[parisc-linux] Console on HP 9000 E55

[parisc-linux] Console on HP 9000 E55

[Jean-marc Harang]

Hello,

Up to now, the server successfully boots on the original HP-UX. But we have no
access to any console on MDP 9-pin DB9. The other connector called DDP is not
equiped with the patch panel :/. 

Any hint to access to serial console ?


Thanks,

jm. Harang

I use the APMUX port (the only one on the E55 I/O board), with the cable ref
A1703-63009. At one end with high-density connector for APMUX and at the ot=
her
ends one DB9 called MDP and something like big centronics called DDP (for t=
he
patch panel i don't own). So i try the MDP port without result.

Thanks

Hello,

I think, you miss an important thing !

I also have an E55 with an MDP panel, the thing having 8xDB25 ports
(8x RS232). This MDP panel has a 9-pin connector as connection to the
E55. So this 9-pin connector seems to be a "high"-speed bus for all
8 serial ports !

So you really need a MDP or DDP panel to connect the up to 16 serial
ports.

I do not know another way ....

BTW, how do you boot the HP-UX ?
Blind ?
Only use is per telnet/rsh after it is up ?
