1 1 Product Description Your HP Apollo 9000 Model 425s and 425t Computer The HP Apollo 9000 Series 400 is a family of high performance graphics workstations based on the Motorola MC68030 and MC68040 processors. Full object-code compatibility is maintained with most earlier Series 300 and 400 computers. Most 400x systems may be upgraded to 425x systems. Both the 425t and the 425s use the 25 MHz MC68040 processor with a built-in oating point coprocessor. Figure 1-1.
1 Much of the functionality for the Series 425 computers is contained on a single system board. Most of the interface controllers, CPU circuits, memory controller and graphics/video circuits are on this system board. Each mass storage device has its controller circuits on a PC board that is part of the device. The 425s also provides slots for additional graphics and I/O interface boards. Information on the Model 433 is also covered in this Owner's Guide.
1 9-pin RS-232 serial I/O port, expandable to 3 interfaces 25-pin HP Parallel port (CentronicsTM) Self-terminating SCSI Type 2 port (external terminator not required when cable is removed) HP-HIL port Ethernet IEEE 802.3 ThinMAU and AUI LAN ports HP-IB port Two 32 bit DIO-II Graphics Board slots (425s only) Up to two mass storage devices, selected from the following: Model 425t 210 Mbyte hard disk drive 420 Mbyte hard disk drive Model 425s Full Height devices 660 Mbyte hard disk drive 1.
1 Memory User-installable RAM boards provide the 425 with RAM in increments of 8, 16 and 32 Mbyte blocks. They have an Error Checking and Correcting (ECC) ability. Standard RAM is 8 Mbytes, expandable to 64 Mbytes for the 425t and 16 Mbytes expandable to 128 Mbytes for the 425s. RAM boards are used in pairs. There are eight sockets on the system board for four board pairs. RAM Upgrades are available as follows: two 4 Mbyte boards that add an 8 Mbyte block of memory.

1 SCSI Interface The SCSI interface uses a high-density, shielded external connector for use with external mass storage devices. Internally, a ribbon cable connects to the optional mass storage devices. If no SCSI devices are attached, the 425s does not require a terminator (it is internally terminated). A terminator is included with all 425t systems. RS-323 Serial Interface A single 9-pin RS-232 serial interface port is provided.
1 LAN Interfaces A standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN) is available to two ports: ThinMAU uses the BNC connector. An internal attachment unit interface is used. AUI LAN uses the 15-pin connector. An external attachment unit interface is required for use on the network. Either port is activated by the system board's LAN jumper position. Some LAN interface values can be con gured by keyboard entry under Boot ROM control in Con guration Mode.
1 Half-height devices are: CD ROM Disk Drive Operating Systems HP-UX and Domain/OS are both supported on the Model 425s/t. HP-UX 8.0 o ers Instant Ignition which pre-loads the operating system and HP VUE on the internal hard disk drive. This allows users to start using their workstations immediately after hardware installation. Table 1-2 lists the HP-UX operating systems and languages available for the Model 425s/t computer. Table 1-2.

3 Starting Your System for the First Time Chapter Contents Using Instant Ignition Starting Up with HP VUE Logging In Logging Out Setting Up a User Account Shutting Down This chapter gives information on using your system for the rst time, with HP VUE. See Chapter 5 for information on starting your system without HP VUE.
Using Instant Ignition 3 If you have already loaded your system and you have the VUE windows on your screen, go on to the next section. If your system has HP-UX preloaded on its disk (this is indicated by a label over the power switch on your 425s/t), HP-UX will automatically load itself when you rst turn the power on. During this installation process, you will be asked for several pieces of information needed to con gure your system appropriately: The time zone where your computer is located.
3 Figure 3-1. Model 425s/t Power Switches (arrows) 1. Turn on the power for your computer and display. 2. Enter the information when your system display requests it. If you do not have the system name, network i.d., and time zone information when you are prompted for it, you can use the default values now and enter this information at another time.
Logging In with HP VUE 3 Once HP-UX is running on your system, you must log in. If you are accustomed to working on single-user personal computers, this may strike you as odd, especially if you are the only user of your machine. However, the process of logging in is one of the ways that HP-UX prevents unauthorized persons from using your system. This is especially important if your system is attached to a network.
