I've got our group's first Itanium 2 system (a new toy!) and I've just finished installing HP-UX 11i v1.6 upon it.
I figured out all the fun that can be had with consoles and boot devices (use the fan cable console, even if you see the other port labeled console and/or you have a keyboard/mouse/monitor connected to the system
I also read another posting which said to get HP-UX to boot up where the startup and shutdown messages go to the monitor rather than console, to run "hpux -vga" at the HPUX> prompt at boot time. Great! And I don't have to run that pesky X now :)
Is there any way to make this choice permanent (so I don't have to manually type hpux -vga every time I reboot the system)? (Would need to be able to switch back to console mode if I needed to...)
Thanks!
Peter

Re: Set console to VGA on HP-UX running on Itanium 2 (rx2600)
if i understand well your question, you have simply to put the correct strings in the lif, like
mkboot -a "hpux -vga -lq (;0)/stand/vmunix" /dev/dsk/cXtYdZ.
You can check it with
"lifcp /dev/dsk/cXtYdZ:AUTO -"
If this answer your question, remember to change the LIF string also on your mirror boot disk.
HTH,
Massimo

SolutionThe mkboot -e mode writes the efi files from /usr/lib/efi, including the autoboot file from /usr/lib/efi/EFI/HPUX/AUTO .
