Re: Securing the console port on an ES47
The concept of securing the console port was so that any future similar incidences would not cause the servers to drop down to the SRM prompt...this issues has nothing to do with the who can or cannot gain acess to the port.

Re: Securing the console port on an ES47
BTW, if you have no physical console connected, how can HP say it's line noise on the console port? Solar flares? :-)
Cheers,

Re: Securing the console port on an ES47
re: unexplainable crashes
The only type of system crashes, which could be explained by 'noise on the console line', would be CPUSANITY or CPUSPINWAIT crashes. This should be visible in the CLUE CONFIG data and the state of the CPUs. I've never heard something like this before, it seems a bit far-fetched ...

Re: Securing the console port on an ES47
This whole business has proved to be very strange on a number of fronts.
Just to add some complexity to the issue, this problem has cropped up on all eight ES47s spread across two sites spanning a 12 month period.
It has affected both production servers and boxes that would have had absolutely no activity taking place.
I am due to speak with someone from HP in the next 5 minutes and I will mention the points you raised previously.

Re: Securing the console port on an ES47
On some occasions, we would connect to MBM but could not get a response from the server in question. We had no option but to issue a power off and power on command and that overrides the console setting of HALT and rebooted the box.

Re: Securing the console port on an ES47
IF you aren't getting to the VMS backline then speak with your local field engineering manager. They can open an escalation and have the REAL big guns engaged, but there are tons of processes involved with an escalation and it can be cumbersome. Start with a polite but very FIRM insistance that you need the VMS backline. There are other steps that can be taken if you're not being taken seriously but that can get real ugly.

Re: Securing the console port on an ES47
if your systems are set up correctly, $ TYPE CLUE$HISTORY should show the crash history (1 line per crash). If you can make this information available in an attached .TXT file, I'll have a look at the types of crashes and might be able to give further advice.
For each crash, there should also be a CLUE$COLLECT:CLUE$node_ddmmyy_hhmm.LIS file, which contains the most important footprint data for each crash. Feel free to mail those files to me.
