You can attach a variety of pointing devices (such as a mouse or

trackball), or peripheral devices to the RS-232C Serial Input/Output

(SIO) ports on the J282/2240 workstation. Peripheral devices include

printers, plotters, modems, and scanners. Consult the documentation

that accompanies each pointing or peripheral device for specific in-

formation concerning its use.

The SIO ports are programmable. You can set functions such as bit

rate, character length, parity, and stop bits. The SIO Ports are used as

an interface for serial asynchronous devices to the CPU. The ports

operate at up to a 19.2 K baud rate.

Table 1–2 shows the SIO connector pin listings. The serial connectors

are 9-pin D-sub connectors. Signal names are those specified in the

EIA RS-232 standard.

CD-ROM Drive

The CD-ROM drive is a random access read-only mass storage de-

vice that uses removable CD-ROM discs. The drive supports the ISO

9660 and High Sierra format standards. You can access information

from the drive like any other disk drive, except that you cannot write

to the drive. The drive contains a semiconductor laser for reading data

optically, and includes an embedded controller with a SCSI interface.

CD-ROM Media

CD-ROM discs are 120 mm (4.7 in.) in diameter, and use one data

surface with a capacity of 600 megabytes. The data surface contains

pits and flat spots arranged in a continuous spiral track, which is read

at a constant speed. You may access files and data stored on a CD-

ROM disc, but you may not write files or data to a CD-ROM disc.

CD-ROM discs are iden-

tical to audio compact

discs (CDs), except that

they store computer

data.

CAUTION: Handle CD-ROM discs by the edges only. Al-

ways be sure a CD-ROM disc is either in the

CD-ROM drive or its protective case when not

in use. This will lessen the chance of exposing

the disc surface to dust. Over time, dust reduces

the reliability of the read head in the CD-ROM

drive.

Caring for CD-ROM Discs

Observe the following guidelines to help prevent data loss and pro-

long the life of your CD-ROM discs and drive:

•

Use CD-ROM discs in a clean environment to prevent dust par-

ticles from scratching disc surfaces.

Store CD-ROM discs in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture

and heat damage.

Don’t try to clean the surface of a CD-ROM disc with cleaning

solvents, as some cleaning solvents may damage the disc.

NOTICE: You must mount the disc after loading it into

the drive. Refer to the section “Mounting and

Unmounting a CD-ROM Disc,” later in this

chapter, for instructions.

To access information on a CD-ROM disc, you must first mount the

disc. This applies to file system information only. If you wish to load

a music CD, for example, you would not need to mount the disc.

Mounting a disc with file system information on it gives the disc a

pathname that allows your workstation to communicate electronically

with it. You must unmount the CD-ROM disc before removing it

from the drive.

Reading the Busy Light

The CD-ROM busy light shows the status of the drive during the self

test and during activity with the host system.

The CD-ROM drive performs the self test when one of the following

happens:

•

You load a disc and close the Disc Tray.

You turn on the workstation with a disc already loaded in the

CD-ROM drive.

For the self test, the busy light operates in the following sequence:

1. Light On – The busy light goes on when the disc loads into

the drive.

2. Light Flashing – The light flashes six times while a read test

is performed on the disc.

3. Light Off – The light goes off when the self test is com-

plete.

The busy light stays on after the self test when one of the following

conditions exist:

•

A defective disc

A disc insertion error (for example, an upside-down disc)

No disc present

The busy light goes off when one of the following conditions exist:

•

A CD-ROM drive power failure exists.

The drive is idle on the SCSI bus.

The busy light flashes during normal activity with the system.

This section describes basic information needed for using your DDS

tape drive and data cassettes. Depending on your configuration, your

DDS drive may be a DDS-DC drive, or a DDS-2 drive.

DDS Tape Drive

and Data Cassette

Descriptions

NOTICE: In most cases, the information for using these

drives is the same; however, in a few instances

(such as the LED codes), the information dif-

fers for each drive. For the purposes of this dis-

cussion, wherever we refer to simply the

“DDS” drive, that information is for both

drives. Whenever the information differs, we

will specify whether the information refers to

the DDS-DC or the DDS-2 drive.

DDS Drive

Your DDS tape drive is a 3 1/2-inch form factor DDS tape drive with

data compression and a SCSI interface. It conforms to the DDS for-

mat standard for storing computer data, and incorporates a data com-

pression capability. It’s a high-capacity, high transfer-rate device for

data storage on tape.

