Single user mode in IA servers

Hi,

I would like to know how to get into the single user mode in IA servers such as rx2600 or rx5670 servers.

In the PA unit, we can always go to the ISL prompt and type hpux -is

But in the IA servers, no idea where how to access ISL prompt. Also, overheard the
hpux -is option is not valid anymore in IA.

Thanks,

Re: Single user mode in IA servers

Hi there,

When the Itanium server starts up, at the boot option select
HP-UX Primary Boot

You get messages
HP-UX Boot Loader for IA64
Press Any Key to interupt Autoboot

Press a key to interupt the boot, and get to the "HPUX>" prompt

At the prompt type
hpux -is

Hope this information can help you.

Best Regards,
AW

Select EFI Shell when the system boots up.

From the Shell> prompt enter "fs1:"
and then type "hpux -is" to boot into the single user mode.
