Boot Console Handler (BCH):

To show current options and help, and get to main menu:

display
help
main

Show boot path:

path

Boot from primary or alternative paths:

boot PRI
boot ALT

Search for boot devices:

search

Search for IPL devices:

search ipl

Boot from one of the paths above with Path Number:

boot P1

Set primary boot path to SCSI ID 6:

path pri P2

Enter configuration menu:

configuration

Show/change monitor configuration:

monitor list

Show/change time configuration:

time

Enter information menu:

information

Enter service menu:

service

Initial System Loader

Once a boot command is sucessful, the ISL is read from disk, and can be interacted with if chosen. Run Offline Diagnostics Environment (ODE):

ode

Or the HP-UX Secondary System Loader which starts the HP-UX kernel (vmunix):

hpux

possibly with flags for single user, maintenance, or a custom kernel:

hpux –is
hpux –lm
hpux (;0)/stand/vmunix.prev

When booting off CD-ROM to install:

hpux (;0):INSTALL

See help for more.

Installation

  • Choose LVM with VxFS for workstation use

Typical disk partitioning:

Volume HP-UX 11i V1 HP-UX 11i V2
/stand 384 MB 384 MB
/ 512 MB 1024 MB
/tmp 256 MB 256 MB
/home 16384 MB 16384 MB
/var 1024 MB 8192 MB
/usr 4096 MB 16384 MB
/opt 8192 MB 8192 MB

mkdir /cdrom
ioscan -fnC disk
mount -F cdfs -o ro -r /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /cdrom

See documents:

* /cdrom/USRGUIDE.PDF
* /cdrom/TEXT_FILES

Administration

See also:

Hardware

If new devices are not detected:

cd /dev
insf -e

Show all devices:

ioscan -f

Scan for disks:

/usr/sbin/ioscan -d sdisk

Scan for a floppy drive:

ioscan -fnC floppy

which should produce a device file like "/dev/floppy/c0t1d0".

Format a floppy (1.44 MB) for use with HFS and mount filesystem:

mediainit -f 16 /dev/rfloppy/c0t1d0
newfs -F hfs /dev/rfloppy/c0t1d0
mount /dev/rfloppy/c0t1d0 /floppy

Here, 16 is the format type listed in the floppy command's man page. Use 26 for 1.6 MB.

Access MS-DOS formatted files (disks cannot be formatted in HP-UX) with:

dosls /dev/rfloppy/c0t1d0:/somedir
doscp /tmp/somefile.txt /dev/rfloppy/c0t1d0:/

Desktop

Enable/disable auto-start:

/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -e
/usr/dt/bin/dtconfig -d

Control which X servers to start:

/etc/dt/config/Xservers

Errors:

/var/dt/Xerrors

Networking

Show network interfaces:

lanscan -i
ifconfig lan0

Configuration files for IPv4 / IPv6:

  • /etc/rc.config.d/netconf
  • /etc/rc.config.d/netconf-ipv6

Disks

Show physical disk info:

ioscan -funC disk

Software

Show software bundles:

swlist -i
