Changing from Serial to Graphics console...

[Eric Bakken]

I've been trying to get the output that is coming out of my serial 1 port to display on my graphics monitor but i cant get it.

C3600 workstation
HP-UX 11.11
Graphics(2) is what it says it's set to...
lcd on front still says console is set to ser_1

Every time the system doesn't boot up to the cde I have to connect it to my pc and use hyperterminal in order to try to fix whatever is wrong with it.

Thanks,

-Eric

what exactly you are trying to do??

i have a graphics monitor that i plug into a vga port... the only thing that displays on it is my cde login and session... other than that, all the boot process and single user mode and stuff i cant get to. Im trying to get the boot process and other non-cde functions to display on my graphics monitor.

so far, i've been able to access these through my pc with a null modem cable through the serial ports but this is a great hassle.

I am not sure if this can be done or not. The messages that appear on console may be redirected to vga cnsole. This would require modifying the /etc/syslog.conf.

But complete redirection looks is not possible. man page of termio talks about it.

man 7 termio for details.
