are chosen the OS may fail to boot or will boot with output directed to the wrong location.
Therefore, any time new potential console devices are added to the system or anytime NVRAM
on the system is cleared console selections should be reviewed to ensure that they are correct.
Configuring the Server for HP-UX Installation
Installation of the HP-UX operating system requires the server hardware to have a specific
configuration. If the server’s rootcell value is incorrectly set an install of HP-UX will fail.
To verify and set the proper rootcell value:
1.
At the EFI Shell interface prompt enter the rootcell command with no arguments. The current
value for rootcell will be displayed. If the value is ‘1’ continue with installing HP-UX.
2.
To set the rootcell value to ‘1’, at the EFI Shell interface prompt, enter ‘rootcell 1’.
3.
At the EFI Shell interface prompt, enter reset to save the new rootcell value.
4.
Continue with installation of HP-UX.
Booting the Server
Power on the server either by pressing the power switch on the front panel or by using the
PE
command to power on the cabinet or complex at the management processor Command Menu.
If you are using a LAN crossover cable with the laptop, review server activity for each partition
configured while the server powers on and boots. You can open Windows for the complex and
for each partition. HP recommends that at least two windows be opened:
1.
A window showing all activity in the complex. Following the installation procedure in this
document causes a window to be open at startup.
To display activity for the complex:
1.
Open a separate Reflection window and connect to the MP.
2.
From the MP Main Menu, select the
VFP

2.
A window showing activity for a single partition.
To display activity for each partition as it powers on:
1.
Open a separate Reflection window and connect to the MP.
2.
Select the
VFP
command and select the desired partition to view.
There should be no activity on the screen at this point in the installation process.
NOTE:
You cannot open more than one window using a serial display device.
To power on the server:
1.
At the
MP:CM>
prompt, use the PE
X
command to power on the complex, or the PE
T
command for each cabinet. The following events occur:
•
Power is applied to the server.
•
Processor-dependent code (PDC) starts to run on each cell.
•
The cell self-test executes.
•
Hardware initializes for the server.
•
Console communication is established.
2.
After the cell has joined the partition or after boot is blocked (BIB) is displayed at the Virtual
Front Panel (VFP), return to the MP Main Menu by pressing
Ctrl+B
