KZPDC and serial console

John Welsh_2 — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 07:53:46 GMT

Hi gang,
Many moons ago, (I think in 2004 ), I configured
a Smartarray 5300A on an ES40 SRM with a serial
VT520 console. Problem is I can't remember
the escape sequences to get started.
I have searched HP but can't find any
reference. Can anyone help on this ?
Thanks.

John,

are you looking for

>>> run bios pya0

or more info?

Here is a link to the configuration info

Hi Duncan,
Thanks for your input but no I have to
use a VT520 serial console on the Alpha.
The functionality is similar to the old
ra200srl program that was used to configure
the original DAC SWXCR on an Alpha
using a dumb serial console.
I have done it before but didn't make
a note of the Escape sequences at the
time.
Regards, JohnW.

John,

have a look at this thread where Antonio gives the escape sequences in his last response

Great.
Exactly what I was looking for.
I can now check the status of
the configured volumes.
Thanks Duncan.
