6.12 Starting/Stopping the System (PPAR)


6.12 Starting/Stopping the System (PPAR)
Check the start and stop of a physical partition (PPAR). For the initial settings, change the auto-boot? setting to "false" so that Oracle Solaris does not automatically boot immediately after the start of the physical partition.
  1. Execute the setpparparam command to change setting of the OpenBoot PROM environment variable auto-boot?.
XSCF> setpparparam -p 0 -s bootscript "setenv auto-boot? false"
OpenBoot PROM variable bootscript will be changed.
Continue? [y|n] :y
  1. Execute the poweron command to start the physical partition.
XSCF> poweron -a
PPAR-IDs to power on:00
Continue? [y|n]:y
00:Powering on

*Note*
This command only issues the instruction to power-on.
The result of the instruction can be checked by the "showpparprogress".
Note - It takes about five minutes to start.
  1. Execute the showpparprogress command.
    You can check the progress, in the midst of processing, between physical partition power-on and up to before the start of POST.
    Confirm that the command displays "The sequence of power control is completed." and ends.
Note - Oracle Solaris does not start automatically because the auto-boot? setting is false.

  1. Execute the console command to connect to the console of the specified physical partition.
    The auto-boot? setting is false, so you can confirm the start up to the ok prompt.
XSCF> console -p 0
Console contents may be logged.
