Console settings affect the information that you see on the IRC. In HP-UX, if you modify the console
settings in EFI to graphics, the modivication affects the IRC as follows:
• If you set VGA-Primary and Serial-Not Configured in EFI, the IRC is a system console. If you
configure HP-UX to start X Windows, IRC also acts as an X terminal.
• If you set Serial-Primary and VGA-Not Configured in EFI, the IRC is only an X terminal.
In all cases, the EFI console is available on the remote serial console as well as the IRC. But, the
OS console for HP-UX appears according to the device settings in EFI.
If an HP-UX operating system is configured to use VGA as the console, the HP-UX console is
available only through the IRC and VGA. iLO 2 no longer receives HP-UX console traffic through
the serial connection. The remote serial console data stream stops, so:
• Serial cable, SSH, Telnet, and remote serial console through the web do not provide the HP-UX
console.
• The console log in iLO 2 does not contain any HP-UX console output.
• The HP-UX console is only available from iLO 2 through the IRC application.
For instructions on how to configure the system console to use VGA, see the HP-UX 11i v3 Installation
and Update Guide on the HP website at http://docs.hp.com/en/5992-5795/index.html and
follow the instructions on Task 1: Selecting Your HP-UX Console for Itanium-based Systems.
Enabling X Windows on HP-UX
You can use the IRC to access the graphics display not only when X Windows is running, but also
before X Windows starts.
Typically, X Windows is disabled by default on HP-UX. For instructions on enabling X Windows
using the graphics application through the IRC, see the graphics administration guide for HP-UX
servers on the HP website at http://docs.hp.com/en/5992-5398/5992-5398.pdf.
Accessing the IRC
Figure 23 shows the IRC page.
IMPORTANT: The operating system server console output does not display on the console device
screen until the server boots to the EFI Shell. To view console output prior to booting to the EFI
Shell, either start a console session using the console serial port (RS-232), or access iLO 2 virtual
serial port, or IRC. See“Configuring the iLO 2 MP LAN Using the Console Serial Port” (page 37).
NOTE: Depending on your server, this page might look slightly different.
