Deallocation, a feature that allows the system to provide information to the operating system about memory failures.

You can use the memrpt command with the detail switch to obtain information about the

Memory Page Deallocation Table (PDT) as well as single bit errors logged by the system, by typing the following:

# /usr/sbin/sysdiag Enter

DUI>logtool Enter

LOGTOOL>memrpt detail Enter

The PDT can also be checked using the pdt command in the Service menu of the Boot

Console Handler (refer to Chapter 6). If you replace a defective DIMM, use the Service

Menu’s pdt clear command to clear out the PDT.

System Hardware Configurations

This section provides information for setting up or changing the configuration of the Field

Replaceable Units (FRUs) for the B2000 workstation.

Internal Storage Devices

Hard Disk Drive Configuration

The SCSI IDs for hard disk drives are hard-wired into the SCA Ultra2 Wide LVD SCSI interfaces on the system board within the B2000 workstation. Hence, SCSI IDs do not need to be set for the hard disk drives (up to two) installed in this workstation. From top to bottom, the pre-set SCSI IDs for hard disk drives are: 6 and 5.

Similarly, no jumpers are installed at the factory, nor is any jumper installation required at the customer’s site, on the hard disk drive model supported with the B2000 workstation.

To remove and replace or install a hard disk drive, see the section titled “Hard Disk

Drives” on page 104. Also see the next subsection, “Configuring a Hard Disk Drive as a File

System,” when removing or installing a hard disk drive.

When handling the drive, always wear the static-grounding wrist strap that came in the floppy disk drive kit. Always handle the drive carefully.

Chapter 2 37

Configuration


Memory

The B2000 workstation has 4 memory slots, labeled SL0 through SL3. Memory can be configured from 256 MB to 2 GB for the B2000 workstation. Memory does not have to be configured in pairs for the B2000, but must be loaded in the order shown in Figure 2-2.

Notice the alternating load pattern by location on the system board.

Memory Slots

(4 Slots)

The B2000 workstation supports 128 MB, 256 MB, and 512 MB DIMMs. If you will install different sizes of memory DIMMs in a particular workstation, load the largest size first and then the smaller size for maximum performance. For example, load a 256 MB DIMM in slot 0 (SL0) and then load a 128 MB DIMM in slot 1 (SL1).

CAUTION The memory DIMMs must be installed in the correct order, else the workstation will not boot properly.

NOTE Users who wish to achieve both maximum performance and maximum future capacity are advised to use 512 MB DIMMs exclusively.

To remove DIMMs, see the section titled “Removing Memory DIMMs” on page 114. To replace or install DIMMs, see the section titled “Replacing or Installing Additional

Memory DIMMs” on page 115. Note that there is a system label on the floor of the workstation’s interior showing the memory loading order for the B2000.

Use the Boot Console Handler to verify that the workstation recognizes the installed memory. See “Displaying the Current Memory Configuration” on page 156.

38 Chapter 2

Configuration


I/O Cards

The B2000 workstation’s system board has four Peripheral Connect Interface (PCI) slots for option I/O cards. Slots 1 and 2 are full-size (PCI-2X) slots. Slots 3 and 4 are half-size

(PCI-1X) slots. See Figure 2-3 for a brief description of slot capabilities.

Figure 2-3. PCI Card Slot Numbering and Capabilities

Slot 1 64-bits, 5V, 33MHz




To remove and replace or install I/O cards, see the section titled “I/O Cards” on page 110.

NOTE If you are installing an additional HP V ISUALIZE -fxe graphics card, after you connect the monitor to the additional graphics card, you must change the graphics path for that monitor. To do this, see the section “Displaying and

Setting the Monitor Type” on page 150.

Chapter 2 39

Configuration


Monitor-Type Selection

The B2000 workstation supports monitors set to one of the following resolutions:

• 1280

×1024 color (stereo capable), 75Hz, VESA

• 1600 ×1200 color, 75Hz, VESA

• 1280

×1024 color, 75 Hz, VESA

The workstation must have either an HP-supported monitor running at 75 Hz with a

1280

×1024 resolution, or a full multi-mode color monitor. Monitors with EVC, D-Sub, or 5

BNC connectors (RGB, vertical sync, horizontal sync) will function.

NOTE The HP V ISUALIZE -fxe graphics card will not function with older HP monitor types that use a sync on green signal. This includes monitors such as the

HP 1097A/B/C/D, A2088A, and A2828A/B that only have 3 BNC connectors.

Note that you can connect the B2000 workstation to earlier HP monitors with 15-pin miniature D-Sub cables using the A4168A adapter shipped with the workstation’s accessory kit.

The monitor type does not have to change since the B2000 workstation is set up to support the monitors listed above. However, if for some reason the monitor type needs to change, refer to Chapter 6, “Boot Console Handler.”

