cold installing hp-ux 11
hi all,
I have a remarketed A400 as a development box, which I recieved yesterday. the only problem with it is that I cannot configure it. (ip address, host name etc).
My solution was to re-install the core OS ie cold installing. Only I have bumped into another problem.
The system cannot seam to find a bootable path (I need it to be the cdrom).
ie when I type search or sea I get a response that says session terminated. ( In the main menu)
Has anyone experienced this? Can anyone tell me a way around this?
Thanks
Maria

Re: cold installing hp-ux 11
Hi,
I've not seen this particular problem, however
Is the system still bootable despite not being
able to do an 'SEA' ?
If the system still is bootable try to do an
ioscan as below, to find the hardware path of
your CDROM (DVD-ROM) or
I have four 'A' series server here and the
hardware address for all of these for the CDROM is:
You could try and boot from this address. If they
are anything like the 'D' class this should work.
$ /usr/sbin/ioscan -funC disk
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
======================================================================
disk 0 0/0/1/0.1.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP DVD-ROM 305
/dev/dsk/c0t1d0 /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0
disk 1 0/0/1/1.15.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE SEAGATE ST318404LC
/dev/dsk/c1t15d0 /dev/rdsk/c1t15d0
disk 2 0/0/2/1.15.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE SEAGATE ST318404LC
/dev/dsk/c3t15d0 /dev/rdsk/c3t15d0

Re: cold installing hp-ux 11
When you interrupt the boot sequence on the A400 you should see the prompt:
Main Menu: Enter command or menu >
At the prompt enter:
sea ipl
You should see output like:
Searching for device(s) with bootable media
This may take several minutes.
To discontinue search, press any key (termination may not be immediate).
Path# Device Path (dec) Device Path (mnem) Device Type and Utilities
----- ----------------- ------------------ -------------------------
P0 0/0/1/0.3 extscsia.3 Sequential access media
IPL
P1 0/0/1/1.15 intscsia.15 Random access media
IPL
P2 0/0/2/1.15 intscsib.15 Random access media
IPL
==============
This searches for devices that have a boot area on them. The "session terminated" message is a little puzzling since BCH (aka Boot ROM) doesn't do session management. Were you at the GSP> prompt or running the OS?
The "sea" or "search" command only exists in BCH not GSP or in HP-UX.

At the prompt enter:
sea ipl

If you can still boot the old system, the
set_parms commands will allow you to change the IP and setup networking information.
