INIT C440
INIT C440 normally refers to the fact that is an issue initialising the stable storage console path. Or someone has gone into CM without entering CO to get out of console mode.
Normally CTRl D resolves or replacing the console.
However, can anyone advise if HP US 9000 servers running 10.20 / 11i can be configured so they do not need the console to be active to re boot. My main query is we have 60 plus servers in an office which do not have consoles attached at all and yet re boot no problem.
Can anyone advise ?
Cheers
Paul

Re: INIT C440
Console is not necessary to reboot the m/c.
If you have dual boot in a m/c you can use setboot to change over to another OS

Re: INIT C440
Hi,
Just to confirm then, if a server has a console attached but it is switched off or the console shows CM>. The server will not boot.
But if there is no console attached what so ever, the server will boot up, as it will detect no console attached ?
Thanks
Paul

Paul,
The answer is it depends upon which type of 9000 server you are using. Newer systems, such as N,L,A, will boot whether or not the console is at CM>.
Older systems, such as K class will hold and never boot if at the CM> prompt. On those systems you would have to then type CM>co to get the system to boot. The best way to ensure that your system boots for K class is just to make sure you are not accessing the GSP (not at the CM> prompt). You can leave the console on and it will make no difference. The server will boot fine with no interaction if this is the case.
Regards,
Chris

Re: INIT C440
To fix the problem:
1. Reset system console by turning off console.
2. Hold down the 'D' key and continue to hold the key down while powering on the console, wait 10-15 sec, release key and a message should pop up in lower left hand part of screen 'default configs used press return to clear'
3. Press return and the display on the computer should start to go through the self-tests.

Re: INIT C440
Some technical notes appears that a system console is not mandatory, however we need to warn about such configuration
because this is unsupported .

Re: INIT C440
The old HP9000 systems cannot boot without a console attached to them and there is no workaround for this (sorry).
The error you are getting could be caused by a faulty console. But it also could be caused by console being left in CM mode or by not having the remote option disabled.
Try to change your console configuration to enable remote.
Regards.
Xavier.

Re: INIT C440
I disagree.
I have dozens of K systems that boot w/o a console. You should check the autoboot value.
Run setboot & check value of Autoboot. Must be ON. If not, run
setboot -b on
to set it to on.
Earlier responses are correct in the fact that if the console IS attached & not set or cabled properly, you can get a hang on boot.
So check the Autoboot value & the console setup & one of those should solve your problem.

Jeff

Re: INIT C440
Hi
That is the sort of answer I was after..
All out servers are set via setboot as
# setboot
Primary bootpath : 10/4/4.6.0
Alternate bootpath : 10/4/4.12.0
Autoboot is ON (enabled)
Autosearch is ON (enabled)
So if a K/D class has a console attached it will not boot if there are issues with say the console, cable issue or the console is on CM> mode.
But without a console attached or even the cable hooked into the console port, as long as setboot is set ON the server will boot.
This was my understanding, am I correct ?

Re: INIT C440
Yes sir - that's correct.
Although we here turn autosearch off because we'll frequently turn autoboot off when we WANT to not come completely up. Then we don't have to babysit the box to catch the 10-second warning. IF you leave autosearch ON & turn autoboot OFF the system will still boot because it'll search for a boot device & use it.
Rgds,
Jeff
