boot vmunix -lm... how to go to multiuser mode?

Question: if you have done some work in LVM maintenance mode and now want to try to bring the OS to multiuser mode to check things out (without rebooting again), what are the BEST steps with HP-UX?

bcheckrc?
init 6?

Looks like reboot required since temporary /dev/root is used and you cant change your root with the OS up. Makes sense.

Actually the best way is to reboot. You can do init 6, but you will probably end up with your / file system mounted under a different name (sorry, can't remember the name) and this may ultimately cause you problems.

You *may* go further, but you should never do this.

Always *Reboot* the system!

Hi,

If you booted your system in lvm maintenance mode it is a good habbit to reboot (shutdown -r -y now or reboot) to multi user mode.

example doc.

6. Maintenance mode only:

Reboot your system into multi user mode.
