Preparing to Migrate to HP-UX 11i v2
Selecting Your HP-UX Console
Chapter 468
Interface Differences between Itanium-based Systems
Each Itanium-based system has a similar interface with minor
differences. You can navigate these menus with the arrow keys or “v”
and “^” keys to move around, and use the enter or space key to select and
deselect devices. Selected devices have an asterisk (“*”) next to them.
After making your changes to this menu, choose Save Settings to
NVRAM and then Exit.
VGA Consoles Any device in the output device menu that has a Pci section in its path,
but does not have a Uart section will be a VGA device. If you require a
VGA console, choose this device, and unmark all others. In the example
above, a VGA device is selected as the console.
Other Console
Types
Any device in the output device menu that has a Uart section, but no Pci
section is one of the system serial ports; devices containing both a Uart
and Pci section are MP serial ports. Notice that there are actually four
almost identical system serial ports in the example above. The first four
entries are identical except for their VenMsg section. This means that
each entry is actually the same device, with different protocols for
accessing the device. If the first entry is chosen, an Ansi capable terminal
device should be used to talk to the serial port. If the second entry is
chosen, a Vt100 capable terminal device should be used, and so on.
If you choose either a system or MP serial port, HP recommends you
choose a Vt100+ capable terminal device.
Selecting a Console on the HP Integrity rx2600,
rx5670, and zx6000 Systems
On the HP Integrity rx2600, HP Integrity rx5670, and zx6000 systems,
an entry in the output device menu that has a Uart section and a Pci
section will be the serial port on a Management Processor (MP). To use
the MP as your console device, select one of the MP serial device entries,
and deselect everything else.
Step 1. Choose Select Active Console Input Devices.
Step 2. Choose the correct input device and deselect others.
