Itanium login

Rob Daniels — Fri, 06 Jan 2006 06:41:11 GMT

Hi,

I have installed a rx2620 (HP-UX rx 2620 B.11.23 U ia64 unlimited-user license) in our network, attached a console and started the system. No problem so far.

When I open a telnet session at my PC, it shows the MP login and I expected (like our other system HP-UX HP9000 B.11.11 U 9000/800) a default prompt login: login:
I don’t want a MP login again because that login is already at the console and it will break off the console login if I continue to MP login at my PC.

To be honest I am not familiar with the itanium or integrity server (whatever it may be named). I do have some experience with "older" HP9000 systems.

Could anybody tell me how to get the default prompt at my PC to login?

Thank you in advance.
Kind regards
Rob Daniels

Hello,

rx2620 will be having two different IP addresses. You should have connected to MP from where you can get HP-UX console. Just login to MP with Admin/Admin, then MP>co, you will get HP-UX terminal.

Just as a side note, if you can't login to the MP with the default Admin login/password, there is the MP reset button on the rear of the server itself. This will enable you to reset the login.

The OS console session is mirrored to the serial console, remote console and LAN/Web thru the MP. If you want to have different telnet sessions, you have to connect to the OS directly, not to the MP.
Otherwise logon to the MP and switch to the OS console with CO command.

Thank you all !

I do not have any problems getting connected with MP>co and getting the unix prompt. I did this on the console attached to the Console/Serial Port A. The problem is that I want a direct unix OS session prompt at my PC without getting the MP login.

I created a telnet session with reflection to the IP address mentioned in the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf. This should be the right address, right? Where can I find the other IP address, what is the function of it and why should I have 2 ip addresses?

How can I connect directly to the OS via my PC without getting the MP login?

The box has different IP addresses. There are addresses assigned to the NICs from the OS level and there is the IP for the MP/GSP.

Get the addresses:

logon to the MP and do

MP:CM> lc

this lists the address configuration of the management processor.

Now go to the OS level. run

lanscan

to get the device files of all NICs (e.g. lan0, lan1 ...).

Now do a

ifconfig lan0
ifconfig lan1 ...

for all of them.

the "inet" entry is showing you the addresses. Use one of these to connect to the system.

Thank you!

The IP address shown by MP:CM> lc and by ifconfig lan0 are the same! Is this why I get the MP login when I try to connect at my PC with telnet? If so, changing the ip address in netconf should solve the problem?

Dear Rob,

The IP shown in MP>LC command is the MP Ip address, which should be used for remote administration of the server.

Since the IP address configured in the HPUX and the MP are same you might be getting the MP login screen by default.

You can go ahead in changing either of the IP address and use it.

To change the IP Address of the MP

use MP>CM>LC

To change the IP address of the OS

you can either use the SAM or update the netconf file.

And whenever you want the server connection you can directly telnet to IP Address assigned in the OS ( HPUX )

With Regards,

Siva.
