Still nothing.....

[BHegarty]

Hi all,
I have poured over the doc and can still find nothing about my problem???
I can see the prompt flashing in the console window but can't input anything?!?!?!
Any one had this problem before????

I can't find the original message..
but I recall a keyboard not working console problem.
Try pressing the menu key near the F4 key and having a look around at the keyboard related settings.

You might want to power off the terminal, power on while pressing D (yuo should hear a beep) release D, then try again..

Other than that if you can telnet to the server, you should have a look at the console definition in the /etc/inittab and ensure it looks ok:

menu->user system->F5->F8,view and change all settings.

Hi,

Try tput command. For details see man page, but
at the very beginning run
tput reset

Another way is to reset your terminal to the default settings:
switch off
switch on your terminal pressing simultaneously
Ctrl + Shift + d keys
Probably it is enough to press sth less, but do not remember at the moment.

Hope this helps.

Rgds.

The issue is with a secure web console, I can get in fine and move around but when I try to input commands in the console window nothing happens?????

Are you able to access the Guardian Service Processor ?
Type control b
Service Processor Login: Type Return
Service Processor password: Type Return
GSP>ca
Do you want o modify papmeters on the local console port ? (Y/[N])y
It should be set to 9600 Baud rate and Software
Flow Control.
Also try
GSP>er
This will show the console access state.

Hi Louis, I cannot access the GSP when I type b I just get back sh: ^B: not found.
How do I get into GSP??? I have never seen or used it before??

Hi Bill, I am running HP UX 11 on an Lclass, I am accessing it through an emulator from NT 4 server using IE 5 to log in to console.

Hope this info helps, thanks

I'd start with the basics: verify the cable connection to the local console port of the HP; reset the SWC. I just recently installed one and sometimes had problems if I changed the console configuration or the SWC itself and didn't reset it.

Also, if someone else is already logged into the SWC then they have control. I don't believe you can input until they relinquish control.