1 After your computer has booted HP-UX, the login screen shown below appears. This means your hardware installation was successful and HP-UX has booted. Your HP VUE has also loaded and started. If this screen does not appear, see Chapter 10, or contact your designated service representative.
2 You must rst login as root. To login as root, type: root 4Return5 (The 4Return5 key is labeled 4Enter5 on some keyboards.) 3 d a c b To correct an entry, use the 4Backspace5, 4Insert5, 4Delete char5, and arrow keys ( 7, 6) to edit the box. Or start the login over by clicking on Clear . NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN If you have given your workstation a hostname other than unknown, skip to step 4. Otherwise, go on to step 3.

Selecting a Password After you have set up a user account and password, you may want to change passwords at a later time for security reasons. Choose your new password according to these rules: The password must contain at least six characters (only the rst eight characters are signi cant to the computer). At least two characters must be letters (uppercase or lowercase). At least one character must be either of the following: Numeric (the digits 0 through 9).
Running the passwd Command When you've chosen your new password, set it by running passwd: $ passwd After you've entered the passwd command, the program leads you through these steps: 1. If you haven't already set a password, skip this step. If you have set a password, passwd prompts you to enter it. Changing password for leslie Your username appears here. Old password: Enter your current password. 5 2. When you see the following prompt, enter your new password. (The screen will not echo what you type.
Logging Out without VUE With command lines, you can either use the screen-locking feature for temporarily leaving your workstation (and leave processes running), or you can log out of your current work session entirely. Exiting Temporarily If you want to leave your workstation for a short time without logging out, you can use the lock command.
Shutting Down Without HP VUE Caution Turning o the power for your computer without rst doing the shutdown procedure may result in damage to data on your disk. Always execute shutdown to completion rst. To shut down using the command line: 1. Log in as root 2. Enter the following: shutdown -h 5 The -h option will cause the system to halt. You or anyone networked to your system will have a grace period of one minute to stop processes and save work before the system halts. You can then turn o the power.

The Command Line Prompt When you are working within a window, or with the No Windows option of HP VUE, whenever you see the command line prompt, you can begin typing commands. If you are logged in as user (as opposed to root ) , the command line prompt is either $ or %, depending on your shell. HP-UX displays the prompt every time it nishes processing the information entered on the command line. Running Commands To run a command, type the command's name after the prompt and press 4 5.
Working with Shells Whenever you enter a command you are making use of a command interpreter which interprets that command for HP-UX. The command interpreter is called a shell. When you log in, you are said to be \in" a shell. HP-UX supports several di erent shells which behave in slightly di erent ways and give you varying amounts of interactive support at your display. These are called the Bourne, Korn, Key, and C Shells.
Shell Features Below are listed some of the features which may help you make a decision on which shell would be best for the kind of work you are doing: Table 6-1. Comparison of Shell Features Features 6 Description Bourne Korn Key C Command history A feature allowing commands to be stored in a bu er, then modi ed and reused. No Yes Yes Line editing The ability to modify the current or previous command lines with a text editor.
Determining Your Login Shell The command echo $SHELL displays the le name of the shell you entered when you logged in. $ echo $SHELL /bin/sh $ Temporarily Changing Your Shell Unless you are in a restricted shell, you can temporarily change your shell by using this command: shell name where shell name is the name of the shell (for example, sh, or ksh). Temporarily changing your shell lets you experiment in other shells.
Using Key Shell: Visual Help for the Korn Shell Key Shell gives you help on most HP-UX commands in Korn Shell by displaying softkey command-names and options in sequence. You can select from these and let Key Shell build your command lines \in English" before you have mastered the commands and command syntax of HP-UX. The Key Shell gives you softkey displays at the bottom of your screen which provide a \menu" of basic Korn Shell commands, along with their options in sequence.
Accessing On-Line Command Help: man pages The man (man ual) command displays a command's syntax plus a detailed description of the command and its options and arguments (if any). Also, man may display examples of command usage and provide other information such as system les used, related commands, diagnostics, and possible problems. For example, in command-line mode, you can use man to learn more about the man command itself. Type: $ man man After a few seconds, an information display appears.
Using Files and Directories with Command Lines If you choose not to use HP VUE, the following tasks will accomplish the same thing, using command lines. If you need more information, see A Beginner's Guide to HP-UX . Creating Directories The mkdir (make directory) command creates a new directory. After you create a directory, you can move les into it, and you can even create more directories underneath it.