To troubleshoot an HP V

ISUALIZE

B2000 workstation, you must be familiar with the

HP-UX operating system. You should also be familiar with the boot ROM diagnostics and the Mesa (Support Tools Manager) online tests, which we describe in this chapter.

As a super-user who is troubleshooting an HP-UX system, you should be able to shutdown and reboot a system, start and stop processes, and examine error logs. You should also be able to use systems utilities such as ioscan to check device files and configurations, swlist to show loaded patches and software bundles, and SAM to configure and show enabled services and configurations. You should also be familiar with STM, the online diagnostics tool. You can view man pages on any of these online utilities or commands.

Note any error or status messages, then run the power-up boot ROM diagnostics, known as

Self Test. If the Self Test diagnostics fail, replace the FRU that is indicated. If the tests pass, but you still suspect a problem, run the ISL diagnostics and Mesa (Support Tools

Manager) online tests.

For a complete description of using ISL diagnostics and Mesa (Support Tools Manager), refer to the following website URL:

http://wojo.rose.hp.com/

Flowcharts for Troubleshooting

The following four figures contain troubleshooting flowcharts you can follow to isolate a failing Field Replaceable Unit (FRU). Figure 3-1 contains the main (power on LCD) troubleshooting flowchart.

Identifying LCD-Indicated Conditions

Identifying LCD-Indicated Conditions

The B2000 workstation uses an LCD panel to display firmware/OS progress codes. The codes, referred to as chassis codes, consist of one of the mnemonics listed below, followed by a 4-digit hexadecimal number identifying the code module being executed. The mnemonics and their meanings are:

FLT

TST

A hardware error has been detected

Hardware being tested

INI

SHU

WRN

RUN

Hardware being initialized

System being shutdown

A non-optimal or unusual operating condition exists

In general, the LCD display has the following format:

MMM CCCC: FFFFFF

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Line 1

Line 2

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Description of the chassis code

If the system encounters an FLT code while the system is booting, the FLT code is interpreted and a message is displayed. For example, you may have information similar to the following in the LCD:

Fan Faults and Warnings


This section provides the fault (FLT) and warning (WRN) messages you will see in the LCD if there is a problem with a fan in the B2000 workstation.

A chassis code which indicates that a fan has failed (FLT D01n) or is running too slowly

(WRN D02n) within a B2000 workstation specifies the fan number, n. Table 3-1 lists the fan numbers and their names. To locate the correct fan, see Figure 3-5 on the next page.

• The entire system board tray assembly, if it is a processor fan (5) (that is, the fan mounted on the PA-RISC microprocessor on the system board).

See Chapter 4 for the procedures you should follow to remove and replace a fan.

Chapter 3 49

Troubleshooting

Dealing with a Boot Failure


To start this workstation from an operating system stored on a device different from the usual boot device, to boot from a different disk, or to boot from another type of device (such as an alternate hard disk or CD), see the following situations and examples that use the

Boot Console Handler. To access the Boot Console Handler, see Chapter 6.

• To boot from a known device containing a bootable operating system, type the following at the prompt and press Enter :

Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu > boot device where device is the hardware path to the device, specified in Mnemonic Style Notation

For example, to boot an operating system stored on a DDS-format tape in a drive located at “scsi.1.0,” go to the Main Menu of the Boot Console Interface and then type the following command at the prompt and press Enter :

Main Menu: Enter a command > boot scsi.1.0

The operating system on the specified device is used to start the workstation.

• To interact with the Initial System Loader (ISL) before booting the workstation, type the following at the prompt and press Enter :

Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu > boot device

You are prompted: Interact with ISL (Y or N) > y

Answering yes (y) causes the ISL to be loaded from the specified device. After a short time, the following prompt appears on the screen:

ISL>

ISL is the program that actually controls the loading of the operating system. By interacting with ISL, you can choose to load an alternate version of the HP-UX operating system.

For example, if the usual kernel (/stand/vmunix for HP-UX 10.20) on the root disk

(scsi.6.0) has become corrupted, boot the workstation from the backup kernel

(/stand/vmunix.prev for HP-UX 10.20) by typing the following at the ISL> prompt and press Enter :

ISL> hpux /stand/vmunix.prev

• To find the location of the bootable operating systems on the various media in the file system, use the search ipl command.

50 Chapter 3

Troubleshooting


Searching for Bootable Media

To list all devices that may contain bootable media, go to the Main Menu of the Boot

Console Interface and then type the following at the prompt:

Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu > search ipl

The search may turn up more devices than there are lines on the display. If using a text terminal, you can control the progress of the search from the terminal’s keyboard by performing the following steps:

• To hold the display temporarily, press Ctrl S

• To continue the display, press Ctrl Q

• To halt the search, press Esc

These flow-control commands do not work with a bitmapped display, but such a display can show more than forty lines of text, so they are unnecessary.

