operating system will not boot-up, and a DIMM error chassis code will appear
in the LCD. If an error does occur, refer to Chapter 3, “Troubleshooting.”
Memory Failures
The HP VISUALIZE B2000 system (with HP-UX 10.20 and later) uses Memory Page
Deallocation, a feature that allows the system to provide information to the operating
system about memory failures.
You can use the memrpt command with the detail switch to obtain information about the
Memory Page Deallocation Table (PDT) as well as single bit errors logged by the system,
by typing the following:
# /usr/sbin/sysdiag Enter
DUI>logtool Enter
LOGTOOL>memrpt detail Enter
The PDT can also be checked using the pdt command in the Service menu of the Boot
Console Handler (refer to Chapter 6). If you replace a defective DIMM, use the Service
Menu’s pdt clear command to clear out the PDT.

System Hardware Configurations

This section provides information for setting up or changing the configuration of the Field
Replaceable Units (FRUs) for the B2000 workstation.
Internal Storage Devices
Hard Disk Drive Configuration

The SCSI IDs for hard disk drives are hard-wired into the SCA Ultra2 Wide LVD SCSI
interfaces on the system board within the B2000 workstation. Hence, SCSI IDs do not need
to be set for the hard disk drives (up to two) installed in this workstation. From top to
bottom, the pre-set SCSI IDs for hard disk drives are: 6 and 5.
Similarly, no jumpers are installed at the factory, nor is any jumper installation required at
the customer’s site, on the hard disk drive model supported with the B2000 workstation.
To remove and replace or install a hard disk drive, see the section titled “Hard Disk
Drives” on page 104. Also see the next subsection, “Configuring a Hard Disk Drive as a File
System,” when removing or installing a hard disk drive.

CD Drive Configuration
The CD drive connects to the ATAPI (IDE) interface in the CD drive bay backplane within
the B2000 workstation via a 40-pin ribbon cable, a 4-pin audio cable, and a 4-pin power
cable. No interface addressing is required for the CD drive.
However, as shown in Figure 2-1, the CD drive should have a jumper set on the CSEL
(Cable Select) selection pins. (The CD drive should ship from the factory already jumpered
for CSEL.)
CAUTION CD drives are susceptible to mechanical and electrostatic shock. When

handling the drive, always wear the static-grounding wrist strap that came in
the CD drive kit. Always handle the drive carefully.

Chapter 2 37
Configuration
Memory
The B2000 workstation has 4 memory slots, labeled SL0 through SL3. Memory can be
configured from 256 MB to 2 GB for the B2000 workstation. Memory does not have to be
configured in pairs for the B2000, but must be loaded in the order shown in Figure 2-2.
Notice the alternating load pattern by location on the system board.
Figure 2-2. Memory Slot Numbers and Loading Sequence
SL0 Load 1st

Memory Slots
SL3 Load 4th
(4 Slots)
SL1 Load 2nd
SL2 Load 3rd
The B2000 workstation supports 128 MB, 256 MB, and 512 MB DIMMs. If you will install
different sizes of memory DIMMs in a particular workstation, load the largest size first
and then the smaller size for maximum performance. For example, load a 256 MB DIMM
in slot 0 (SL0) and then load a 128 MB DIMM in slot 1 (SL1).
CAUTION The memory DIMMs must be installed in the correct order, else the
workstation will not boot properly.
NOTE Users who wish to achieve both maximum performance and maximum future
capacity are advised to use 512 MB DIMMs exclusively.
To remove DIMMs, see the section titled “Removing Memory DIMMs” on page 114. To
replace or install DIMMs, see the section titled “Replacing or Installing Additional
Memory DIMMs” on page 115. Note that there is a system label on the floor of the
workstation’s interior showing the memory loading order for the B2000.
Use the Boot Console Handler to verify that the workstation recognizes the installed
memory. See “Displaying the Current Memory Configuration” on page 156.
38 Chapter 2
Configuration
I/O Cards
The B2000 workstation’s system board has four Peripheral Connect Interface (PCI) slots
for option I/O cards. Slots 1 and 2 are full-size (PCI-2X) slots. Slots 3 and 4 are half-size
(PCI-1X) slots. See Figure 2-3 for a brief description of slot capabilities.
Figure 2-3. PCI Card Slot Numbering and Capabilities
Slot 1 64-bits, 5V, 33MHz
To remove and replace or install I/O cards, see the section titled “I/O Cards” on page 110.
NOTE If you are installing an additional HP VISUALIZE-fxe graphics card, after you
connect the monitor to the additional graphics card, you must change the
graphics path for that monitor. To do this, see the section “Displaying and
Setting the Monitor Type” on page 150.
Chapter 2 39
Configuration
Monitor-Type Selection
The B2000 workstation supports monitors set to one of the following resolutions:
• 1280×1024 color (stereo capable), 75Hz, VESA
• 1600×1200 color, 75Hz, VESA
• 1280×1024 color, 75 Hz, VESA
The workstation must have either an HP-supported monitor running at 75 Hz with a
1280×1024 resolution, or a full multi-mode color monitor. Monitors with EVC, D-Sub, or 5
BNC connectors (RGB, vertical sync, horizontal sync) will function.
NOTE The HP VISUALIZE-fxe graphics card will not function with older HP monitor
types that use a sync on green signal. This includes monitors such as the
HP 1097A/B/C/D, A2088A, and A2828A/B that only have 3 BNC connectors.
Note that you can connect the B2000 workstation to earlier HP monitors with 15-pin
miniature D-Sub cables using the A4168A adapter shipped with the workstation’s
accessory kit.
The monitor type does not have to change since the B2000 workstation is set up to
support the monitors listed above. However, if for some reason the monitor type needs to
change, refer to Chapter 6, “Boot Console Handler.”

