Re: Itanium Familiarization Cookbook?
I use PuTTY to Telnet into the MP and choose the CO(nsole) mode. You should have 7 seconds by default to see the EFI Shell menu as an option before HP-UX boots. Select what you want.
I'm a novice here too since I have just started to "play" with an rx2660. I didn't find this entirely intuitive, either.

Re: Itanium Familiarization Cookbook?
EFI is pretty much hidden at the same place you used to run the sea command.
Its an option just like hpux.
This doc says how to get to the EFI menu.

Re: Itanium Familiarization Cookbook?
Maybe we're making this too complex...
Should be same as with PA-RISC:
CTRL-B
Followed by
CO
which takes you to the OS console - which in the case of Integrity before you boot is EFI!

Re: Itanium Familiarization Cookbook?
HP-UX Primary Boot 0/4/1/0
DVD
EFI Shell [Built-in]
Boot Configuration
System Configuration
Security Configuration
Use /\ and \/ to change options. Use Enter to select and option.
There may be more, but I can't tell what's the menu and what's the control characters for the menu.
What do I do from here?

Re: Itanium Familiarization Cookbook?
> What do I do from here?
I use PuTTY (with a vt100+ setting) and TELNET to the ILO address. If your server is new, there should be a tag with the MAC address of the MP (something like "MP0017..." where that's the default DNS name and an IP address has been assigned with DHCP (by default). I assume that everything is connected to your network.
Using PuTTY as you standardly would for ssh/telnet connections makes this real easy.

Re: Itanium Familiarization Cookbook?
manual is here:
http://docs.hp.com/en/1064/c1099a_terminal_um.pdf
I haven't configured one of those in *years* though - seem to remember much mucking around with function keys...
honestly I think you'd be better to get a laptop and a crossover cable and just go straight into the iLO port (first time you'll have to use the arp ping method described here until you've assigned an IP address). At least then you can just use PuTTY or smilar which should "just work" rather than messing around with that old serial console.

Re: Itanium Familiarization Cookbook?
> I have to select the proper console type. My "Installation and Update Guide" says to use the EFI menus to select "Boot option maintenance" from the main "Boot Manager Menu".
The menu I think I'm seeing (described above) doesn't say anything about "Boot option maintenance" or "Boot Manager Menu". It also tells me to use keys that I don't have to change options so how do I even select one of the limited options listed?

Re: Itanium Familiarization Cookbook?
A serial console can be used to configure the ilo card.
Then you are happening.

Re: Itanium Familiarization Cookbook?
if you use putty (even with serial connection) you will see the lines highlighted!
HP-UX Primary Boot 0/4/1/0
DVD
EFI Shell [Built-in]
Boot Configuration
System Configuration
Security Configuration
The first entry will boot hp-ux, this path points to the internal SAS controller, e.g.
escsi_ctlr 0 0/4/1/0 sasd CLAIMED INTERFACE HP PC
I/PCI-X SAS MPT Adapter
/dev/sasd0
Once you select the built-in efi shell, you will see the scan followed by the efi prompt.
Some things to play with:
Shell> conconfig
Shell> info all
Shell> bcfg boot dump -v
Shell> map
if you see a "fs0" entry there, go to:
Shell> fs0:
Now go to the loader directory:
fs0:\EFI\HPUX> ls
Directory of: fs0:\EFI\HPUX

Now try to go into single user mode!

More questions? Have fun!
Hope this helps!