To search for devices of just one type that actually contain bootable media, go to the Main

Menu of the Boot Console Interface and then type the following at the prompt:

Main Menu: Enter a command > search ipl device_type where device_type is one of the following:

• scsi is the built-in fast, Ultra2 Wide LVD (Low Voltage Differential) SCSI bus.

• lan is all connections to the built-in LAN.

• ide is the built-in CD drive.

• pcin is an optional plug-in device in PCI slot number n.

• disk is any bootable device other than LAN.

Stable Storage

Stable Storage is non-volatile memory associated with each PA-RISC processor module.

Stable storage is used by the processor (CPU) to store device path information, the state of the boot flags, HPMC error information, and operating system initialization data.

Chapter 3 51

Troubleshooting


Boot Command Notations

The boot command supports the following two notations:

• Mnemonic

• Path number

Type help scsi or help lan for more information on the boot path parameters.

Here are examples of mnemonic notation:

• boot with no parameters selects the primary boot path in stable storage.

• boot with the alternate or alt parameter selects the alternate boot path in stable storage.

Here is an example of path number notation:

• boot p1 attempts to boot from the second path in a list generated by a previous search command.

Supported Boot Paths

SCSI devices are bootable when connected to the SCSI port on the system. Diskless workstations can only boot from the LAN port on the system board. The workstation can be booted from the CD-ROM for software installation.

ISL Environment

The ISL environment provides the means to load the operating system (HP-UX) environment. The ISL environment also provides an off-line platform to execute diagnostic and utility programs from a boot device when HP-UX does not load.

The ISL program is the first program loaded into main memory from an external media

(LAN, disk, or tape) and launched by the initial program loader (IPL) routine during the

Boot Administration environment.

The ISL environment provides the following capabilities:

• Execute user-entered commands to modify boot device paths and boot options in stable storage.

• Run off-line diagnostic programs and utilities.

• Provide automatic booting of the HP-UX operating system after power-on or reset.

The ISL program provides a stand-alone environment for loading off-line diagnostic and utility programs from the LIF directory. The ISL program also provides user commands to configure the boot parameters into Stable Storage.

52 Chapter 3

Troubleshooting

Selftest Failures


Chassis codes are the key to debugging selftest errors. If a failure is found during selftest, chassis codes are displayed in the LCD. The procedure for using these codes to debug a failure is as follows:

1. Using Table 3-2, which starts on the next page, find the chassis code listed on the LCD.

2. To get additional information about failures from the Boot Console Handler, use the

Service Menu’s pim, pdt, and ChassisCodes commands.

In the following table, the FRU column shows messages printed on the LCD that refer to system FRUs. Only FLT codes have FRUs associated with them. Some WRN codes are also device specific, especially to IODC calls; for example, 8xxx codes. TST and INI codes do not necessarily correspond to any FRU. All codes are listed in numeric order.

NOTE Because the B2000 workstation is a single-board system, references to the

I/O BD (I/O board) in chassis codes displayed on the LCD and listed in Table

3-2 are actually references to the SYS BD (system board).

Memory Failures

Memory Failures

The B2000 system implements Memory Page Deallocation. This feature allows the workstation to provide information to the operating system about memory failures.

HP-UX 10.20 uses information to map out failing memory areas and continue normal operation. You can use the command memrpt with the detail switch to obtain information about the Memory Page Deallocation Table (PDT) as well as single-bit errors logged by the system, as follows:

# /usr/sbin/sysdiag Enter

DUI > logtool Enter

LOGTOOL> memrpt detail Enter

The PDT can also be checked using the pdt command in the Service menu of the Boot

Console Handler (refer to Chapter 6).

For allowable memory configurations, see the “Memory” section on page 38.

Chapter 3 77

Troubleshooting

Running System Verification Tests

Running System Verification Tests

HP-UX uses an online diagnostics product named Mesa (Support Tools Manager) that allows system operation verification.

Three interfaces are available with the Support Tools Manager:

• A command line interface accessed through the cstm command

• A menu-driven interface accessed through the mstm command

• A graphical user interface accessed through the xstm command

For more information on these user interfaces, see the online man pages by entering the following at a command line prompt:

man cstm Enter man mstm Enter man xstm Enter

For information on the enhanced online diagnostics, see the Support Media User’s Manual

(HP Part Number B3782-90176).

