So you still cannot save the console settings?

There must be something wrong (bad) on the system board.

Ok, I guess I will have to find me a system board and replace it.

Thanks for all your help!!!

I am going to leave this call open until i have replaced the system board, just incase that doesn't take care of the problem.

Wait a minute and let us try something:

From EFI do

Shell> sysmode service
Current System Mode: ADMIN

You are now in SERVICE mode.

and now

Shell> sysset

What do you get?

[Timothy P. Jackson]

Hi Torsten,

this is what I get.....

Shell> sysset
Error: sysset: access denied at current privilege level
Exit status code: Access Denied

Shell>

How do i get the right privilege level.


Thanks,
Tim

I'm sure you are still in ADMIN mode,

Shell> sysmode service

[Timothy P. Jackson]

That did the trick... Here is what I get from the sysset command.

Shell> sysmode service
Current System Mode: ADMIN

You are now in SERVICE mode.

Shell> sysset

All settings are ok ...

[Timothy P. Jackson]

Hi Torsten,

I think i made some progress. I did a "default" command from the EFI Shell. Then I when back into the console output device, console input device and starndard error device, and reconfigured them. After this I did a "cold reset" and the settings seemed to stay the way I set them!

Unfortunately it also removed my boot device, so I figured I would just reinstall the OS.

I am now able to Install using the console on the MP!!!!

Thanks Torsten for sticking with me to get this resolved!


Thanks again!
Tim

Restoring the boot path is not a problem.

You can locate the boot loader from efi and boot, once booted use "setboot" command from hp-ux to set primary and alternate path entry in boot menu.

However, strange thing ...
