  | As mentioned earlier, the hpux utility manages loading the HP-UX kernel and gives control to the kernel. ISL can have hpux run an "autoexecute" file or commands can be given interactively. In most situations you would just want to automatically boot the system, however, in our example so far, we have decided to interact with IPL in the interest of looking at some of the functionality in ISL. We proceed with the boot process by simply issuing the HPUX utility name as shown in the following example: |
ISL> hpux Boot : disk(0/0/1/1.2.0.0.0.0.0;0)/stand/vmunix 7094272 + 849200 + 724128 start 0x241068 alloc_pdc_pages: Relocating PDC from 0xf0f0000000 to 0x7f9ab000. gate64: sysvec_vaddr = 0xc0002000 for 1 pages NOTICE: nfs3_link(): File system was registered at index 4.

Console Login: I abbreviated this listing where the three dots appear before the Console Login: prompt. | | We have a number of options we can issue with the HPUX utility. The manual page at the end of this chapter describes several options in detail. Table 3-5 is a list of examples of some common HPUX utility booting options, some of which are from the man page: |
Table 3-5. hpux Examples| Command (all at ISL> prompt) | Comments |
|---|
| Automatic Boot | No interaction - autoboot sequence. | | hpux -is | Bring up system at run level s for single-user mode. | | hpux | Default boot sequence from autoexecute normally object file is /stand/vmuinx. | | hpux vmunix.test | Boot object file vmunix.test. | | hpux (52.5.0.0) /stand/vmunix | Boot from /stand/vmunix on the disk at the path 52.5.0.0. | | hpux lan(32) /stand/vmunix | Boot from LAN. | | hpux -v | Get HP-UX version numbers.. | | hp-ux ll /stand | List contents of /stand on root disk. |
| | The part of the boot that takes place after the hpux command is issued is in the four following parts: |
HP-UX initializes the system hardware and devices - The HP-UX kernel locates and initializes system hardware such as memory, I/O busses and devices, and so on. Kernel device drivers are associated with I/O devices at this time. You see many messages fly-by on the system console as this process is taking place. HP-UX kernel data structures are created and initialized - There are many tables for system processes and memory, file systems, and so on, that are created. You also see the status of this part of the boot on the system console. HP-UX searches for the root file system - The base file system contains critical system files and is usually found on the disk from which HP-UX boots. Many commands are run as part of this process. HP-UX starts the init process called /sbin/init - The init process, which has an ID of one, starts all other processes on the system. The init process reads /etc/inittab for direction. There is a detailed description of the contents of /etc/inittab in Chapter 7.
| | I encourage you to issue some of the PDC, ISL, and hpux utility commands covered earlier, especially those that do not modify your system in any way but only provide information about the system. |
| | The next section covers configuring the Secure Web Console. |
