4 Booting the Operating System
This chapter describes procedures for booting and shutting down the HP-UX operating system
on the HP 9000 rp4410 and rp4440 servers.
Supported Operating System
Booting the server loads the operating system, which is essential for running all other programs.
You can only run one operating system on the server at one time.
The HP-UX 11i version 1 (and higher HP-UX versions that support PA-RISC systems) is supported
on the server.
NOTE:
HP-UX is the only supported operating system for single-core processors.
