Re: unable to stop at EFI shell of vPar
Problem was EFI variable AutoBoot was set to "ON", and delay was set to "0". So blade immediately went to boot from the first item on the booot options list.
I had to physically remove all of the viable boot options, including the internal boot disk. Reset. The system then tried (and failed) on every option on the list until it came to the "EFI Shell" option.
To check settings,
fsx:> autoboot
Autoboot: ON
Current Timeout is : n seconds
Number of retries is : m
Now either turn off autoboot
fsx:> autoboot off
Autoboot: OFF
Number of retries is : 0
or if you want it ON, set delay, in this case (10) seconds
fsx:> autoboot 10
For full information check
Shell> help set autoboot
Probably not applicable to your problem, but who knows!
Dave.

Re: unable to stop at EFI shell of vPar
The EFI shell is a firmware-level feature.
When you're running a vPar system, the EFI shell is used only to start up vpmon. A vPar does not have an EFI shell: only the actual hardware has that.
If you need to access the EFI shell, you must stop *all* vPars on the system, so that the vpmon can be stopped and the entire system rebooted.
