Configuring Serial Devices (for Host-Based Management)
Modify the Network Management Configuration File
3. In the “Physical path of LANIC” field, type the slot number for
the LANIC card in the host.
See the list on the next page for commonly used slot numbers.
4. Press the
[Save Data] function key.
Press the
[Go to DTC] function key to proceed to step 5: Select DTC
Type.
Go to UserPort The [Go To UserPort] key is used to configure the user port (default
ldev 21) on the NIO console. Pressing this key takes you to the HP
Support Modem Port Screen for configuring the ldev, the line speed,
modem type, and parity of the user port. The configuration of user port
is only supported for the NIO LAN console card (for example, HP 3000
Series 9X7 and 9X7 LX). Refer to Chapter 9, “Describing Asynchronous
Devices,” for more information on the user port.
Go to UPS Port The [Go To UPS Port] key takes you to the Uninterruptible Power Supply
Port Screen. This screen is used to configure the ldev number, line
speed, and parity on a port of the SCSI/Console LAN card (default
ldev 22) to support an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) connection.
This port is only available and supported on HP 3000 Series 9X8
systems. Refer to Chapter 9, “Describing Asynchronous Devices,” and to
the Performing System Manager Tasks manual, for more information on
the UPS.
A UPS can also be connected to a DTC port via a configuration process
that does NOT use the
[Go To UPS Port] key. Refer to Chapter 9,
“Describing Asynchronous Devices,” for information on how to connect a
UPS to a DTC port.
NOTE You can type “help whatsnew” at the command line of this screen for
more information on DTS dynamic and automatic configuration
capabilities. You can also refer to Chapter 3, “Automatic Configuration
of DTCs,” and Chapter 4, “Dynamic Configuration and DTS
Shutdown/Restart,” for more information on how to perform an
automatic and dynamic configuration, respectively.
Fields
Physical path of
LANIC This is the location of the DTS LANIC in the system's
backplane.
The default physical path (slot numbers) for HP 3000
computers are listed below. These defaults optimize
performance and use of the computer’s cabinet space.
Before moving the LANIC into another slot, consult an
HP representative.