Figure 6-2. Creating the \projects" Directory The general form of the mkdir command is as follows: mkdir new dir path where new dir path is the path name of the directory you want to create. 6 Moving and Copying Files between Directories The mv command can be used to move les from one lename to another or from one directory to another. For example, to move myfile into the projects directory, type: $ cd $ mv myfile projects Move to your home directory rst.
Copying Files To copy a le into a di erent directory, use the cp command.
and .. which are the current directory and parent directory, respectively), this command will not be executed, and you will get a message that the directory is not empty. Also, if there are any subdirectories in the directory, you will get a message. In either case you can do the following: cd dirname rm * ll -a Any invisible "dot" lenames remaining will be displayed rm . lenames You may have to repeat this command for all dot les (other than . and ..) rmdir * This removes any empty subdirectories cd ..
Viewing and Printing Files The more command displays a text le's contents on the screen. For example, the following line displays the contents of myfile: $ more myfile This is the text of "myfile", which I had previously entered. $ If the le contains more lines than are on your screen, more pauses when the screen is full. With a longer le, you can press 4 5 to continue looking at additional screens, and press 4 5 when you are nished. Then more returns you to the system prompt.
To display a report on the printer status, including the order of your print job in the printer queue, type: $ lpstat -t To cancel a print job, enter the cancel command, with the i.d.
Using the vi Text Editor The HP-UX command vi is a powerful interactive text editor which enables you to view and alter text les within your le system. It allows you to create, delete, and edit les. This section provides a very rudimentary overview of the basics of operating vi. Starting vi d 6 c Start your editing session by entering the command vi lename at the prompt, where lename is the name of the le that you wish to either create, view, or alter.
d c a ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ "example" [New file] b Figure 6-4. Creating a New File Performing Editing Functions Once you start vi, you are either in command or text mode. Press the 4 5 key to ensure that your le is in command mode so that you can execute any of the following commands: ESC The insert command: 4 5 Places your le in text mode and enters whatever you type preceding the cursor. Everything on and after the cursor will be moved to the right.
The delete character command: 4 5 Deletes the character that is highlighted by the cursor. This command does not put your document in text mode. x The delete line command: 4 5 4 5 (press \d" twice) Deletes the line that is highlighted by the cursor. This command does not put your document in text mode. d d If the command expects you to type something after entering your command to complete the operation, you are placed in text mode; otherwise, you remain in command mode.
Key Moves The Cursor 4h5 Left 4j5 Down 4k5 Up 4l5 Right Saving Your Work You can save your work with or without quitting vi. Your document must be in command mode for you to be able to use the following commands to save your work. Press the 4 5 key to ensure that your document is in command mode. ZZ (press the capital letter Z twice in succession) :wq (think of it as \write, quit") ESC lename Both the ZZ and :wq commands save your le and leave vi.
Both the ZZ and :wq commands save your le and leave vi. The q! command causes your document to leave vi without saving your changes. For More Information on vi This section presents only the most basic information about a very powerful word processing feature of HP-UX. Refer to The Ultimate Guide to the vi and ex Text Editors or A Beginner's Guide to Text Editing for more detailed information about vi.
Backing Up, Installing, and Updating Your 7 Software Chapter Contents Backing Up Your File System Backing Up Selected Files Creating a Recovery System Restoring Your File System Restoring Selected Files Restoring Your Operating System Recovering Your Disk Space Installing HP-UX from Cartridge Tape or CD ROM Recreating an Instant Ignition Disk from CD ROM Updating from a Network Server 7 Backing Up, Installing, and Updating Your Software 7-1
Backing Up Your System and Software The most important part of your system is the data you have accumulated. You can protect it from loss by periodically making an archival back up tape of your le system(s). To back up a le system structure to a cartridge or a DDS-Format tape drive, you can take advantage of the interactive features of SAM (\System Administration Manager"). First you must make sure you have the correct device les in place so that SAM will be able to nd your tape drives. 1.
Archiving Your Entire File System Periodically, you will want to back-up your complete le system just in case your operating system ever needs to be recovered. Use the following procedure to create an archive of your le system on DDS or cartridge tape. It is best to create an archive when very few users are logged into the system (e.g. late at night or on weekends). Note 1. Enter sam 2.
