D370 CPU Default Paths

[John Eaton]

We are trying to upgrade a D370 1 cpu to a 2 cpu, and found that the console path (and others) on the new board are different.
Without a working console, how can you change/reset the paths stored on the cpu board?
Thanks!

I do not believe that there is any way to do this without a working console. Is there a reason you cannot attach a console/ laptop. Let me know if you need assistance.

Thanks for the reply.
My issue is with the CONSOLE PATH not the console. The console works, but the PATH to it is wrong.
From what I've been finding the only option is to disconnect the terminal, and keyboard, causing the CPU board to default to the serial console port on the next restart, connecting a serial terminal, setting the CONSOLE PATH to the correct value in the BCH, reconnecting the terminal and keyboard, then restarting again.
I'll give this a try.

try setting the switch on the access port card to "service", in this case the console path always switches to default.