• Identifying LCD-Indicated Conditions
• Fan Faults and Warnings
• Dealing with a Boot Failure
• Selftest Failures
• Memory Failures
• Running System Verification Tests
• Running ODE-Based Diagnostics
• Using the PIM Dump Tool to Decode HPMCs
To troubleshoot an HP VISUALIZE B2000 workstation, you must be familiar with the

HP-UX operating system. You should also be familiar with the boot ROM diagnostics and
the Mesa (Support Tools Manager) online tests, which we describe in this chapter.
As a super-user who is troubleshooting an HP-UX system, you should be able to shutdown
and reboot a system, start and stop processes, and examine error logs. You should also be
able to use systems utilities such as ioscan to check device files and configurations,
swlist to show loaded patches and software bundles, and SAM to configure and show
enabled services and configurations. You should also be familiar with STM, the online
diagnostics tool. You can view man pages on any of these online utilities or commands.
Note any error or status messages, then run the power-up boot ROM diagnostics, known as
Self Test. If the Self Test diagnostics fail, replace the FRU that is indicated. If the tests
pass, but you still suspect a problem, run the ISL diagnostics and Mesa (Support Tools
Manager) online tests.
For a complete description of using ISL diagnostics and Mesa (Support Tools Manager),
refer to the following website URL:
http://wojo.rose.hp.com/
Flowcharts for Troubleshooting

The following four figures contain troubleshooting flowcharts you can follow to isolate a
failing Field Replaceable Unit (FRU). Figure 3-1 contains the main (power on LCD)

Identifying LCD-Indicated Conditions
Identifying LCD-Indicated Conditions

The B2000 workstation uses an LCD panel to display firmware/OS progress codes. The
codes, referred to as chassis codes, consist of one of the mnemonics listed below, followed by
a 4-digit hexadecimal number identifying the code module being executed. The mnemonics
and their meanings are:
FLT A hardware error has been detected
TST Hardware being tested
INI Hardware being initialized
SHU System being shutdown
WRN A non-optimal or unusual operating condition exists
RUN Computer is running operating system
In general, the LCD display has the following format:
MMM CCCC: FFFFFF Line 1
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Line 2
MMM Three-character chassis code mnemonic

CCCC Four-digit hexadecimal code
FFFFFF Six-character Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) description
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Description of the chassis code
If the system encounters an FLT code while the system is booting, the FLT code is
interpreted and a message is displayed. For example, you may have information similar to
the following in the LCD:
FLT Three-character chassis code mnemonic
30FC Four-digit hexadecimal code
SYS BD Six-character Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) description
bad sys bd id Description of the chassis code
Chapter 3 47
Troubleshooting
Fan Faults and Warnings

This section provides the fault (FLT) and warning (WRN) messages you will see in the LCD if
there is a problem with a fan in the B2000 workstation.
A chassis code which indicates that a fan has failed (FLT D01n) or is running too slowly
(WRN D02n) within a B2000 workstation specifies the fan number, n. Table 3-1 lists the fan
numbers and their names. To locate the correct fan, see Figure 3-5 on the next page.
Table 3-1. Fan Numbers and Corresponding Names
Fan Number (n) Name of the Fan
2 I/O fan
4 System fan

Here is an example of a fault message for the system fan (4):
FLT D014 SYS BD

fan 4: failure!
Here is an example of a warning message for the processor fan (5):
WRN D025 SYS BD

fan 5: too slow!

In the case of a fan problem, you will need to replace:

• The fan itself, if it is either an I/O fan (2) or a system fan (4).
• The entire system board tray assembly, if it is a processor fan (5) (that is, the fan
mounted on the PA-RISC microprocessor on the system board).
See Chapter 4 for the procedures you should follow to remove and replace a fan.
Chapter 3 49
Troubleshooting
Dealing with a Boot Failure

