HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide, September 2008 (Update 3 Release)

Depending on the firmware level of your Integrity server, you can select your primary
HP-UX console using one the following methods:
• The EFI conconfig command (if present)
• The EFI Boot Manager
IMPORTANT: Do not select more than one console device. HP-UX 11i v3 recognizes
only one device at a time. Choosing more than one device can result in the appearance
of a system hang.
Determining if the conconfig Command Exists on your System
1. At the EFI prompt type the following command:
Shell> conconfig
• If the command exists, the system may return output similar to the following:
CONSOLE CONFIGURATION
Index Primary Type Device Path
1 P Serial Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1|2)
2 S VGA Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,0)/Pci(4|0)
NOTE: The above is an example of factory defaults. As you will see later in
these steps, one of these devices will have to be configured as “primary” (P);
the other will have to be configured with a status of “Not Configured” (NC).
• If the command does not exist, the system will return the error message:
conconfig not found.
2. Depending on whether the conconfig command exists on your system, use either
the conconfig command or the EFI Boot Manager to select your primary HP-UX
console.
