Configuring HP-UX For Peripherals

Configuring Terminals and Modems
Configuring HP-UX for an HP Terminal or for a Modem
NOTE To avoid introducing format errors, do not edit the HP-UX system
description files directly. Instead, use the commands kmsystem and
kmtune. These commands are new for Release 11.0; consult kmsystem
(1M) and kmtune (1M) in the HP-UX Reference.
d. Build the new kernel by invoking the mk_kernel command. This
action creates /stand/build/vmunix_test, a kernel ready for
testing.
/usr/sbin/mk_kernel -s /stand/build/system
e. Save the old system file by moving it. Then move the new system file
into place.
mv /stand/system /stand/system.prev
mv /stand/build/system /stand/system
f. Prepare for rebooting by invoking the kmupdate command. This
action sets a flag that tells the system to use the new kernel when it
restarts.
/usr/sbin/kmupdate
Step 4. Bring down the system with sufficient grace period to allow users to exit
their files. You can execute /usr/sbin/shutdown -r or
/usr/sbin/reboot.
If you are installing an interface card, bring the system to a halt (that is,
use the -h option). See shutdown (1M) or reboot (1M) in the HP-UX
Reference. Power off all peripherals, and then the SPU. Perform the
physical installation, as described in the hardware manual
accompanying the interface card or other device. Power on all
peripherals, and then the SPU.
Once the system boots from the newly created kernel, HP-UX detects the
new terminal and associates it with its driver. insf automatically
creates the device special files necessary to communicate directly with
the terminal.
Step 5. Invoke /usr/sbin/ioscan
-C tty -fn to confirm that the I/O subsystem finds the terminal. Your
output should now resemble the ioscan output shown in step 2.
