Console Problem

[Kavita Poonia]

Hello all,

I am trying to login into Console of one of the HP-UX server but I think it is in Edit Mode as I am not getting the login prompt after ^Ecf and it is getting hanged. Please provide me the switch to use to get out from Edit Mode.

- - - - - - - - - - - - Live Console - - - - - - - - - - - -

[Read-only - use ^Ecf to attach to console.]

Thanks * regards,

if CTRL-B doesn't get you back to an MP prompt then your MP/iLO card is probably hung... Depending on the model, there's usually a way to reset it though.

Then use ps(1) to see what the console user is doing.

Hi Dennis,

What to grep in ps -ef to see that ?

I am also not able to ping Console's IP.

Has the console crashed or something like that ?

Hi,

Console "hangs" what does you /var/adm/syslog.syslog --> show's ..?

was there any firmware -upgrade done recently..?

Question:-

Are you connecting the Console "ip" like remote Console .?

if yes , please check with your Network Team support & request for "RESET" switch settings,

Thanks,
Johnson