LEDs – DDS-DC Drive

This section describes the LED codes that are displayed.

LEDs (light emitting

diodes) indicate different

activities or problems

that occur with your

workstation hardware

The front panel has two colored LEDs: the Cassette Light and the

Drive Light. A green light indicates normal operation, and an amber

light indicates a warning condition. Pulsing shows activity between

the drive and the SCSI bus.

If the Cassette Light (left LED) shows steady amber, it means that the

cassette is write-protected. If the Drive Light (right LED) shows

steady amber, this indicates a fault condition. Table 3–1 lists the LED

codes and their meanings.

LED Warning Conditions – DDS-DC Drive

The following sections describe actions to take if the LEDs indicate a

warning condition.

High Humidity

If the LEDs display the high humidity signal, the humidity is too high

and the drive does not perform any operations until the humidity

drops.

Self-Test (Failure)

If the LEDs display the self-test (failure) signal, a fault was diagnosed

during the self tests. Note the pattern of the pulses and contact your

local service representative.

Media Wear (Caution)

Hewlett-Packard DDS drives continually monitor the number of er-

rors they have to correct when reading and writing to a tape to deter-

mine tape wear and tape head cleanliness. If excessive tape wear or

dirty tape heads are suspected, the drive warns you by displaying the

Media Wear (Caution) signal on the LED indicators.

If the LED indicators on your DDS-format drive display the Media

Wear (Caution) condition, follow this procedure:

1. Check the system console for any tape error messages. A hard

error during a read or write operation may have occurred.

2. Clean the heads with a cleaning cassette (HP92283K) as de-

scribed in the “Cleaning the Tape Heads” section, later in this

chapter.

3. Repeat the operation you performed when the Media Wear (Cau-

tion) signal displayed. If the Media Wear (Caution) signal still

displays, then the data cassette should be replaced.

4. If you are performing a backup from disk to tape, discard the

data cassette and back up your files using a new data cassette.

5. If you are performing a restore from tape to disk, complete the

restore, then discard the data cassette and back up the files to a

new data cassette.

LEDs – DDS-2

The front panel has two colored LEDs: the Tape Light and the Clean/

Attention Light. The Tape Light flashes green to show activity (load-

ing, unloading, reading, and writing). Steady green means a cartridge

is loaded.

The Clean/Attention Light flashes amber to indicate head cleaning is

needed or a cartridge is near the end of its life. Steady amber means a

hard fault.

Data Cassettes

Media Life

HP DDS data cassettes are currently specified to 2000 passes over

any part of the tape under optimal environmental conditions (50%

relative humidity, 22 degrees C). During a tape operation, any one

area of the tape may have multiple passes over the heads. This trans-

lates into approximately 200 to 300 backups or restores.

Under certain conditions, the life of your data cassette is less. Replace

your data cassettes after 100 backups or restores if your operating

conditions meet any of the following criteria:

•

The relative humidity in your operating environment is consis-

tently less than 50%.

You know that the backup software you are using makes multi-

ple passes over sections of the tape during backups or restores.

You notice that when you do backups and restores the tape stops

and starts frequently.

Cleaning the Tape Heads

Clean the heads of your tape drive after every 25 hours of tape drive

use or if the Media Wear (Caution) signal is displayed on the LED.

NOTICE: Only use HP Cleaning Cassettes (HP92283K)

to clean the tape heads. Do not use swabs or

other means of cleaning the tape heads.

Follow this procedure to clean the tape heads:

1. Insert the cleaning cassette into the drive. The tape automatically

loads the cassette and cleans the heads. At the end of the clean-

ing cycle, the drive ejects the cassette.

2. Write the current date on the label on the cleaning cassette so

that you know how many times you have used it. Discard the

cleaning cassette after you have used it 25 times.

Media Restrictions

If you interchange media between other HP workstation DDS tape

drives, note that data cassettes with compressed data can only be read

by tape drives that have data compression capabilities. This includes

data cassettes that contain both compressed and noncompressed data.

Setting the Write-Protect Tab on a Data Cassette

You can only store or change information on a data cassette when the

write-protect tab is in the write position. So, before trying to write to

the data cassette, make sure that the write-protect tab is in the write

position, as shown in Figure 3–2.

