This is step 5 of the create nPartition
wizard. In this step you specify whether the partition
should be booted as soon as it is created, or should be manually
booted later.
For an overview of the entire create nPartition wizard, refer
to the parent help topic, create
nPartition.
For a guide to nPartition configuration
requirements and recommendations, refer to the configuration guide.
Initial Boot Options
There are two choices for the initial boot of the new partition.
- Boot nPartition to system firmware user interface once created
At the end of this wizard, once the nPartition has been created, it will be
automatically booted to the user interface provided by system
firmware.
On PA-RISC systems the boot console handler will
provide the interface to specify the boot device.
On Itanium®-based
systems the EFI Boot Manager will provide the interface to
specify the boot device.
- Manually boot later via the service processor's Command Menu
At the end of this wizard, once the nPartition has been created, it will be
left unbooted. You can manually boot the nPartition later, using the
service processor's command interface. The user
interface provided by system firmware will set the
boot device at that time.
This is the default choice.
