I am running HP-UX 11.31 and I have a gray "M" cable. Does any one know if this is the correct cable or doesn't it matter. I see a lot of places in the forums where some one specifically states the "black" "M" cable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Tim

SolutionThe black cable has part# A6144-63001 or A6144-63007
Anyway, EFI output should go to MP console, VGA and built-in com port at the same time, the OS will only use the configured onsole (which could be VGA or built-in serial port too).
Try another port to check the settings.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: rx2600 MP cable
you need the black cable, thats the one for the rx's with the A6144 part number.
that aside the only difference is the remote connection is wired differently, so if your using the lcal console port then you should be fine anyway
it could be more of a problem with the terminal you are using? not been recognised/set properly.

Re: rx2600 MP cable
I have a black "M" cable on order. I find it odd that even though I change the EFI to something else, when ever I reboot it goes back to its original setting. It sees the MP, and set the EFI for 3 different consoles.
I wonder if reinstalling the OS would do any good?
Any Thoughts?
Thanks,
Tim

Re: rx2600 MP cable
Please post something like a screenshot from the configure console device screen.
Make sure you configure input and output device the same.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: rx2600 MP cable
Here is what the "console output device" screen looks like in the beginning.
EFI Boot Maintenance Manager ver 1.10 [14.61]

Now know that you cannot have more than one on a rx2600 here is what it looks like after I have reconfigured it.

Acpi(HWP0002,700)/Pci(2|0)
Save Settings to NVRAM
Exit
I have also gone through the "Console Input Device" and the Standard Error Device" and made the same changes. So now if I look at the "Console Output Device" and I arrow down to the selected device it shows

Save Settings to NVRAM
Exit
Active Input Device. Active Output Device. Active Standard Error Device.
Notice that the bottom of the screen show "Active Input Device. Active Output Device. Active Standard Error Device."
According to the Administrators Guide and the Forums I have read, you need to reset the system in order for the changes to take affect. so I do a "cold reset" from the EFI menu. When it comes back up to the EFI menu, and I look at the "Console Output Device" this is what it looks like.

It has reverted back to where it is showing three different consoles.
Am I totally missing something?
Thanks,
Tim

The last part (VT100+) is only the emulation setting.
Make sure to have only one entry with a "*" and use the "save settings"!
Hope this helps!