Further prompts and error messages will be issued by the program fbackup until your backup is complete. fbackup will prompt you to put your backup media on (or in) the device you are using for your backup and will prompt you to change media as necessary. 8. When your backup is complete, SAM will return you to the \Backup and Recovery" menu. 9. Remove your tape(s), label them, and store them in a safe place.
Backing Up Selected Files Using SAM You will need to be prepared with the following information to work with speci c les: Which les on your system you want to back up. Whether you want selected backups to be done on an automated, unattended basis. For details on setting up automated backups, see System Administration Tasks . Which tape device you will use to create your backup. You will also need to know the name of the device le associated with this device.
4. You can also enter les to be excluded (e.g., from speci c directories), in the \Excluded" column on the right. 5. Enter the name of the device le for the device that will receive your backup in the eld called Device file . This will be the device you set up for the cartridge or DDS drive. 6. For the question Create index file (y or n) , enter y, if you want SAM to make an index le of the backup on the system disk. 7.
A recovery system can consist of one of the following: A recovery tape which you make yourself on an external DDS-Format or cartridge tape. A CD ROM disk which you purchase, containing the HP-UX operating system. For your data le system, a proper back up routine consists of: Archiving your entire le system. Performing periodic backups of the active parts of your le system. From this you can restore all or part of your le system when needed.
To create a recovery system tape on a HP-IB (9144-type) cartridge drive: This process requires the hpib cs80, and 98624 drivers, which are already con gured in the kernel. This can be con rmed by entering more /etc/conf/dfile. 1. Make sure your cartridge drive is connected appropriately to the HP-IB port on your controller. 2. Log in as root. 3. Set the bus address on the tape drive to be the same as in the device le which you will set in list item 4.
To create a recovery system tape on a DDS-Format tape drive. This process requires the scsi and scsitape drivers, which are already con gured into the kernel. This can be con rmed by entering more /etc/conf/dfile. 1. If your DDS-Format drive is external, make sure it is connected appropriately to the SCSI port on your controller. 2. Log in as root. 3. Verify that a device le called /dev/update.src exists. Remove it and create a new one with the following commands: rm /dev/update.
Restoring Your File System If your le system becomes corrupted and not usable, you can restore part or all of your le system with your archive backup tape(s). Restoring All Your Files Using SAM If you want to restore all your les do the following: 1. Run sam 2.
9. The last piece of information you need to supply is the name of the device le associated with the device from which the les will be restored. Enter the device le name for your drive in the eld on the data screen. 10. When you have completed the data entry screen, press the Perform Task softkey 4 5. SAM will then schedule frecover to restore your les. 11. Follow any prompts from frecover until your recovery is complete.
Restoring Your Operating System: If your operating system itself becomes inoperative, you can restore it from the recovery tape you made in \Creating a Recovery System", at the beginning of this chapter. 1. Turn o the system, except for the tape drive. 2. Load the recovery system tape (DDS or cartridge) into its drive and wait for the indicator lights to indicate \ready" status. 3. Turn on the Model 425 and hold down the keyboard space bar until you see the SEARCHING FOR A SYSTEM message. 4.
8. After your system has successfully rebooted, unload the recovery tape and load the rst archive tape. Wait for the lights on your tape device to stop ashing, indicating \ready" status. For the cartridge (9144-type) tape drive, type the following command 5: exactly as it is shown here, and press 4 Return cd / ; tcio -i /dev/update.src | /etc/frecover -f - For the DDS-Format (DAT) tape drive, type the following command and press 4 5: Return cd / ; /etc/frecover -f /dev/update.
Recovering Your Disk Space You may wish to remove unused les to make more space on your disk(s), from time to time. Following are instructions for removal of speci c les relating to the pre-installed system (\Instant Ignition"). Removing the \Instant Ignition" Toolset All of the \Instant Ignition" les copied to your system can be found in /etc/filesets/IGNITION.
Installing HP-UX From Cartridge Tape or CD ROM The procedures for installing a new system, updating your current system, or updating with new software are fully described for HP 9000 Series 400 computers in Installing and Updating HP-UX . For the HP 9000 Model 425, installing and updating can be done from a CD ROM, or from cartridge (9144-type) tape. Updating can be done from a network server which is con gured for that purpose.