To access the Support Tools Manager, perform the following steps:

1. In a terminal window, type the following at the # prompt to invoke the command line interface:

# cstm Enter

2. The following message appears:

Support Tools Manager Version A.01.00

Type help for a list of available commands:

CSTM> help Enter

3. To verify the system operation, type the following at the CSTM> prompt:

CSTM> verify all Enter

Messages similar to the following appear:

Verification has started on device (CPU).

Verification has started on device (FPU).

CSTM> Verification of(FPU) has completed.

CSTM> Verification of(CPU) has completed.

4. Press Enter to return to the CSTM> prompt after all test results are reported.

5. To exit the Support Tools Manager, enter the following:

CSTM> exit Enter

If any tests failed, run Self Test and ISL diagnostics to isolate the problem.

Troubleshooting

Running ODE-Based Diagnostics


The Offline Diagnostic Environment (ODE) consists of diagnostic modules for testing and verifying system operation. ODE provides all the necessary functions for the user to load specified tests and interact with those tests.

ODE is an ISL utility. To boot ODE:

1. Invoke the ISL environment from the system disk or CD.

2. Type ode

Ente r after the ISL> prompt to invoke ODE from the LIF directory on the system disk. The prompt changes to ODE>.

Not all of the test modules are available on all systems. To see what test modules are available to run on this system, type ls at the ODE> prompt. The available modules include the following:

• wdiag – tests and verifies the basic functionality of the PA-RISC chip. This tool tests the

CPU, cache, TLB, and floating point functions.

• memtest – tests and verifies the memory arrays. If an error is detected, the diagnostic reports the memory card and its slot number that needs replacement. It also provides a map of the memory configuration so that the user can identify the types of memory and its slot location.

• mapper – identifies the configuration of HPPA systems. It displays path, identification, and revision information of I/O components, configuration of memory controllers, processors, co-processors, cache, and TLB, as well as processor board component revisions and values of various HPPA system identifiers, revisions, and capabilities.

• astrodiag – tests and verifies the basic functionality of the Astro memory/IO controller chip.

• siodiag – tests and verifies the functionality of the super IO multifunction IO chip, including serial, parallel, USB, and so forth.

For further information on the various ODE commands and a complete listing of the command set, type help Enter at the ODE> prompt or at the prompt of one of the test modules.

Using the PIM Dump Tool to Decode HPMCs

If the system HPMC and halts, the Boot Console Handler’s Service menu provides a PIM dump tool that can analyze the HPMC dump and attempt to decode it for analysis. It will point to the failing FRU or memory location if it is memory related. For information on using the Boot Console Handler, see Chapter 6.

This section explains how to remove and replace (install) a hard disk drive in the B2000 workstation. After replacing or installing a hard disk drive, be sure to follow the procedures in the section “Configuring a Hard Disk Drive as a File System” on page 33 to configure the hard disk drive.

The B2000 workstation can have a maximum of two hard disk drives. These internal hard disk drives are devices on the Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential SCSI bus. The hard disk drive that came with the workstation was set to SCSI ID 6 on the bus. If you are adding a second hard disk drive, the second hard disk drive will use SCSI ID 5. Note that the two slots for the hard disk drives have SCSI ID numbers 6 and 5 preassigned to them, and that SCSI ID 6 is the system disk. You will not be able to change these SCSI ID numbers.

CAUTION Hard disk drives are susceptible to mechanical and electrostatic shock. When handling the drive, always wear the static-grounding wrist strap that came in the hard disk drive kit. Always handle the drive carefully.

Removing a Hard Disk Drive

CAUTION To remove a hard disk drive, the workstation must be turned off.

NOTE There are no cables to disconnect when removing a hard disk drive.

NOTE If you are removing a hard disk drive that has a mounted file system on it, you will need to unmount it. This should be done before you remove the hard disk drive itself from the workstation.

To unmount a file system on a hard disk drive, follow the procedure in the section “Removing a Hard Disk Drive as a File System” on page 35.

Perform the following steps to remove a hard disk drive:

Fans

The B2000 has three fans, which are shown in Figure 4-50: I/O fan, system fan, and processor (turbocooler) fan. A chassis code in the workstation’s LCD which indicates that a fan has failed (FLT D01n) or is running too slowly (WRN D02n) within a B2000 workstation specifies the fan number, n. Figure 4-50 notes the number (n) for each fan. For more information on identifying either a fan that has failed or one that is running too slowly, see

“Fan Faults and Warnings” on page 48.

NOTE The processor fan (5) is mounted to the processor substrate on the system board tray assembly. Thus, the processor fan itself is not replaceable. If the

LCD indicates a processor fan failure (FLT D015), the entire system board tray assembly must be replaced. In this case, follow the procedures for removing and replacing the system board tray assembly starting on page 129.