Device files are special

files that tell your system

which system hardware

pathway to use when

communicating with a

specific device and what

kind of device it is.

Using Device Files

Your system has four default device files for use with your tape drive:

two device files for noncompressed mode and two device files for

compressed mode. If you use these device files, you do not need to

create any device files.

If the SCSI address of your tape drive is not set to the factory default

of SCSI ID 3, you must create a device file, then substitute the path-

name of your device file in the examples that follow. Refer to the Sys-

tem Administration Tasks manual for information on how to create a

device file.

NOTICE: The device file names depend on the naming

conventions of your particular system. See your

Using HP-UX manuals for more information.

Device Files — No Data Compression

Your system has two device files for using your tape drive with data

compression turned off. The device files are named /dev/rmt/3m and

/dev/rmt/3mn, and are set for SCSI ID 3.

If you use the /dev/rmt/3m device file, the tape drive rewinds the

data cassette every time the system releases the drive from its control.

If you use the /dev/rmt/3mn device file, the drive does not rewind

the data cassette. The tape stays where it was after the last operation.

If you use these device files, you do not need to create any device

files.

Determining Available Device Files

Device Files — Data Compression

If you wish to use the data compression feature, use the device files

/dev/rmt/3hc and /dev/rmt/3hcn, which are set for SCSI ID 3.

If you use the /dev/rmt/3hc device file, the tape drive compresses the

data and rewinds the data cassette every time the system releases the

drive from its control.

If you use the /dev/rmt/3hcn device file, the drive compresses the

data, but does not rewind the data cassette. The tape stays where it

was after the last operation.

If you use these device files, you do not need to create any device

files.

The tar (tape file archiv-

er) command saves files

to a data cassette, re-

stores files from a data

cassette, or lists files on

a data cassette.

Archiving Data in Compressed and Noncompressed Mode

This section describes how to transfer data to and from a DDS- for-

mat data cassette (saving and restoring) using the HP-UX tar com-

mand and your tape drive’s device file.

NOTICE: Before using your DDS-format tape drive to

back up your file system, make sure you read

the “Media Interchangeability Restrictions”

section later in this chapter.

The tar (tape file archiver) command allows you to save files to a

data cassette, restore files from a data cassette to your system, or list

files on your data cassette.

Writing to a Data Cassette

Use the following instructions to save files to a data cassette:

1. Check that the write-protect tab on the data cassette is in the

write position.

2. Load the data cassette into the tape drive.

3. In a terminal window, enter the following command line to write

to the tape:

Enter

tar –cvf /dev/rmt/devicefile pathname

where devicefile is one of the device files listed from sam, and

pathname is the pathname of the file or directory containing files

that you want to write to the tape. To use the data compression

mode, use one of the device file names that sam listed as sup-

Media Interchangeability Restrictions

If you interchange media between DDS-format tape drives, the fol-

lowing two restrictions apply to the media:

•

Data cassettes with compressed data can only be read by tape

drives that have data compression capabilities, such as the tape

drive (part number C1504–67201) found in Kit A2275A #AHS.

Full height (5 1/4-in) DDS-format tape drives (models HP

35470A and HP35480A) can get 1.3 GB and can read or write

to 60-meter data cassettes only, if they are not using data com-

pression. With data compression, these drives can get 2 GB and

can read or write to 90-meter cassettes.

Troubleshooting

If you have trouble with any of these procedures for using your DDS

tape drive, see Chapter 6 of this book, “Solving Problems.”

Verifying the Floppy Drive Configuration

The ioscan utility verifies

the configuration of all

drives.

To verify that your workstation can communicate with the floppy

drive, use the ioscan command in a terminal window to see which

devices are currently in use on your system:

1. Enter the following at a command prompt:

Enter

/usr/sbin/ioscan –d sflop

After a few moments the ioscan utility lists all of the SCSI

floppy I/O devices it could find. The list appears similar to the

following:

If you receive this message, go the the section, “Configuring the

Floppy Driver” later in this chapter for information on adding

the scsifloppy driver to the HP-UX kernel configuration.

Using Device Files

Device files are special files that tell your system which pathway to

use through the system hardware when communicating with a specific

device and what kind of device it is.

