single user mode v-class

[Joseph Hoh]

How do you boot to single user mode on a V class from the main menu. On other systems I halt the boot and get the main menu. Then I would choose "bo pri" and it would ask me if I want to interact with the IPL. However on the V-class it just boots up without asking about the IPL.

Try: bo -is
or try: bo pri -is
This works for me.

Also, break out of Start-up Checklist item: ctrl-shift-pipe

Good Luck!

I believe you just put in "is" after you interrupt the boot process. It assumes you are booting primary and hpux and is only looking for arguments to the hpux command.

[Tony Constantine_1]

interupt the boot sequence and at the "ISL>" prompt enter hpux -is to boot up in single user mode

[farhi]

try following:
bo pri isl
when you get isl prompt
try hpux -is

Hi Jeff,

Either type
bo pri isl
and when you get the ISL prompt
hpux -is

or type
bo pri -is

Both work for me

There is no IPL/ISL on V class systems. Simply interrupt the boot process and type:

boot -is