Accessing the Boot Console Handler


If the workstation has crashed or power was turned off for some reason, press the power switch and proceed to step 3. Otherwise, to access the Boot Console Handler, follow these steps:

NOTE This procedure should be done by a system administrator or superuser with root login permissions.

1. Close any files and applications on the workstation.

2. Press the power switch on the front panel of the workstation.

NOTE There is no need to login as root and execute the shutdown -q command to shut down the HP-UX operating system on the workstation before powering it off. When you turn off the power switch, the workstation automatically shuts down the operating system before terminating the power.

Make sure you do not unplug the system’s power cord or otherwise interrupt power to the workstation at this time.

When the operating system has been properly shut down, the following message will appear:

Shutdown complete

3. Power on the workstation after the system has completely shut down.

If auto boot is turned off, the boot sequence automatically stops at the Boot Console

Handler’s Main Menu.

If auto boot is turned on, you will see the following message:

Processor is starting auto boot process. To discontinue, press any key within 10 seconds.

142 Chapter 6



If auto boot and auto search are both turned on, you will see the following message:

Processor is booting from first available device. To discontinue, press any key within 10 seconds.

NOTE If you are using a power-saving monitor, you will have less than 10 seconds from the time this message appears to press a key.

4. Press a key. You will then see the message:

Boot terminated

The Main Menu of the Boot Console Handler appears.

Chapter 6 143


Booting the Workstation


You usually start the system by turning it on and waiting for HP-UX to boot automatically.

However, you may not always want the usual boot sequence to occur.

For example, you may want to start the system from an operating system that is stored on a device that is different from the usual boot device. If the normal operating system kernel or the disk on which it resides becomes damaged or unusable, you may wish to boot from a different disk or perhaps another type of device, such as a CD drive.

Here are some possible booting scenarios you may encounter:

• If you know which device you want to boot from, and you know that it contains a bootable operating system, follow the directions in “Accessing the Boot Console

Handler” earlier in this chapter, and then type the following at the prompt:

Main Menu: Enter command > boot device where device is the hardware path to the device, specified in Mnemonic Style

Notation. For example, if you wish to boot an operating system that is stored on a

DDS-format tape drive that is located at the hardware path scsi.1.0, you would type the following command at the prompt and press Enter :

Main Menu: Enter command > boot scsi.1.0

• If you do not know which device or the hardware path for the device you want to boot from, then type the following at the prompt and press Enter :

Main Menu: Enter command > search

A message similar to the following will be displayed:

Path Number Device Path

--------------------------

P0

P1

IDE

SCSI.6.0

Device Type

-----------

TEAC CD-532E-B

SEAGATE ST39102LC

At the prompt, you might type the following and press

Enter

:

Main Menu: Enter command > boot P1

Note that the operating system on the specified device (P1) is used to boot the system

(also see the section “Searching for Bootable Media”).

144 Chapter 6



• If you wish to interact with the Initial System Loader (ISL) before booting the system, follow the directions in “Accessing the Boot Console Handler” earlier in this chapter, and then type the following at the prompt:

Main Menu: Enter command > boot device

The following prompt will appear:

Interact with ISL (Y,N,Q)>

Answering yes (Y) causes the ISL to be loaded from the specified device. After a short time, the following prompt appears on the screen:

ISL>

ISL is the program that actually controls the loading of the operating system. By interacting with ISL, you can choose to load an alternate version of the HP-UX operating system. If you do not want to interact with ISL, you must enter no (N).

For example, if the usual kernel (/stand/vmunix) on the root disk (scsi.6.0) has become corrupted, and you wish to boot the system from the backup kernel

(/stand/vmunix.prev), type the following at the ISL> prompt and press Enter :


• If you do not know which media in the file systems have bootable operating systems, you can find them with the search ipl command. See the next section, “Searching for

Bootable Media.”

Chapter 6 145




To list devices that contain bootable media, follow the directions in “Accessing the Boot

Console Handler” earlier in this chapter, and then type the following at the prompt and press Enter :

Main Menu: Enter command> search ipl

The search command searches all buses. The search may turn up more devices than there are lines on the display. If you are using a text terminal, you may control the progress of the search from the terminal’s keyboard by using these keystrokes:

Ctrl S Temporarily suspends the search.

Ctrl Q Continues the search.

Any Other Key Stops the search.

These flow-control keystrokes do not work with a bitmapped display, but such a display can show more than forty lines of text, so you are unlikely to need them.

To search for devices of just one type that actually contain bootable media, follow the directions in “Accessing the Boot Console Handler” earlier in this chapter, and then type the following at the prompt and press Enter :

Main Menu: Enter command> search ipl device_type where device_type is one of the following: scsi Is the built-in Ultra2 Wide LVD SCSI bus.

lan pci n

Is all connections to the built-in LAN.