NOTICE: The device file names depend on the naming

conventions of your particular system. See

“SCSI ID and Device File Information for HP-

UX 10.20 or Later” in Chapter 1 of this book.

If you set the SCSI address of your floppy drive to a value other than

0, you must create a device file for it. Refer to the System Administra-

tion Tasks manual for information on how to create a device file.

To determine what device files are available for use with your floppy

drive, use the following procedure:

1. In a terminal window, enter the following command:

Enter

sam

2. The System Administration Manager window opens. Double–

click on Disks and File Systems–>.

Transferring Data To and From a Floppy Diskette

The tar (tape file archiv-

er) command saves files

to a floppy diskette, re-

stores files from a floppy

diskette, or lists files on

a floppy diskette.

This section describes how to transfer data to and from your floppy

diskette (saving and restoring) using the HP-UX tar command with

your floppy drive’s device file.

Memory

Failures

J Class systems use Memory Page Deallocation, a feature that allows

the system to provide information to the operating system about

memory failures.

HP-UX 10.20 uses Memory Page Deallocation information to map

out the failing memory areas, and continue normal operation. You can

use the command memrpt with the detail switch to obtain informa-

tion about the Memory Page Deallocation Table (PDT) as well as

single bit errors logged by the system.

4. You can determine which SCSI IDs are currently in use by look-

ing under the H/W Path heading. The J2240 lists 8/4/19/0 as the

built-in SCSI bus controller. For devices connected to the built-

in SCSI bus, such as disks, the fourth number is the SCSI ID for

that device. For example, the listing 8/4/19/0.6.0 tells you that

there is a SCSI device (a disk) currently using ID 6 on the SCSI

bus.

NOTICE: Never use SCSI address 7 for any device. Ad-

dress 7 is reserved for the SCSI controller.

This section describes how to add a hard drive to your workstation.

The first part deals with installing a hard drive and the second part

tells you how to configure your hard disk after it is installed.

Adding a

Hard Drive

Your workstation can have two hard drives. The hard drive that came

with your workstation was set to SCSI ID 6. If you are adding a se-

cond hard disk, the second hard disk will use SCSI ID 5. If another

device on your workstation is using SCSI ID 5, change the hard disk’s

SCSI ID to an unused SCSI ID.

NOTICE: Do not use SCSI ID 7 for your hard drive’s

SCSI address. The host SCSI controller uses

SCSI ID 7. If you are adding a second hard

drive, we advise you not to use SCSI ID 6

which is normally reserved for the boot disk

drive.

Check the jumpers on the hard drive you plan to install. Figure B–17

shows the correct SCSI address for the jumpers on your drive. These

jumpers are the only jumpers you may need to change on the drive.

1. Use a pair of small needle-nose pliers to set the SCSI ID

jumpers to SCSI ID 5 if you are adding a second hard drive,

or SCSI ID 6 if this is the first hard drive (you are running

diskless). Check that the other jumpers are set correctly.

2. If you removed the disk drive mounting bracket from the

disk drive, replace it now, making sure not to over-tighten

the screws. Figure B–18 shows the orientation of the drive

in the bracket for both drives and the position of the screws

holding the drive bracket in place.

Be sure the printed circuit side of one drive is facing the

printed circuit side of the other drive.

Installing

Additional

Memory

Take a moment to read over the following important notes about

installing memory:

•

Before trying to install additional memory DIMMs in your

J282/2240 workstation, use the procedure described in

Appendix D, “The Boot Console Interface,” to determine the

current memory configuration for this workstation.

•

Read over the steps involved in installing memory DIMMs

before you begin.

DIMMs must be inserted in the order shown. Refer to

Figure B–24.

•

You must insert DIMMs in pairs of equal size.

Be aware that it is possible to insert the DIMMs backwards into

the connectors. Be sure therefore, that you understand the prop-

er orientation for DIMMs going into the connectors. See

Figure B–25.

•

When you have finished installing additional DIMMs, use the

Boot Console Interface to verify that they are seen by the work-

station.

Perform the following steps to add memory DIMMs to your worksta-

tion. Note the instructions in Step 8 of this section on DIMM configu-

ration before beginning these steps.

1. Open the system unit according to the directions in the “Opening

the System Unit” section earlier in this appendix.

2. Remove the two screws in the center of the CPU Assembly.

3. Release the ejector tabs on the left side, top and bottom of the

CPU Assembly. Refer to Figure B–21.

