Configuring the Remote Console
Configuring the Remote Console
This section describes the correct configuration for the 99x remote console. The remote
console port is used by the Response Center to view the contents of the support processor.
HP Predictive can also use this port when it is correctly configured.
NOTE MPE/iX 5.0 and later releases should have LDEV 21 properly set for the
remote console, so you should not have to perform this procedure.
Earlier releases may or may not have LDEV 21 properly set.
The Problem
The former default configuration for LDEV 21 specified an HPC2204A "Bifocus" disk drive.
Since remote console and HP Predictive Support can use LDEV 21 as the dial up port, it is
important for this port to be configured correctly. The default configuration will cause
Predictive Support to abort with the following error messages on the console:
CTL(17) Cannot FOPEN port on LDEV 21 (FSERR 56)
CTL(7)
Terminating Transfer Attempt
To fix this, the default configuration for LDEV 21 for the 99x has to be changed to
HP28639-60001 console terminal.
Procedure
To change an improper configuration for LDEV 21:
1. Call up the SYSGEN program:
: SYSGEN
2. Activate the IO Configurator by entering:
sysgen> IO