Time Note A typical installation takes 4 to 6 hours from cartridge tape and 2 to 3 hours from CD ROM disks. For most of this time, the system loads lesets, and you can leave the system unattended, except for changing tapes or CDs. Installation Procedure Preparation If you have new hardware and are currently diskless (running your system as a C-node), rst, turn OFF your controller and all peripherals.
b. If you are installing from CD ROM, insert the Install disk in the CD ROM drive. 4. Turn ON the monitor. Leave other peripheral devices OFF until the installation is complete. 5.

8 Configuring HP-UX for New Drives Chapter Contents Preparing for Installation Con guring for a Hard Disk Drive Con guring for a CD ROM Drive Con guring for a DDS format (DAT) Tape Drive 8 Configuring HP-UX for New Drives 8-1
Preparing for Installation See the Installation Guide for the information speci c to your hardware installation. This User's Guide covers only those subjects that deal with the software or operating system aspects of new disk drives. It is important to ensure that each of the devices used on the SCSI bus (select code 14) has a unique bus address .
This will give a display of information, such as the following (if only one disk were installed only at address 5): 0.rdsk diskinfo: can't open 0.rdsk: No such 1.rdsk diskinfo: can't open 1.rdsk: No such 2.rdsk diskinfo: can't open 2.rdsk: No such 3.rdsk diskinfo: can't open 3.rdsk: No such 4.rdsk diskinfo: can't open 4.rdsk: No such 5.rdsk SCSI describe of 5.rdsk: vendor: Quantum product id: XXXXXXX type: direct access size: 200000000 bytes bytes per sector: NNN 6.rdsk diskinfo: can't open 6.
Configuring for a Hard Disk Drive After hardware installation has been completed (see the Installation Guide for this device), you'll need to ensure that your operating system is prepared to exchange data with the device. This section provides instructions for con guring HP-UX to communicate with the available Hard Disk Drives, in order to use the disks for mass storage and/or swap space. Setting Up the Device Files. Finding the Status of Existing SCSI Bus Addresses. Building a File System with newfs.
The factory-set SCSI addresses for these devices are: For a factory-installed disk in your 425s/t: SCSI bus address: 6 For an upgrade disk drive: SCSI bus address: 5 As it is possible that the SCSI bus address jumpers may be shipped with di erent settings, please see the appropriate Installation Guide for guidance on resetting jumpers, should it be necessary. The jumper connections on the upgrade disk are factory set at bus address 5.
Using mknod to Set Up Device Files You will need to have both a character device le and a block device le to communicate with your SCSI hard disk drive on the system. If you need to set up a device le or change the speci cations for an existing one, you can use the mknod command.
For example, if your drive is at bus address 5 and you are installing an HP A1440A drive, you can build a le system on the disk as follows: Log in as root. Enter the following (using the character device le to lay out the le system): newfs QUANTUM_PD210S /dev/rdsk/5s0 Using the -n option with newfs prevents the bootstrap programs from being installed. You should use the -n option, if this hard disk drive is not being mounted as the root disk.
mount -a For a simple le-system disk, the following line in /etc/checklist will mount the drive on /users, with bus address 5 (normally not used by a root disk). /dev/dsk/5s0 /users hfs rw 0 1 # userdsk To mount the drive immediately, for this login session only, for instance, on the directory /users, you can execute the mount command directly from the command line: mount /dev/dsk/5s0 /users The mount command announces to the system that a removable le system is to be attached on the directory /users.
Testing Your Installation A simple test to make certain that the drive has been installed correctly (whether it is mounted or not) is to execute the command diskinfo (using the appropriate device le name as the argument): diskinfo /dev/rdsk/5s0 If the disk is installed correctly, diskinfo will display a listing of information about it, such as the following: 5.rdsk SCSI describe of 5.
Configuring for a CD ROM Drive (425s only) After hardware installation has been completed (see the Installation Guide for this device), you'll need to ensure that your operating system is prepared to exchange data with the device. This section provides instructions for con guring HP-UX to communicate with the HP A2074A CD ROM drive. (Note that the CD ROM drive cannot be locally mounted on a diskless node.) Setting Up the Device Files. Finding the Status of Existing SCSI Bus Addresses.
