HP-UX 11i v3 Installation and Update Guide, September 2009 (Update 5 Release)

1 P Serial Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1|2)
2 S VGA Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,0)/Pci(4|0)
The above is an example of factory defaults. As you will see later in these
steps, one of these devices will have to be configured as “primary” (P); the
other will have to be configured with a status of “Not Configured” (NC).
• If the command does not exist, the system will return the error message:
conconfig not found.
2. Depending on whether the conconfig command is available at the EFI shell, use
either the conconfig command or the EFI Boot Manager to select your primary
HP-UX console.
Using the conconfig command to select the primary HP-UX console
If you have the conconfig command on your system, then you can take the following
steps to select the primary HP-UX console. (For more information on the conconfig
command, enter help conconfig at the EFI prompt.)
IMPORTANT: Do not select more than one console device. HP-UX 11i v3 recognizes
only one device at a time. Choosing more than one device can result in the appearance
of a system hang. A warning message may also be issued.
1. Enter conconfig at the command line. You may see output similar to the
following:
CONSOLE CONFIGURATION
Index Primary Type Device Path
1 P Serial Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1|2)
2 NC VGA Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,0)/Pci(4|0)
2. Decide which console you want to use.
Depending on your system configuration, HP-UX can use one of the following
devices as your system console:
• System Serial Port (if present)
• iLO (MP) Serial Port
• VGA device (MP/iLO)
3. Use the conconfig command to select your primary console. For example, to
select “system serial port” as your primary console, enter the following at the
command line:
Shell> conconfig 1 primary