7. Refer to the Position Guide on the CPU board that states,

“<–– POSITION MEM MODULE AS SHOWN,” as shown in

Figure B–23.

8. Install pairs of DIMMs in the following order: Pair 1 (0A, 0B),

Pair 2 (1A, 1B), Pair 3 (2A, 2B), and so on.

This workstation has 16 memory slots, labeled 0A, 0B through

7A, 7B. Memory DIMMs must be installed in pairs of equal size,

with the largest pairs installed first, followed in order from larg-

est to smallest pairs. Figure B–24 gives the recommended order

for installing pairs of DIMMs.

Any Combination of memory may be used, although, for maxi-

mum performance, we recommend using common-sized memory

DIMMs; for example, either all 128 MB, 256 MB, or 512 MB

DIMM pairs. Therefore, to achieve both maximum performance

This appendix provides information about connecting Small Comput-

er System Interface (SCSI) devices to an HP 9000 J282/2240

workstation.

The instructions in this chapter assume you are using the HP-UX

version 10.20 or later operating system with the HP VUE version 3.0

interface.

NOTICE: When attaching external SCSI devices, be sure

to terminate the last device on the external

SCSI bus. If no external devices are attached,

the SCSI connector on the rear of the system

must be terminated with the terminator that was

shipped with your workstation.

A Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) bus is an IEEE standard

bus for connecting your workstation to internal and external devices

(SCSI devices) running at different speeds, singly or in combination.

Examples of these SCSI devices are floppy disk drives, 4-mm DDS-

format tape drives, CD-ROM drives, and Winchester hard disk drives.

SCSI Bus

Differences

There are three types of SCSI buses available with this workstation –

a narrow, single-ended (NSE) SCSI bus, a fast, wide differential

(FWD) SCSI bus, and an ultra–fast, wide, single–ended (UWSE)

SCSI bus. Table C–1 shows the specification differences between

these SCSI buses, and Table C–2 shows the SCSI addresses, ID num-

bers, and arbitration priorities for each.

CAUTION: Do not mix narrow, single-ended, fast, wide

differential or ultra, wide, single–ended devices

on any one bus type. Doing this will cause a

system failure.

Cables

All SCSI devices ship without cables. Only SCSI cables approved by

HP can be used to connect your workstation and any SCSI devices.

HP offers the following SCSI cables for narrow single-ended SCSI

devices:

•

K2296 cable with 0.9 meter (3 feet) length

K2297 cable with 1.5 meter (5 feet) length

HP offers the following SCSI cables for connecting externally con-

nected devices to the system fast, wide differential port:

vices. Use of other cables can result in signifi-

cant problems with system operation.

Narrow singled-ended SCSI definition limits the total cable length of

SCSI cables to 6 meters (19.6 feet).

Fast, wide differential SCSI definition limits the total cable length of

SCSI cables to 25 meters (82 feet).

Ultra, wide–SE SCSI definition limits the total cable length of SCSI

cables to 3 meters (9.84 feet).

Always use the shortest possible cable(s) for your configuration.

If you are daisy-chaining narrow single-ended SCSI devices together,

use the following cables:

•

92222A cable with 0.5 meter (1.6 feet) length

92222B cable with 1.0 meter (3.2 feet) length

92222C cable with 2.0 meter (6.6 feet) length

Connectors and Terminator

Any narrow, single-ended SCSI device connecting to the system box

must use a 50-pin high-density thumb screw connector on the end

connecting to the system board, and a 50-pin low-density bail lock

connector on the other end. If you attach a second SCSI device, the

cable must have low-density connectors on each end.

Any fast, wide differential or ultra, wide–SE SCSI device connecting

to the system box must use a 68-pin high-density thumb screw con-

nector on both ends.

The last device connected to the SCSI bus must be terminated with a

SCSI terminator. All of the devices listed ship without terminators. If

you do not already have a SCSI terminator, you must order terminator

K2291 (for 50-pin connectors) or C2905A (for 68-pin fast, wide dif-

ferential connectors) or C2972A (for 68-pin ultra, wide–SE connec-

tors) from Hewlett-Packard.

SCSI Configuration Constraints

You are limited to a certain number of same-type SCSI devices per

system. Before adding another SCSI device, determine if the system

can support the additional device.

