Can you access the server directly by telnet/ssh? Maybe another process is blocking the console so you cannot get a prompt? Check with "ps" and grep for "console".

First I uld try to press CTRL l (L) to refresh the screen. Maybe you are still in the swinstall - view log window?

What exactly happens when you try to log in via the console? What error do you receive?

Are you sure your password is correct?

Are there any special characters, especially @ or # in the password? If so, that may be causing your problem.

Do you mean to say that you can login to Partition 0 (eaip2) without problem? This issue is there only when accessing this partition console via the MP? That would exclude the MP and the terminal settings from being the issue (though you could try resetting the MP hardware (XD command from MP:CM).

>there are two HP-UX 11.23 OS are running.

Do both have the same passwords?

Can you connect to the other and login there?

If you can telnet there, what does lastb(1) show about the failed login attempts?

Thanks issue resolved , I don't know how default login changed from vpar1 to vpar2. there was two vpars in second npar .Initially default login was set to vpar2 . But after rebooting , I got the login prompt of vpar1.

so I was unable to login in to server.

You did not tell vPars is running here.

You cannot set such "default" login, the virtual consoles toggle around beginning with the first vPar, then the second, ..., then the first again using CTRL a.
