Use a text editor to add the following line to the /etc/securetty file (if this line is not
already in the file):
ttyS0
4.
Save your changes and exit the text editor.
5.
Use a text editor to add console=ttyS0 to the default entry in the /boot/grub/menu.lst
file (if this entry is not already in the file).
NOTES:
•
The /boot/grub/menu.lst file might be a symbolic link to the /boot/grub/
grub.conf
file.
•
The entries differ depending whether the managed system is a
or not.
For managed systems that are not virtual hosts:
Look for the default= attribute and add console=ttyS0 to the default entry. For example:
default=3
# This entry (no. 3) added by ProLiant HBA install script
# in package cpq_cciss-2.6.16-5.rhel4
title HP-2.6.9-42.ELsmp
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-42.ELsmp ro root= \

/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb \
quiet clock=pmtmr pci=nommconf console=ttyS0
2
initrd /HP-initrd-2.6.9-42.ELsmp.img

The backslash (\) in this example indicates line continuation. Do not enter a backslash
character in your file.
2
Add console=ttyS0 here. Make sure you enter the number zero, not the letter O.
For managed systems that are virtual hosts:
Look for the default= attribute, add com1=115200,8n1 to the kernel entry for HP
BladeSystems, and add console=ttyS0 to the module entry. For example:
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