This workstation offers the following types of SCSI bus, each with its

own configuration constraints:

•

narrow, single-ended SCSI bus

fast-wide, differential SCSI bus (J282 or J2240 upgrade)

Length

Narrow, Single-Ended SCSI Bus Length

Follow these instructions to calculate your total narrow, single-ended

SCSI bus length (including the system unit, external SCSI devices,

and SCSI interconnect cables) using Table C–6:

1. Find all of your external NSE SCSI devices in the first column.

In the third column, write the NSE SCSI bus lengths (from the

second column) that correspond to your devices.

NOTICE: In the third column, the length for the System

Unit is already listed. This number must always

be used for the system unit.

2. In the fourth column, write down the lengths of the NSE SCSI

interconnect cables you are using for your installation. (Cable

lengths are listed in subsection “Cables” in the section on “SCSI

Restrictions.”)

3. Add up all of the numbers in the third column and write that

number on the subtotal line at the bottom of the column. Do the

same for the fourth column.

4. Add the subtotals together and write the total in the Total NSE

SCSI Bus Length box.

NOTICE: The total length of the narrow, single-ended

standard SCSI bus must not exceed 6 meters

(19.6 feet). If the number you write for Total

Fast, Wide Differential SCSI Bus Length

Follow these instructions to calculate your total FWD SCSI bus

length for the FWD SCSI- bus on your system using Table C–7:

1. List all of your internal FWD SCSI devices in the first column.

2. In the second column, write the lengths of the internal FWD

SCSI bus that correspond to your devices.

3. In the third column, write down the lengths of the FWD SCSI

interconnect cables you are using for your installation. (Cable

lengths are listed in subsection “Cables” in the “SCSI Restric-

tions” section.)

4. Add up all of the numbers in the second column and write that

number on the subtotal line at the bottom of the column. Do the

same for the third column.

5. Add the subtotals together and write the total in the Total FWD

SCSI Bus Length box.

NOTICE: The total length of the FWD SCSI bus must not

exceed 25 meters (82 feet). If the number you

write for Total FWD SCSI Bus Length is greater

than 25 meters (82 feet), try configuring your

installation with shorter cables.

If you have problems, call your designated service representative.

4. You can determine which SCSI IDs are currently in use by look-

ing under the H/W Path heading. The J2240 lists 8/4/19/0 as the

built-in SCSI bus controller. For devices connected to the built-

in SCSI bus, such as disks, the fourth number is the SCSI ID for

that device. For example, the listing 8/4/19/0.6.0 tells you that

there is a SCSI device (a disk) currently using ID 6 on the SCSI

bus.

Narrow Single-Ended System SCSI Device IDs

Before assigning a SCSI device ID to your drive, you need to check

your SCSI device IDs. To check what SCSI device IDs are available

and assign an ID to your device, follow these instructions which use

Table C–9:

1. Write in the SCSI device ID of any internal drives in Table C–9.

2. Write in the type of external drives (single-ended standard,

EISA, or fast, wide devices) currently connected to your system

under the heading “External Device Drives” and each drive’s

SCSI device ID under the heading “Device ID Number.”

3. Add your new drive to the table if it is an external device. If it is

an internal drive, continue to Step 4.

NOTICE: The C1700A Magneto-Optical Autochanger

uses three SCSI addresses, and accounts for

three of the seven devices allowed on the SCSI

bus.

4. Check to see which SCSI device IDs are not used. You can use

ID numbers 0 through 6 if they are not already in use. If the de-

fault ID on your drive does not conflict with any existing drive

IDs, use that ID. If your default address conflicts with an exist-

Accessing the Boot Console Interface

To access the boot console interface, follow these steps:

NOTICE: This procedure should be done by a system ad-

ministrator.

1. Close any files and applications on your workstation.

2. Press the power switch on the front panel of the system unit.

NOTICE: There is no need to manually shut down the

HP–UX operating system on your workstation

before powering it off. When you turn off the

power switch, your workstation automatically

shuts down the operating system before termi-

nating the power.

Make sure that you do not unplug the system’s power cord or other-

wise interrupt power to the system unit at this time.

3. When the system has completely shut down, power on your

workstation.

If Autoboot is turned off, the boot sequence automatically stops at the

bootconsole Main Menu.

