2.4 Console Command Menu
The Console Controller supports a command menu that can be used to issue key machine management
commands to the system from the system console. It can reboot or execute other commands on a
nonfunctioning system.
To access the console command menu from a V105 console using an ANSI keyboard, press the F5 key.
To access the console command menu from a V105 using a PC keyboard, press the CTRL and PAUSE
keys simultaneously. Other terminals generally use the Break key alone to enter command mode. This
puts the console into command mode and displays the following menu:
help...........displays command list.
shutdown.......begin orderly system shutdown.
restart_cpu....force CPU into kernel dump/debug mode.
reset_bus......send reset to system.
hpmc_reset.....send HPMC to cpus.
history........display switch closure history.
quit, q........exit the front panel command loop.
. ............display firmware version.
The following describes the actions of each command:
help - Displays the menu list on the screen.
shutdown
- Initiates an immediate orderly system shutdown.
restart_cpu - Issues a broadcast interrupt (level 7) to all CPU boards in the system. Generates
a system dump.
reset_bus - If there is a nonbroken CPU/memory board in the system, this command issues a
"warm" reset (that is, save current registers) to all boards on the main system bus. Immediately
kills all system activities and reboots the system. CAUTION: Do not use this command on
PA-8500 systems if you want a system dump; use the hpmc_reset command instead.
hpmc_reset
- Issues a high priority machine check (HPMC) to all CPUs on all CPU-memory
boards in the system. This command first flushes the caches to preserve dump information and
then (based on an internal flag value) either invokes a "warm" reset (that is, reboots the system,
saving current memory and registers) or simply returns to the HP-UX operating system.
history - Displays a list of the most recently entered console commands.
quit, q - Exits the console command menu and returns the console to its normal mode. (If
