rx8640 Console Hangs

[Marcel Diaconu]

I have an rx8640 with two partitions.
From MP when I try to connect to the console of one partition after I type CO, Ctrl+E cf and then everything hangs.
The console worked yesterday, then it started to display text abnormaly.

I mention that the console of the other partiion is working fine.
On the two partitions is installed HP-UX 11iv3

Please help

Hi,
You could try to refresh by ctrl l or reset the MP with xd R [ restart MP ]

>> it started to display text abnormaly


Can you explain that?


However, if you let's say connect with a HP terminal emulator first and later with something different like xterm or vt100 and continue the session, you will see a strange output because of this.

The console may also display nothing useful, if an application is using the console, e.g. waiting for an input.

Consider to refresh the screen and check if "something" is using the console.

Ctrl l is not working.
Only Ctrl C is workig (it brings me to the next line).

Also I mention that the LAN is not configured yet at OS level. So the only way to configure the machine is using the console (CO) from MP.

Log out and back in to OS console. This should adjust the emulation settings.

I have already tried to log out and log back in. This is not working.
Any ideea ? This seems to be a small problem but I can't configure my server.

HI

Only time I've ever seen this is when the partition was down. Can you telnet into the same partition? Run parstatus?

[Marcel Diaconu]

No, I can't telnet directly to that partition becouse the lan is not configured on the OS on that partition.
Now I am thinking about reboot and reistall the SO on IT, but how should reoot the SO on it if I can't enter the console?
The reset of it will help me?

[Marcel Diaconu]

I mean reset of partition..

What terminal emulator do you use?