Is an optional plug-in device in PCI slot number n.

ide disk

Is the built-in IDE bus.

Is all connections except LAN (for example, PCI cards, etc.)

146 Chapter 6

Main Menu: Enter command> path path_type path where path_type is one of the path types listed in Table 6-1 and path is the specification of the path in Mnemonic Style Notation (as described in Table 6-2). For example, to set the primary boot path to a SCSI disk with ID of 6.0, follow the directions in “Accessing the

Boot Console Handler” earlier in this chapter, and then type the following at the prompt and press Enter :

Main Menu: Enter command> path pri scsi.6.0

NOTE The default B2000 paths are: pri scsi.6.0

alt scsi.5.0

Chapter 6 149


Displaying and Setting the Monitor Type


The workstation ships from the factory preset to use a monitor with a specific resolution and frequency. If you replace the workstation’s monitor with a different type of monitor, you may have to reconfigure the system to support the new monitor.

The Monitor Command

The monitor command lets you change the system’s graphics configuration. This command is available in the Configuration Menu of the Boot Console Handler.

NOTE The monitor command lets you change the system’s graphics configuration before you replace a workstation’s monitor. For information about changing the configuration after you replace a monitor, refer to “Changing the Monitor

Type” in Chapter 4.

To display the current graphics and console information, type the following set of commands and press Enter at the prompt:

Main Menu: Enter command> configuration

Configuration Menu: Enter command> monitor

The correct usage for setting the graphics configuration is: monitor graphics_path type where valid graphics_path parameters are: graphics(0) Built-in (or core) graphics adapter (primary slot) graphics(1) Graphics adapter installed in slot 1 (secondary slot) graphics(2) Graphics adapter installed in slot 2 graphics(3) Graphics adapter installed in slot 3 graphics(4) Graphics adapter installed in slot 4 and type is the numerical monitor type. See “Setting the Monitor Type” in a subsequent section for a list of types. For example, an HP V ISUALIZE -fxe graphics card (A4982A) installed in option slot 2 would be graphics(2). Note that you can have graphics(0) through graphics(4) for the graphics_path.

Modify Monitor window’s OK button. A pop-up window will appear to confirm the monitor type selection. Press the Yes button in that pop-up window. This causes the monitor to reset, possibly hiding existing windows. You will then be given 15 seconds after the monitor type changes to configure this setting. Press the OK button to configure the setting. This completes the process for setting the monitor type. Note that this change takes effect immediately.

10.Connect the monitor cable to the graphics card you selected, and the screen contents will appear. You are now done selecting the monitor type.

Setting the Monitor Type at Power On

If you replace the workstation’s monitor with a different monitor type, you need to let the workstation’s firmware know you made this change. To do this, reboot the system and use either the automatic monitor selection process or the Boot Console Handler’s monitor command. The monitor command is described in the section “Setting the Monitor Type” in this chapter. The automatic monitor selection process is described in this section.

Once you have rebooted the system by turning it off, wait for a short time for the hard disk drive’s disk to stop spinning. Next, turn the workstation on and watch for the Num Lock light to come on.

NOTE It takes a short amount of time (approximately 40 seconds) after powering on the workstation before the Num Lock light comes on.

Wait two seconds after the Num Lock light comes on, which is near the end of the boot sequence, then press Tab to initiate the automatic monitor selection process. If the screen remains blank after two minutes of waiting for something to be displayed, see the section

“Troubleshooting Monitor Problems” in this chapter. Otherwise, if you see information similar to the following displayed on the screen and it is the correct monitor type, press the

Enter key to select it.

Path Slot Head Type Size Freq Class

---------- ---------- ------------ --------

GRAPHICS(0) 0 1 n nnnnxnnnn nnHz VESA

Press [Return] to select this monitor type (type n of n types).

Note that if you do not select this monitor type, the system cycles through a limited number of monitor types one at a time until you find one that meets your needs.

154 Chapter 6



Once you have made the monitor type selection, the system queries you to confirm the selection. Press Y to save this monitor type.

If you press any key other than Y , the following message is displayed:

Monitor type not saved.

At this point, the new monitor type is active, but not saved. Because you did not save the monitor type, the next time you reboot the system the original monitor type will be used.

Next, the following message is displayed:

To select a new Graphics Monitor Type press the <TAB> key now, otherwise EXIT by entering any other key (or will time out in 15 seconds)...

To restart the monitor selection process, press Tab .

Troubleshooting Monitor Problems

In the event that the console stops displaying to the graphics device, use the following procedure to set the console for displaying to an external terminal.

