x-server
I have a GS160 that is not responding at all from the console We can telnet into it fine though.
We need to shutdown the server to carry out an upgrade, but the customer will not let us shutdown unless he is sure he will be able to start it from the console. I suspsect the console parameter might be set to graphics, so I am wondering: Is there anyway to change the console from graphics to serial from within OpenVMS? (Like consvar in tru64). Also, I wonder if stopping the x-server will enable it to display the login prompt. Does anyone know how to do this? After it is stopped, does anyone know how I can start it again?
Thanks
Bona

Re: x-server
Stopping the X-server:
$ STOP/ID=
This may return to the $-prompt if DECWindows were running on OPA0.
Starting the X-Server:
$ @Sys$startup:DECW$STARTUP

Re: x-server
I suspect your customer will use server while you are upgrading software :-O
Change of console require shutdown of vms (no only decwindows).
Here you can find a old thread about decwindows sound like your trouble

Re: x-server
if I remember correctly the GS160s came with a (crippled) version of Consoleworks from TECSys. What exactly are you trying to use as the "console" for your 160? Also you might want to
get in touch with TECSys to upgrade your Consoleworks version. I think they do have a free upgrade to the full Consoleworks product on offer right now for GS160 customers.
Their Website is www.tditx.com
