Hi,

Additionly, while installing I am stuck up at the console prompt...machine is booting up...but i can't retrieve output on console...although I switch on/off consolee it just shows the same bottom menu of "Auto" etc. how to get rid of this menu?

eran,

the server key is in "on" mode only.
Whenever we r putting it on we r getting user interface menu direrctly so I think that this may be the problem. Eventhough I am resetting the monitor I gets user interface menu....

Are you using an HP terminal such as the 700/92 or one of the newer C-series of terminals, or are you using a PC for a console? If it is an HP terminal and the menu you are referring to is a set of boxes across the bottom, these are softkeys or function keys. Most likely, someone has been playing with them and taken the terminal offline.

The steps to put the terminal into REMOTE MODE (and out of BLOCK MODE if necessary) or to change the emulation depend on the terminal you are using.

Hi Bill,

Thanks a lot..atlast I am able to get into. It starts showing the booting process on the console. But the new prob is If I enter any command at "MENU" prompt say "boot P6" then it shows "Error : unknown commnad". what may be the possible reasons....any key sequence of terminal U suggest for the same?

Hi Sripad,

I have experienced the same problem. Look like you have some problems with the terminal settings. Choose the terminal emulation as "HP". If needed, select "7 bit and odd parity" or "8 bit no parity". This depend on your terminal type. You need to play around with that.

Hi Eran,

Now we r facing a different poblem. We are able to install hpux11.00 os on HPK210 model server. I want to add a disk of 36 GB capacity to the server for additional work load. It's a scsi disk. If I connect it to the scsi port of k210, my k210 server doesn't boot at all. After removing the disk it behaves well. I checked for scsi id conflict but there seems tobe no problem. Have you ever connected an additional scsi disk to k210 server?

pl reply asap.