Here are the steps to follow:

1. Turn off the workstation.

2. Disconnect the workstation’s keyboard connector from the rear panel.

3. Connect a serial terminal emulator to the Serial 1 connector (the left serial connector) on the system rear panel. Configure the terminal for: 9600 baud, No Stop Bits, No

Parity, 8 Bits.

4. Power on the system. The system will now display the console to the terminal connected to Serial 1 port. Note that you can use a 9-pin to 9-pin serial cable (HP F1044-80002) to connect an HP OmniBook serial port to the workstation.

5. Set the monitor type and path using the Boot Console Handler. For information on doing this see the section “Setting the Monitor Type with SAM.”

Chapter 6 157


Setting the Auto Boot and Auto Search Flags

Setting the Auto Boot and Auto Search Flags

The auto boot and auto search flags are variables stored in the system’s nonvolatile memory. (Nonvolatile memory retains its contents even after power is turned off.) If you reset these flags to new values, the change takes effect the next time you reboot the workstation.

The auto boot flag boots the operating system whenever the workstation is turned on.

If auto boot is set to on, the system automatically attempts to boot the operating system when turned on. If auto boot is set to off, the system enters the boot administration mode of the Boot Console Handler’s user interface.

The state of the auto search flag determines how the system seeks a boot device during auto boot. If auto search is set to on, the system will search for other boot devices if the primary boot device is not available. If auto search is off, the system will default to the boot administration mode if it can’t see the primary boot device.

To examine the state of the auto boot and auto search flags, type the following at the prompt and press Enter :

Configuration Menu: Enter command> auto

To change the state of the auto boot or auto search flags, type the following at the prompt and press Enter:

Configuration Menu: Enter command> auto boot state or

Configuration Menu: Enter command> auto search state where state is on or off.

The auto search command searches for devices in the following order:

Primary boot path (can be set by the user)

Alternate boot path (can be set by the user)

PCI 1 through PCI 4 (plug-in interface cards)

Low-voltage differential SCSI (built-in)

LAN (built-in)

IDE (built-in)

158 Chapter 6


Displaying and Setting the Security Mode

Displaying and Setting the Security Mode

The secure flag is a variable stored in non-volatile memory. (Non-volatile memory retains its contents even after power is turned off.) If you reset this flag to a new value, the change takes effect the next time you reboot the workstation.

When the secure flag is set to on, auto boot and auto search are enabled and cannot be stopped. The system boots from the default boot paths regardless of user intervention.

Note that the secure command must be executed from within the Boot Console Handler.

To get into the Boot Console Handler, follow the procedure in the section “Accessing the

Boot Console Handler” earlier in this chapter. Once the Main Menu is present, you can type the following command at the prompt and press Enter :

Main Menu: Enter command > configuration

From the Configuration Menu, you can execute the secure command and preform the subsequent tasks in this section.

To display the current setting for the secure flag, type the following command at the prompt and press Enter :

Configuration Menu: Enter command > secure

To set the secure flag on, type the following command at the prompt and press Enter :

Configuration Menu: Enter command > secure on

To set the secure flag off, you need to disconnect the boot disk to interrupt the boot-up sequence and force the prompt to the Boot Console Handler. Next, type the following command at the prompt and press Enter :

Configuration Menu: Enter command > secure off

Chapter 6 159


Displaying and Setting Fastboot Mode

Displaying and Setting Fastboot Mode

When fastboot is enabled (set to on), the system does a quick check of the memory and skips I/O interface testing during its power-on self tests. This enables the system to complete its boot process quicker. The default factory setting is for fastboot to be enabled

(set to on). Note that fastboot can be set using the Boot Console Handler’s Configuration

Menu.

When fastboot is disabled (set to off), more extensive memory testing and I/O interface testing is performed during the self tests, causing the boot process to take longer.

If you are experiencing difficulty in booting the system, set fastboot to off and reboot the system. More extensive testing may reveal the error condition.

To display the status of fastboot, type the following at the prompt and press Enter :

Configuration Menu: Enter command> fastboot

To disable fastboot, type the following at the prompt and press Enter :

Configuration Menu: Enter command> fastboot off

To enable fastboot, type the following at the prompt and press Enter :

Configuration Menu: Enter command> fastboot on

160 Chapter 6


Displaying the LAN Station Address

Displaying the LAN Station Address

It is sometimes necessary to supply the LAN station address of the workstation to other users. For example, if the workstation is to become a member of a cluster, the cluster administrator needs to know the LAN station address in order to add the workstation to the cluster. Note that the LAN station address can be determined using the Boot Console

Handler’s Information Menu.

A LAN station address for the workstation is the label that uniquely identifies the LAN connection for the workstation at the link level (the hardware level).

To display the workstation’s LAN station addresses, type the following at the prompt and press Enter :

Information Menu: Enter command> lanaddress

The LAN station address is displayed as a twelve-digit number in hexadecimal notation, similar to the following:

LAN Station Address: 001083-000429

The address is for the system’s built-in LAN.

