Re: HP 9000/827S

I guess I spoke too soon...

I found someone who knows the
root password.

So, thanks to all the great
help I've gotten, I have managed
to get a terminal session
established and I'm logged in
as root.

Only 3 things left to overcome:

1 - Find out what version of
HP-UX I'm running

2 - Configure the 802.3 LAN
card with a valid IP address,
subnet mask and default gateway
for the LAN

3 - Deal with the following
message:
/: write failed, file system is
full

Thanks,
Prent

Re: HP 9000/827S

1) Easy -- Use the uname command.

# uname -a

2) Edit /etc/rc.config.d/netconf or you can go through sam

3) Do a 'bdf' and see which filesystem is full. Then use 'du -ks *' in that filesystem to see which directories are largest and find what you can delete.

Good luck.

Re: HP 9000/827S

Hi guys (and I say that in a gender-neutral fashion, of course!),

FWIW, the reason the LAN jumper was labeled "INT" and "EXT" on these boards is that the notation refers to the TRANSCEIVER. The AUI port connects to an EXTERNAL transceiver, while the 10base2 transceiver is onboard - INTERNAL.

It would have been clearer to label the jumper "AUI" and "BNC", but so it goes...

...just thought somebody might like to know.

Best Regards,

Dave

Re: HP 9000/827S

Everyone who worked on the (very ancient) Nova boxes (like your 827) as well as the earlier CIO boxes shared your concern. Remember that these boxe predate most common LAN connections today so those concerns have long since been forgotten. When the 827 was being manufactured, the networking world was TokenRing, coax and the newcomer: 10BaseT. The AUI port was used connect all sorts of Medis Attachment Units (MAUs).
