/V is entered, which tells the driver to pass the next character and skip the remap check.
Alternatively, you can set up your terminal emulator so that the Backspace key deletes the last
character typed. However, for the key to work properly on OpenVMS, you must still enter the
SET TERMINAL command described earlier.
B.2 Selecting Your OpenVMS Console for the Integrity servers System
You must set up the firmware console as described in the hardware or firmware documentation
provided with your Integrity servers. When first powered on, Integrity servers interact with the
firmware interface and accept input from one or more console devices. These devices include
the Integrity iLO MP (or simply MP on some servers; for simplicity, this section refers to MP for
both firmware interfaces), serial ports, and if present, local graphics monitor and keyboard. The
default console devices enabled for use by the firmware depend on the Integrity server hardware
model and associated firmware (see your hardware documentation). The MP port is typically
used by the OpenVMS operating system on Integrity servers (recommended by HP). This port
provides serial access as well as networked access to the firmware console. If using the serial
port, use a VT100–capable terminal or emulator device. On Integrity servers that do not have an
MP port, the console serial port (generally on the back of the server) is enabled.
With the exception of some older Integrity server models, such as the HP Integrity rx2600 server,
the current firmware available for Integrity servers provides a text menu-based interface by
default. The current firmware also includes the concept of console interfaces that are
“Primary,”“Secondary,”and “Not Configured.” The Primary console is the console enabled for
interacting with the operating system as well as with the firmware. Although the firmware can
interact with multiple console devices, OpenVMS uses only one of these devices as its console
and requires that one device be selected. You select one device to serve as the Primary console,
as explained in
where more details are also given about the Primary,
Secondary, and Not Configured console selections.
When an Integrity server is powered up, the firmware displays information to the Primary and
Secondary console devices. If you do not see output within a few seconds of powering up, your
console device is probably not selected as a Primary or Secondary device; you will need to connect
your console terminal cable to the appropriate device. When connected to the correct device, the
firmware displays the EFI Boot Manager screen, from where you can begin to navigate to select
the Primary console for use by OpenVMS, as explained later in this section. When using the
firmware to boot OpenVMS, if you do not see OpenVMS console output and the system appears
hung, your console terminal device might be connected to a Secondary console device instead
of the Primary console device.
If you are already using the system console, you can disregard the remainder of this section. If
you have ordered a machine with OpenVMS preinstalled, your console selections have been
chosen for you, but you might want to change these default console selections. If you have
changed your system configuration, or if you are installing OpenVMS on new (uninstalled)
Integrity servers, or if you are reinstalling OpenVMS using the INITIALIZE option (removing
all the software and data files that were previously installed on the target system disk), you might
need to select the correct console. If the correct console is not selected, OpenVMS might use an
unexpected device as the console, causing your system to appear to be hanging; or OpenVMS
either will fail to boot or will boot with output sent to the wrong location.
You can use MP to establish remote console access, such as through the TELNET utility provided
with HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS. Alternatively, you can access the MP console interface
through the Internet using an Internet browser.If you intend to set up LAN or remote access for
an MP console interface, you must initially use the serial port for console operations when you
set up the Integrity servers for the first time. (See your hardware documentation for instructions
on setting LAN or remote access for the MP console interface.)
