(Hewlett-Packard offers additional manuals that describe how to set up and
manage networking and other services. For more information, see the
Hewlett-Packard documentation web site at http://www.docs.hp.com.)
Continuum Configuration Tasks
In addition to the standard configuration and management tasks, consider the
following issues when administering a Continuum system:
■ Configure, if necessary, the system console port. The console will not work
properly unless the appropriate port is correctly configured. See Chapter 3,
“Configuring Serial Ports for Terminals and Modems,” in HP-UX Operating
System: Peripherals Configuration (R1001H) for the procedure to configure the
console controller ports.
■ Configure, if necessary, the Remote Service Network (RSN). If it was not
configured properly during installation (and you have a service contract), see
Chapter 6, “Remote Service Network.”
■ Configure, if necessary, the autoboot value. At power-up (and some other
reboot scenarios), the system reads the path partition of the console controller
to locate the boot device and determine whether to autoboot. If the path
partition is not set or specifies a nonbootable device, you must do a manual
boot. The path partition is burned as part of the installation process, but if this
burn fails or if you need to specify a different boot device after installation, you
must manually burn the path partition. For information about burning the
path partition, see “Manually Booting Your System” in Chapter 3, “Starting
and Stopping the System.”
