We rebooted 19 days ago and if I connect to it now, the above listing is all that I see.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Re: rx2600 LAN Console problems
How are you connected to the console (serial terminal, LAN console, KVM)?
What happens when you press the Enter/Return key?
What happens when you type CTRL-B?
If CTRL-B works OK, then it would appear that the console for HP-UX is hung. Can you connect to HP-UX with ssh, remsh or telnet? If so, what does: fuser /dev/console show?

Re: rx2600 LAN Console problems
The console can be set to different devices (e.g. serial, VGA, etc.)
I don't recall exactly where you set this, I think under the console config of the boot config menu.

Re: rx2600 LAN Console problems
I connect via LAN console (i.e. ssh to LAN Console IP) and choose CO at MP Main Menu. Enter/Return does nothing.
CTRL-B returns to MP Main Menu.
fuser /dev/console shows process for:
/usr/sbin/rpc.lockd
/usr/sbin/syslogd -D
/usr/sbin/netfmt -C -F -f /var/adm/nettl.LOG000 -c /var/adm/conslog.opts
/usr/sbin/rpc.statd
/usr/sbin/getty console console
@Bill Constigan:
Yes the system is up. I know that I messed with the EFI settings when I first noticed the problem and I'm pretty sure I set it to VGA. Is there anyway to check the settings WITHOUT rebooting?

Re: rx2600 LAN Console problems
I say therein:
"The bottom line is that I shouldn't have had the
UARTs (serial ports) enabled for it to act like
it does on the PARisc servers and HPUX.
"
But, unfortunately, I'm having trouble understanding exactly what I wrote !?!
But maybe something therein will give you a clue, like the discussion UARTs, PCI, etc.
I do know that I had to reboot each time to make a change.
Also, in the
HP-UX Installation and Update Guide
there is a section,
"Selecting Your HP-UX Console for Integrity Systems"
but doesn't appear to help much.

Re: rx2600 LAN Console problems
However, if I make a separate (second) connection with SSH, then when I press Enter/Return, I get
[Read only - use Ctrl-Ecf for console write access.]
And when I use Ctrl-Ecf, I get
[bumped user - Admin]
but then nothing else works or is displayed on either connection (except Enter/Return and Ctrl-Ecf to bump back and forth between connections).
If I disconnect from one of the connections, then Ctrl-Ecf no longer works on the remaining connection.

Re: rx2600 LAN Console problems
Cntl-E,c,f will bump another connection. so if you are the second conection you can use it to bump the first. If there is only one connection - there is nothing to bump.
I believe the isssue is that you are connecting to the console but the the HPUX messages are not going to the console because of the console conf in the EFI.
According to some notes I have there are three confs. Consle Output, Console Input and Standard Error Devices
I also read that all three should have a single device selected - It should be the one with the names PCI, Uart and the prefered emulation (e.g. vt100) in the description.

Re: rx2600 LAN Console problems
HPUX is using a console device other than the serial port on the MP. Boot to the EFI Shell and use the conconfig command to change your primary console. There should only be 2-3 choices, so if it's not obvious which one is the MP serial port just try each until you get it.