Caution Do not open the disk caddy shutter manually. Opening the shutter will expose the disk's data surface to dust and damage. If the data surface gets too much dust or damage, its readability by the CD ROM drive's laser read head will be reduced. 3. Mounting the disk so that you can access it as a le system. Setting Up the Device Files If you do not have device les, you will need to add them. You will need both a character device le and a block device le. 1.
Using mknod to Set Up Device Files If you only need to change a device le speci cation, you can use the mknod command to set up the device le. For example, if you wanted to change the bus address of your character device le to 6, you could do so by entering the following: mknod /dev/rdsk/6mn c 47 0x0e0600 For a block device, enter: mknod /dev/dsk/6s0 b 7 0x0e0600 By convention, the \6" in the device name (/dev/rdsk/6s0 or /dev/dsk/6s0 ) corresponds to the bus address of the device.
Adding the cdfs Configurable File System To check for the presence of the cdfs, enter the following: grep cdfs /etc/conf/dfile If the display shows a line with cdfs, it is present and active. If the display shows *cdfs, the driver is not active, and you will need to edit the dfile to activate it. If the display shows nothing, then you will need to add the cdfs line to the dfile by typing the line cdfs at the end of the le.
After rebuilding the kernel of the cluster server, rebuild the kernels of the server nodes by logging into each node and repeating this process. Testing Your Installation A simple test to make certain that everything has been installed correctly is to execute the command diskinfo. To do so, rst make sure a CD ROM is inserted in the drive.
Removing and Inserting a Disk You must mount a CD ROM disk every time you insert it into the drive, and you must unmount the disk before the system will allow you to eject it from the drive. Before you remove a disk: 1. For example, if the disk is designated by the block device le /dev/dsk/2s0, temporarily unmount the disk's le system by executing the following: umount /dev/dsk/2s0 2. Press the eject button to remove the disk After you insert a disk: 1.
For More Information For more information on the mount, umount, mknod, config, shutdown, and reboot commands, please see the appropriate entries in HP-UX Reference . You can also use your online command help system by entering man, followed by the name of the command. Information on the installation of external peripheral devices can be found in Installing Peripherals .
Configuring for a DDS-Format Drive Details of hardware installation for the drive are given in the HP A1447A DDS-Format Drive Upgrade Installation Guide .
If the display shows nothing, then you will need to add the scsi device driver line to dfile, by typing the line scsi. You can also determine if the kernel contains the actual driver by typing: nm /hp-ux | grep scsitape or nm /hp-ux | grep scsi If you get a list of names - such as scsitape_open and scsitape_close, then you have the correct tape driver installed. Adding the Device Files You will only need to have a raw device le to communicate with your DDS-Format drive on the system.

You (only) have read, write, and execute permission. other 54 Major number for the scsi tape drive. 0x0e0303 Select code=14 (\0e" in hex); \03" is a bus address of \3", corresponding to the jumper settings on the DDS-Format drive unit; The next \03" is the unit number, which a ects how the drive operates. Dec 10 /dev/rmt/3mn 1990 The device le name.
Finding the Status of Existing SCSI Bus Addresses To ensure that an existing scsi bus address is unused, you will need to inspect the /dev/tmp subdirectory for lines ending with rmt and then see which ones are actually being used by devices connected to your system. The script listed below will help by telling you what devices are currently connected. To determine the active bus ID's, do the following: 1. Log in as root. 2. Type ksh if you are using Bourne Shell or C Shell. 3.
Note If you nd that the bus address corresponding to the number set on your device is already in use, you will have to determine if it is easier to change that device to another bus address or to remove the DDS-Format Drive from the computer box in order to set its jumpers to another number so that its address can be changed. Rebuilding the Kernel If you have added a driver to the system, you must rebuild (or regenerate) the kernel to cause HP-UX to execute the new con guration.
mt -t /dev/rmt/3s0 rew The LED on the drive will icker brie y if the command has completed successfully. Inserting and Removing Cassettes As you face your Model 425s in its normal, vertical position: 1. Insert the cassette with its label facing left into the cassette port. 2. A load sequence automatically loads it into the drive mechanism and threads the tape. A tape test is performed that checks the read/write circuitry in the DDS-Format drive. This takes about 25 seconds.
Writing and Reading Data After the DDS-Format cassette has been loaded, data can be written to and read from the cassette. For More Information ... Refer to Installing Peripherals for further details.

