remote console output not displaying

[ITeam]

Hi,
RX6600 HPUX11:23

We have set the console to use VGA port (EFI manager > Boot Config > Console Config > VGA primary and disabled serial connection)

We have configured iLO2 lan access - all works fine; when I telnet on to MP I can run various options - VFP; SL; CM - LC etc all work ok, but when I select CO for console I just see the following:

- - - - - Live Console - - -- - - - - -

and nothing else - my question is: how can I access console output remotely, i.e I can telnet onto the MP lan interface but when I select MP>CO nothing is happening - is this because I have set my console as a VGA device? Would this then mena my console output can only be on a serial device or is there another setting for console output in EFI?

Many thanks in advance!

Exactly.

Only if the setting is serial you can use the MP console.

Hi,

You won't see anything unless you're looking at a monitor hooked up to the VGA port.

You also can't get MP access through your VGA connection, only EFI.

HTH, Paul