The pim command allows you to display the most recent PIM information for the specified fault type. To display PIM information for a specific fault, from the Service Menu, type the following at the prompt and press Enter :

Service Menu: Enter command > pim processor_number fault_type

You can use pim in the following ways:

pim - No arguments for the pim command returns the HPMC information for processor 0

pim 0 - HPMC information on processor 0

pim 0 fault_type - fault type information on processor 0 where fault_type is HPMC (high priority machine check), LPMC (low priority machine check), or TOC (transfer of control).

Stable Storage

Stable storage is non-volatile memory associated with the PA-RISC processor module.

Stable storage is used by the processor (CPU) to store:

• Device path information

• The state of the boot flags

• HPMC error information

• Operating system initialization data

162 Chapter 6


ISL Environment

ISL Environment

The ISL environment provides the means to load the operating system (HP-UX) environment. The ISL environment also provides an offline platform to execute optional diagnostic and utility programs from a boot device when HP-UX does not load.

The ISL program is the first program loaded into main memory from an external medium

(LAN, disk, or tape) and launched by the initial program loader (IPL) routine from the

Boot Administration environment.

The ISL environment provides the following capabilities:

• Execute user-entered commands to modify boot device paths and boot options in stable storage.

• Run offline diagnostic programs and utilities

• Provide automatic booting of the HP-UX operating system after power-on or reset

Invoking ISL from the Boot Console Handler

Perform the following steps to invoke ISL from the Boot Console Handler:

1. Follow the directions in “Accessing the Boot Console Handler” on page 142, and then type the following at the prompt and press Enter :

Main Menu: Enter command > boot device

You are prompted:

Interact with ISL (Y, N, or Q) > y

2. Answering yes (y) causes the ISL to be loaded from the specified device. After a short time, the following prompt appears on the screen:

ISL>

ISL is the program that actually controls the loading of the operating system. By interacting with ISL, you can choose to load an alternate version of the HP-UX operating system.

For example, if the usual kernel (/stand/vmunix) on the root disk (scsi.6.0) has become corrupted, and you wish to boot the workstation from the backup kernel

(/stand/vmunix.prev), type the following at the ISL> prompt and press Enter :


Chapter 6 163


ISL Environment

ISL User Commands

The following commands available in the ISL environment allow you to display and modify the boot characteristics of the system.

• help - lists ISL command menu and available utilities.

• display - displays the boot and console paths in Stable Storage and the current setting of the ISL Boot Flags.

• primpath - modifies the primary boot path entry in Stable Storage. The entry in Stable

Storage for the primary boot device begins at byte address 0 and ends at 31.

• altpath - modifies the alternate boot path entry in Stable Storage. The entry for the alternate boot device begins at byte address 128 and ends at 159.

• conspath - modifies the console path entry in Stable Storage. The console device begins at byte address 96 and ends at byte address 127. The entry for the keyboard and mouse devices begins at byte address 160 and ends at 191.

• listautofl or lsautofl - lists the contents of the (HP-UX) autoboot file.

• support - boots the Support Tape from the boot device.

• readss - displays 4 bytes (one word) from Stable Storage. The readss command requires a decimal number between 0 and 255 to address four bytes in Stable Storage.

Obtaining and Updating System Firmware


To update a system’s firmware, obtain the firmware patch from the patch server website at one of the following URLs: http://us-external_support.hp.com

http://europe-external_support.hp.com

The patch file is a combined shar’ed file that contains an ASCII cataloging file, a readme type ASCII file, and the firmware LIF binary file. The LIF volume is bootable to ODE, which in turn runs the UPDATER utility to download the firmware image files.

To identify the current version of the firmware on the system to be updated, re-boot the system and do the following:

1. Interrupt the boot process and, from the Boot Console Handler prompt, type

<information> and press Enter .

2. Identify the firmware revision. The last two digits in the patch name indicate the revision.

To install the firmware update, follow the directions in the readme file.

A new method to update the PA8500/8600 workstation system firmware is available

January 2000 as an OS patch. The initial patch is PHSS_19794 on HP-UX 10.20 ACE 9912 and PHSS_20146 on HP-UX 11.00 containing revision 3.1 system firmware. It will be superceded with higher revision firmware patches as they are released. You can find the patches by searching for firmware patch on the OS patch site.

Perform the installation by using swinstall and following the installation process. This will cause a reboot to flash the firmware update and then another reboot to initialize the system hardware with the new firmware revision. This process has the advantage of starting the installation from the operating system, requires no special hardware such as a

DAT tape, and requires no user intervention other than waiting for the two reboots.
