1 Unit 2 System startup and shutdown Course materials may not be reproduced in whole or in part without the prior written permission of IBM. 5.2

2 Unit objectives After completing this unit, you should be able to: Describe the System and AIX startup process Activate the System and AIX partitions Understand the AIX startup modes Describe the contents of the /etc/inittab file Understand the role of the System Resource Controller and how to manage subsystems Explain how to shut down the system and AIX partitions

3 System startup Plug in managed system Level 1: Power off Issue Power On command Level 2: Standby Service Processor is active All devices are initialized and powered on. System is ready to support partitions. Start AIX partitions SMS mode -OR - Normal mode Level 3: Operating System is running partitions.

4 Managed system activation ssh chsysstate -m <ms_name> -r sys -o on

5 Start-up modes for AIX (1 of 2) two most popular start-up modes are: SMS mode (the firmware menu) Normal mode SMS mode is used for : Selecting the boot device, for example: Network and IPL parameters Booting into Service (Maintenance) mode, examples: To fix a machine that will not boot Recover root password PowerPC Firmware Version EL320_083 SMS 1.7 (c) Copyright IBM Corp. 2000,2008 All rights reserved Main Menu 1. Select Language 2. Setup Remote IPL (Initial Program Load) 3. Change SCSI Settings 4. Select Console 5. Select Boot Options SMS Top Level Firmware Menu

6 Start-up modes for AIX (2 of 2) Normal mode AIX boots into multi-user mode (run level 2). Users can log in, the system can be configured, and applications can start. bootlist command can set/change the start-up boot device. bootlist bootlist -m -m normal normal -o Displays the current -o hdisk0 hdisk0 blv=hd5 boot device (hdisk0) blv=hd5 bootlist bootlist -m -m normal normal ent0 ent0 bserver= bserver= client= client= Other less common start-up modes: Diagnostic with default boot list Used to run diagnostics using diagnostic CD Diagnostic with stored boot list Used to run online diagnostics Open firmware Changes the current normal bootlist to boot over the network through device ent0 to a network install server Open firmware prompt. Use by service/support personnel to obtain low level debug information

7 AIX start up process overview Partition Activation Locate AIX boot image via firmware or bootlist Load boot image RAMFS created Configure Devices Start rootvg AIX Kernel is now in control init process from RAMFS executes rc.boot script Start real init process From rootvg Process /etc/inittab, default run-level 2 LOGIN

8 AIX partition activation (1 of 2) ssh chsysstate -m <ms_name> -r lpar \ -o on -n <lpar> -f <profile name> -b sms To activate into SMS

12 Run levels Run levels on AIX: 0 and 1: Reserved for future use 2 default (normal): Multi-user mode 3 through 9: Free to be defined by the administrator telinit or init command can be used to change run levels. a, b, c and h can be initiated during any run level start-up, 2 through 9, without killing any existing run level processes. S, s, M, m, results in the system entering single user / maintenance mode. Q, q, re-examines and processes the /etc/inittab file on request. Example: To go from single user to multi-user mode, execute: telinit 2

13 Directory and script control Start-up and stops scripts can be defined for each run level which are automatically invoked at entry and exit. /etc/rc.d ls R /etc/rc.d ls R init.d rc rc2.d rc3.d rc4.d rc5.d rc6.d rc7.d rc8.d rc9.d init.d rc rc2.d rc3.d rc4.d rc5.d rc6.d rc7.d rc8.d rc9.d./init.d:./init.d:./rc2.d:./rc2.d: Ksshd Kwpars Ssshd Scripts starting with Ksshd Kwpars Ssshd S are invoked at./rc3.d:./rc3.d: boot time by /etc/rc.d/rc./rc4.d:./rc4.d:./rc5.d:./rc5.d:./rc6.d:./rc6.d: Scripts starting with K are invoked synchronously by./rc7.d:./rc7.d: shutdown with one argument:./rc8.d: 'stop'. y are also called on./rc8.d: start-up prior to invoking the start./rc9.d: scripts../rc9.d:
