rx5670

[Jon Steele]

I am trying to get to the main menu so I can try and load os.I changed the emulation to hpterm on the core I/O and I have it on hp on my console.When it gets to the efi menu it is all over my screen.This model is new to me and I was wondering if I am missing something.Any help in getting this setup is appreciated.

Thank you

Jon

I suspect that EFI is presuming a vt100-like terminal rather than an HP-like terminal. So, run something like xterm or dtterm instead of hpterm.

While the rx5670 is (IIRC) no longer on the CPL, I would hope the manuals are still there on docs.hp.com.

(BTW, the rx5670 is an "Integrity" server not an HP 9000 :)

Hi,

I guess you tried setting the terminal type as "hpterm" through MP > CA and set the the terminal connected at MP serial port to "hpterm". This will work good till you are using MP Interface, but it won't work in EFI Interface ( MP > CO ) as expected.

The EFI doesn't support "hpterm". It supports "PcAnsi" "Vt100" "Vt100+" "VtUtf8" terminal emulations. One can select the appropriate emulation for console output device through EFI "boot option maintenance menu".

Hence it is required to set the terminal type/emulation to "vt100" through MP > CA if you are using (or moving from MP to EFI) a comman terminal for both.
If you choose MP serial port as console, then HP recommends you choose a Vt100+ capable terminal device. Saying that, set "vt100" in MP and use "vt100+" capable terminal or terminal emulation software to work both MP and EFI interfaces correctly.

Dear Jon,

only VT100 is supported emulation in EFI.

All other emulations dosent dislplay properly-even using eny 3rd party tools.
