Do not select more than one console device. HP-UX 11i v2 recognizes only
one device at a time. Choosing more than one device can result in the
appearance of system hang.
1. Decide what console you want to use.
Depending on your system configuration, HP-UX can use one of the
following devices as your system console:
• System Serial Port
• Management Processor (MP) Serial Port (if present)
• VGA device (if present)
2. Using the EFI menus, select the appropriate console device and
deselect others:
• Select Boot option maintenance from the main Boot
Manager Menu.
• Select Select Active Console Output Devices.
• Select the correct output device and deselect others. On the HP
Integrity rx2600, HP Integrity rx5670, and zx6000 systems, the
Select Active Console Output Devices menu looks like this:
EFI Boot Maintenance Manager ver 1.10 [14.57]