If Autoboot is turned on, you will see the following messages:

Processor is starting Autoboot process. To

discontinue, press any key within 10 seconds.

If Autoboot and Autosearch are both turned on, you will see the fol-

lowing messages:

Processor is booting from first available de-

vice.To discontinue, press any key within 10

seconds.

NOTICE: If you are using a power–saving monitor, you

will have less than 10 seconds from the time

this message appears to press a key.

4. Press a key. You will then see the message:

Boot terminated

The Main Menu of the boot console appears.

Booting Your Workstation

Usually, you start your workstation by turning it on and waiting for

HP–UX to boot automatically. However, you may not always want

the usual sequence to occur.

For example, you may want to start your workstation from an operat-

ing system that is stored on a device that is different from your usual

boot device. If your normal operating system kernel or the disk on

which it resides becomes damaged or unusable, you may wish to boot

from a different disk or perhaps another type of device, such as a

DDS–format tape drive.

Here are some situations and examples:

•

If you know which device you want to boot from, and you know

that it contains a bootable operating system, follow the direc-

tions in ”Accessing the Boot Console Interface” earlier in this

appendix, and then type the following at the prompt:

Main Menu: Enter command > boot device

where device is the hardware path to the device, specified in Mne-

monic Style Notation.

For example, if you wish to boot an operating system that is stored on

a DDS–format tape in a drive that is located at ‘‘sescsi.1.0’’, follow

the directions in ”Accessing the Boot Console Interface” earlier in

this appendix, and then type the following command at the prompt:

Main Menu: Enter command > boot sescsi.1.0

HP C2490WD

HP HP35480A

Main Menu: Enter command > Boot P1

The operating system on the specified device is used to start your

workstation (also see; Searching for Bootable Media).

•

If you wish to interact with the Initial System Loader (ISL) be-

fore booting your workstation, follow the directions in ”Acces-

sing the Boot Console Interface” earlier in this appendix, and

then type the following at the prompt:

Main Menu: Enter command > boot device

You are prompted:

Interact with ISL (Y,N,Q)>

Answering yes (Y) causes the ISL to be loaded from the specified

device. After a short time, the following prompt appears on your

screen:

ISL>

ISL is the program that actually controls the loading of the operating

system. By interacting with ISL, you can choose to load an alternate

version of the HP–UX operating system. If you do not want ISL to be

loaded, you must enter N.

For example, if the usual kernel (/stand/vmunix) on your root disk

(fwscsi.6.0) has become corrupted, and you wish to boot your

workstation from the backup kernel (/stand/vmunix.prev), type the

following at the ISL> prompt:

If you do not know which media in your file systems have boot-

able operating systems, you can find them with the search IPL

command.

Searching for Bootable Media

To list devices that contain bootable media, follow the directions in

”Accessing the Boot Console Interface” earlier in this appendix, and

then type the following at the prompt:

Main Menu: Enter command > search ipl

The search command searches all buses. The search may turn up

more devices than there are lines on your display. If you are using a

text terminal, you may control the progress of the search from your

terminal’s keyboard by performing the following steps:

•

To hold the display temporarily, press Ctrl S.

To continue the display, press Ctrl Q.

To halt the search, press any other key

These flow–control commands do not work with a bitmapped display,

but such a display can show more than forty lines of text, so you are

unlikely to need them.

To search for devices of just one type that actually contain bootable

media, follow the directions in ”Accessing the Boot Console

Interface” earlier in this appendix, and then type the following at the

prompt:

Main Menu: Enter command > search ipl device_type

where device_type is one of the following:

fwscsi is the built–in fast, wide SCSI bus.

sescsi is the built–in single–ended SCSI bus.

lan is all connections to the built–in LAN.

gscn is an optional fast, wide SCSI interface in slot

number n.

tions in ”Accessing the Boot Console Interface” earlier in this appen-

dix, and then type the following at the prompt to access the Configu-

ration Menu:

Displaying and Setting the Monitor Type

Your system ships from the factory preset to use a monitor with a spe-

cific resolution and frequency. If you replace your workstation’s mon-

itor with a different type of monitor, you must reconfigure your

workstation to support the new monitor.

The Monitor Command

The monitor command lets you change your workstation’s graphics

configuration. This command is available in Configuration Menu of

the boot console interface.