10 Interpreting Error Messages During Boot When you turn on your computer, an error message such as the following indicates that a hardware problem with the Boot ROM or its associated circuits probably occurred: Configuration EEPROM Failed Configure Mode Failed Refer to Table 10-1 for possible error messages you may see when entering Con guration Mode. Table 10-1.
10 Table 10-1. Configuration Mode Entry Error Messages (continued) Error Message Meaning and Action EEPROM Load Section Missing Could not load new con guration data. Hardware failure. EEPROM Defaults Section Missing Default con gurations could not be found. Hardware failure. Too much data to save Too many interfaces for EEPROM to manage. Recon gure computer with fewer interfaces.
10 Interpreting the LED Indicators During Boot Figure 10-1. Diagnostic LEDs - Model 425s and 425t (right) There are eight diagnostic LEDs (A through H) on the computer's front panel. The normal indications of a running system are given in Table 10-3. Some of these LEDs will always be blinking during normal operation. Table 10-3.
10 The indications in Table 10-4 refer to conditions which might happen during boot, including boot failures, before HP-UX is running: Table 10-4. Diagnostic LED Display During Boot LED Display (During Boot) A B C D E F G H Status No failure. Failed CPU register test. Testing the top 16 Kbyte of memory. Top 16 Kbyte of memory failed.

10 Problems with VUE Checking Your Error Logs For errors that occur prior to successfully logging in with HP VUE, you can examine /usr/lib/X11/vue/Vuelogin/Xerrors for clues as to what happened. For errors that may have occurred subsequent to logging in, you can examine .vue/errorlog , in your home directory for error information. Dealing with Possible Installation Problems For general problems with VUE, rst check for errors in installation: Table 10-5.
10 Table 10-5. Installation Problems (continued) Problem hpterm won't work Probable cause An incorrect version of hpterm is found in $PATH before a correct version. Check .vueprofile to ensure that $PATH is set properly. Also make sure that /usr/bin/X11 appears before /usr/bin in your $PATH.
10 Logging in When All Else Fails NNNNNNNNNNNNNN If you should have login problems which VUE Help won't solve, use the following procedure: On occasion, logging in might not go as expected. For example, you may incorrectly edit vuewmrc so that the next time you try to log in, you return to the login screen. To log in when all else fails: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN Click on [Options] . Choose Fail-safe Session . Click on the Login box. Type your login name. 5.
10 Handling a Boot Failure Understanding the Boot Program The boot program is located in the Boot ROM of your computer. Here are each of the steps presented with a list of things to check if something went wrong at that point in the boot process. Step 1: Boot Program Initializes Hardware Problems during this rst stage of the boot process are rare.
10 Verify that at least one device is powered on and in a ready state (it must also have a Secondary Loader Program, of course). This symptom could also indicate that no kernel was found (see the next phase for details). Boot Program finds the WRONG secondary loader Another possible problem at this stage is that the boot program does nd a secondary loader program, but the one it nds is the wrong one.
10 will be displayed. (You will get a similar message if the secondary loader is accidentally instructed to load Domain O/S.) If after a few minutes, nothing appears to happen, your system probably can't nd a kernel to boot. If you're certain that a valid kernel resides on one of your devices, re-check the status of the device (see the following list \Possible Problem Areas").
10 The boot ROM program looks for valid kernel les from which to boot HP-UX. As it locates various kernel les, it creates a list of them and displays them on the screen in the order in which it found them. If you are booting in attended mode (having pressed the space bar down after the \HIL" message indicated that the keyboard was active), this list remains on the screen and you have a chance to select from the list.
10 Most of the startup processing is done within the /etc/rc script, which, in turn, calls other scripts. At this stage you are already booted. Any problems your system encounters as it executes these scripts are the same types of problems found in a running system. For instance, in the /etc/bcheckrc script, the fsck utility might encounter problems with a le system. If this is the case, refer to Chapter 6 of Solving HP-UX Problems for further assistance.
10 Recovering from a System Panic System Panic: Record and Categorize Panic: Problem Area Hardware Some corrective processes: If the failure appears to be associated with the peripheral: Check the integrity of the cable connections. Ensure that the peripheral is online. If the above did not correct the problem, the failure may be associated with the System Processing Unit. In this case, call your designated service representative.
