Problem with terminal emulation

[Ramones]

Hi everyone

I need help.
I made a make_recovery from a vpar an now I am trying to clone that machine on another one (also a vpar).
Both machines have the same version of vpar ( A.03.03.06) and ignite-ux (C.6.7.79).
Then I start the instalation with vparboot -p [vpar_name] -I /opt/ignite/boot/Rel_B.11.11/WINSTALL from another vpar on the same npar and I am getting this error on the console:

NOTE:
The console firmware terminal type is currently set to "hp". If you
are using any other type of terminal you will see "garbage" on the
screen following this message.
If this is the case, you will need to either change the terminal type
set in the firmware via GSP (if your GSP firmware version supports
this feature), or change your terminal emulation to match the
firmware. In either case you will need to restart if your terminal and
the firmware terminal type do not match.
Press the 'b' key if you want to reboot now.

What must I do to configure the terminal properly?

What server model and what terminal emulator you are using?

[Ramones]

Model: 9000/800/rp8420
Term Emulator: Putty

Some points:

- your vPar version is already unsupported
- your Ignite version is old too

An update may already solve your issues

- your command line should be

(see manual)

# vparboot -p -I ,/opt/ignite/boot/Rel_B.11.11/WINSTALL

Hi,

In PuTTY under Category-->Terminal-->Keyboard
on right hand side "The Function Keys and Keypad"
set VT100+

and save it
then check

By the way, I found in manual:

"Setting the GSP Terminal Type

Note: this section applies only to the rp5470/L3000 and rp7400/N4000 servers. You can skip this section
for nPartitionable servers."

So this does not apply to your system - it is just a general warning.

Hi Torsten
I can't upgrade vpar now as you can imagine (can make reboot to production systems) ...I can try upgrade ignite (and that will be my next try...). About the command I'm not using an ignite server but a dds tape.

Hi Suraj
I've tried what you suggested, no luck!

I am now making a new make_recovery to a brand.new tape (because of this message on the error: "Default (boot) source does not appear to be a valid (or complete)install source, switching source to Network". After this I will upgrade Ignite on both machines.
Really...I don't know what else to do, I made this several times before and never saw this error...

Thanks,

Hi all

Accessing console through IE solved the problem. Go figure.


Thanks

Please refer to the manual how to restore from tape! The procedure is different.

Use "make_tape_recovery" for backup on tape, "make_net_recovery" to backup on server!