NOTICE: The monitor command lets you change your

workstation’s graphics configuration before you

replace your monitor. For information about

changing the configuration after you replace

your monitor, refer to ”Changing Your Monitor

Type” in Appendix B.

To display the current graphics and console information, enter the

following command;

Main Menu: Enter command > co

Configuration: Enter command > mo

The correct usage for setting the graphics configuration is:

mo graphics_path type

where valid graphics_path parameters are:

Setting the Auto Boot and Auto Search Flags

auto boot and auto search are variables stored in your workstation’s

nonvolatile memory. (Nonvolatile memory retains its contents even

after power is turned off.) If you reset these flags to new value, the

change takes effect the next time you reboot the workstation.

auto boot boots the operating system whenever your workstation is

turned on.

To examine the state of the auto boot and auto search flags, type the

following at the prompt:

Configuration Menu: Enter command > auto

If auto boot is set to on, your workstation automatically attempts to

boot the operating system when turned on. If auto boot is set to off,

your workstation enters the boot administration mode of the boot con-

sole user interface.

The state of the auto search flag determines how your workstation

seeks a boot device during autoboot. If auto search is set to on, your

workstation will search for other boot devices if the primary boot de-

vice is not available. If auto search is off, your workstation will de-

fault to the boot administration mode if it can’t see the primary boot

device.

To change the state of the auto boot or auto search flags, type the

following at the prompt:

Configuration Menu: Enter command > auto boot

state

Configuration Menu: Enter command > auto

search state

where state is on or off.

D-31

Autosearch searches for devices in the following order:

Primary boot path

Alternate boot path

Built–in fast, wide SCSI devices

Built–in single–ended SCSI devices

Built–in LAN bootp servers

NOTICE: Fast wide SCSI adapter option cards installed in

the option slots are not searched unless they are

referenced by the primary or alternate boot

paths. EISA cards are not searched.

Displaying and Setting the Security Mode

The SECure flag is a variable stored in non–volatile memory. (Non–

volitalmemory retains its contents even after power is turned off.) If

you reset this flag to a new value, the change takes effect the next

time you reboot the workstation.

When the SECure flag is set to on, autoboot and autosearch are

enabled and cannot be stopped. The system boots from the default

boot paths regardless of user intervention.

To display the current setting for the SECure flag, enter the follow-

ing command:

secure

To set the SECure flag on or off, enter one of the following:

secure on

secure off

D-33

Displaying and Setting the Fastboot Mode

When fastboot is enabled (set to on), your workstation does a quick

check of the memory and skips I/O interface testing during its power–

on self tests. This enables your workstation to complete its boot pro-

cess quicker. The default factory setting is for fastboot to be enabled

(on).

The fastboot mode allows your workstation to boot quickly by per-

forming a less extensive check of the system’s memory.

When fastboot is disabled (set to off), more extensive memory test-

ing and I/O interface testing is performed during the self tests, caus-

ing the boot process to take longer.

If you are experiencing difficulty in booting your workstation, set

fastboot to off and reboot the system. The more extensive testing

may reveal the error condition.

To display the status of fastboot, type the following at the prompt:

Configuration Menu: Enter command > fastboot

To disable fastboot, type the following at the prompt:

Configuration Menu: Enter command > fastboot off

To enable fastboot, type the following at the prompt:

Configuration Menu: Enter command > fastboot on

Displaying the LAN Station Address

It is sometimes necessary to supply a LAN station address of your

workstation to other users. For example, if your workstation is to be-

come a member of a cluster, the cluster administrator needs to know

your LAN station address in order to add your workstation to the

cluster.

A LAN station address of your workstation is the label that uniquely

identifies the LAN connection for your workstation at the link level

(the hardware level).

To display your workstation’s LAN station addresses, type the follow-

ing at the prompt:

Information Menu: Enter command > lanaddress

The LAN station address is displayed as a twelve–digit number in

hexadecimal notation, similar to the following:

LAN Station Addresses:

080009–789abc

The address is for the system’s built–in LAN.

Configure and Display LAN Settings (J2240 Only)

The LanConfig command configures and displays the current LAN

settings. The hardware system supports 10Base–T, 100Base–T and

AUI standards.

transfer operation (full or half duplex), operating in compliance with

IEEE 802.3u, (this is the default and recommended setting) type the

following at the prompt:

Configuration Menu: Enter command > LanConfig AUTO