10 Determining Why the System Panics In HP-UX terms, a panic simply means that HP-UX ran into a condition that it did not know how to respond to, so it halted your computer. System panics are rare and not always the result of a catastrophe. They sometimes occur on boot if your system was previously not shut down properly. Sometimes they occur as the result of a hardware failure.
10 Category Proceed to Step # Hardware Failure Step 3a File system Problem (corrupted?) Step 3b LAN communication Problem Step 3c None of the above Step 3d If the panic message indicated a hardware failure, the text or context of the message should indicate what piece of hardware failed. Step 3a: Recovery from Hardware Failure.
10 If the panic messages indicates a problem with LAN communication (such as when a diskless cluster client node is prevented from communication for too long), check all LAN cable connections to be sure of the following: All connectors are tightly fastened to the LAN cable and the media access units (MAU's). If you are using \thick LAN," make sure all taps are tightly connected to their respective cables and that AUI cables are connected securely to the LAN interface cards (LANICs) in your computer.
10 If the reason your system panicked was because of a corrupted le system, fsck will report the errors and any corrections it makes. If the problems were associated with your root le system, fsck will ask you to reboot your system when it's nished. When you do this, use the command: reboot -n The -n option tells reboot not to sync the le system before rebooting. Since fsck has made all the corrections on disk, you do not want to undo the changes by writing over them with the still corrupt memory bu ers.
10 For Further Information ... Refer to Solving HP-UX Problems and to System Administration Tasks for further information on operating-system related problems. To restore a corrupted operating system, see the procedures for restoring disks in Chapter 7 of this manual.
10 Hard Disk Drive: Interpreting the Status Indicators Caution Do not operate your internal hard disk drive if your computer has been exposed to extreme temperatures, such as being left in an automobile overnight in cold weather. This could cause damage to the drive. A hard disk drive must stabilize to room temperature before you operate it. Refer to the appropriate Installation Guide for limits on temperature and humidity for your drive and for details of general operation.
10 spindle is at maximum speed and the hard disk status indicator is o , the drive is idle. Status Indications During Operation The following table explains the operation of the status indicator during operation: Table 10-6. Hard Disk Drive Status Indicators Status Explanation OFF No power, or hard disk drive is idle on SCSI bus ON Self-test has failed if the indicator stays on 20 seconds after the power is switched on. The probable cause is the hard disk drive controller.
10 Interpreting the DDS-Format Busy Light Indicators Your DDS-Format drive has two busy light indicators that display either green or yellow colors: Cassette Busy Light. Drive Busy Light. When your computer is turned on, the DDS-Format drive automatically performs a self-test. The cassette busy light (the left-most or upper light on the drive), indicates the status of the cassette during the self test. It also indicates activity with your computer.
10 Table 10-7. DDS-Format Indicators for Normal Operation Busy Lights Cassette (Left) Drive (Right) O O O Meaning No cassette loaded or computer power o . Green No cassette loaded and activity with computer. ( ashing randomly) Green ( ashing) Green ( ashing) Loading or unloading a write-enabled cassette. Green O Write-enabled cassette loaded and drive o -line. Green Green ( ashing) Green Green Yellow O Write-protected cassette loaded and drive o -line.
10 DDS-Format Fault Conditions Table 10-8 lists the DDS-Format busy light indications for fault conditions. Table 10-8. DDS-Format Indicators for Fault Conditions Busy Lights Meaning Cassette (Left) Drive (Right) O O Green On 4.5 sec. O .5 sec. Green or Yellow Yellow Yellow High humidity. One Yellow Flash Yellow Drive failed. Two Yellow Flashes Yellow Drive controller failed. Three Yellow Flashes Yellow Drive controller failed. Drive power failure. Media warning.
10 Interpreting the CD ROM Busy Light Indicators The CD ROM busy light shows the status of the drive during the self-test phase and during activity with the system. The self-test is performed at the following times: When you insert a disk with the power on. When you turn on the drive with a disk loaded. Normal Operation: Self-Test When a disk loads into the drive. While a read test is performed on the disk.
10 Dealing with Network Failures If the program you have been running uses resources from a local area network and it stops unexpectedly, the following may help locate the source of the problem: Table 10-9. Problems with the Network Problem Action No systems respond to the /etc/ping hostname command. Check the network connection at the back of your workstation. Make sure that the cable is securely fastened to the appropriate connector.