To start this workstation from an operating system stored on a device different from the
usual boot device, to boot from a different disk, or to boot from another type of device (such
as an alternate hard disk or CD), see the following situations and examples that use the
Boot Console Handler. To access the Boot Console Handler, see Chapter 6.
• To boot from a known device containing a bootable operating system, type the following
at the prompt and press Enter:
Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu > boot device
where device is the hardware path to the device, specified in Mnemonic Style Notation
For example, to boot an operating system stored on a DDS-format tape in a drive
located at “scsi.1.0,” go to the Main Menu of the Boot Console Interface and then type
the following command at the prompt and press Enter:
Main Menu: Enter a command > boot scsi.1.0
The operating system on the specified device is used to start the workstation.
• To interact with the Initial System Loader (ISL) before booting the workstation, type
the following at the prompt and press Enter:
Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu > boot device
You are prompted: Interact with ISL (Y or N) > y
Answering yes (y) causes the ISL to be loaded from the specified device. After a short
time, the following prompt appears on the screen:
ISL>
ISL is the program that actually controls the loading of the operating system. By
interacting with ISL, you can choose to load an alternate version of the HP-UX
operating system.
For example, if the usual kernel (/stand/vmunix for HP-UX 10.20) on the root disk
(scsi.6.0) has become corrupted, boot the workstation from the backup kernel
(/stand/vmunix.prev for HP-UX 10.20) by typing the following at the ISL> prompt
and press Enter:
ISL> hpux /stand/vmunix.prev
• To find the location of the bootable operating systems on the various media in the file
system, use the search ipl command.
50 Chapter 3
Troubleshooting
Searching for Bootable Media

To list all devices that may contain bootable media, go to the Main Menu of the Boot
Console Interface and then type the following at the prompt:
Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu > search ipl
The search may turn up more devices than there are lines on the display. If using a text
terminal, you can control the progress of the search from the terminal’s keyboard by
performing the following steps:
• To hold the display temporarily, press Ctrl S
• To continue the display, press Ctrl Q
• To halt the search, press Esc
These flow-control commands do not work with a bitmapped display, but such a display can
show more than forty lines of text, so they are unnecessary.
To search for devices of just one type that actually contain bootable media, go to the Main
Menu of the Boot Console Interface and then type the following at the prompt:
Main Menu: Enter a command > search ipl device_type
where device_type is one of the following:
• scsi is the built-in fast, Ultra2 Wide LVD (Low Voltage Differential) SCSI bus.
• lan is all connections to the built-in LAN.
• ide is the built-in CD drive.
• pcin is an optional plug-in device in PCI slot number n.
• disk is any bootable device other than LAN.
Stable Storage
Stable Storage is non-volatile memory associated with each PA-RISC processor module.
Stable storage is used by the processor (CPU) to store device path information, the state of
the boot flags, HPMC error information, and operating system initialization data.
Chapter 3 51
Troubleshooting
Boot Command Notations

The boot command supports the following two notations:
• Mnemonic
• Path number
Type help scsi or help lan for more information on the boot path parameters.
Here are examples of mnemonic notation:
• boot with no parameters selects the primary boot path in stable storage.
• boot with the alternate or alt parameter selects the alternate boot path in stable
storage.
Here is an example of path number notation:
• boot p1 attempts to boot from the second path in a list generated by a previous search
command.
Supported Boot Paths

SCSI devices are bootable when connected to the SCSI port on the system. Diskless
workstations can only boot from the LAN port on the system board. The workstation can
be booted from the CD-ROM for software installation.
ISL Environment
The ISL environment provides the means to load the operating system (HP-UX)
environment. The ISL environment also provides an off-line platform to execute diagnostic
and utility programs from a boot device when HP-UX does not load.
The ISL program is the first program loaded into main memory from an external media
(LAN, disk, or tape) and launched by the initial program loader (IPL) routine during the
Boot Administration environment.
The ISL environment provides the following capabilities:
• Execute user-entered commands to modify boot device paths and boot options in stable
storage.
• Run off-line diagnostic programs and utilities.
• Provide automatic booting of the HP-UX operating system after power-on or reset.
The ISL program provides a stand-alone environment for loading off-line diagnostic and
utility programs from the LIF directory. The ISL program also provides user commands to
configure the boot parameters into Stable Storage.
52 Chapter 3
Troubleshooting
Selftest Failures
Selftest Failures
Chassis codes are the key to debugging selftest errors. If a failure is found during selftest,
chassis codes are displayed in the LCD. The procedure for using these codes to debug a
failure is as follows:
1. Using Table 3-2, which starts on the next page, find the chassis code listed on the LCD.
2. To get additional information about failures from the Boot Console Handler, use the
Service Menu’s pim, pdt, and ChassisCodes commands.
In the following table, the FRU column shows messages printed on the LCD that refer to
system FRUs. Only FLT codes have FRUs associated with them. Some WRN codes are also
device specific, especially to IODC calls; for example, 8xxx codes. TST and INI codes do not
necessarily correspond to any FRU. All codes are listed in numeric order.
NOTE Because the B2000 workstation is a single-board system, references to the

I/O BD (I/O board) in chassis codes displayed on the LCD and listed in Table
3-2 are actually references to the SYS BD (system board).

Memory Failures
Memory Failures
The B2000 system implements Memory Page Deallocation. This feature allows the
workstation to provide information to the operating system about memory failures.
HP-UX 10.20 uses information to map out failing memory areas and continue normal
operation. You can use the command memrpt with the detail switch to obtain information
about the Memory Page Deallocation Table (PDT) as well as single-bit errors logged by the
system, as follows:
# /usr/sbin/sysdiag Enter
DUI > logtool Enter
LOGTOOL> memrpt detail Enter
The PDT can also be checked using the pdt command in the Service menu of the Boot
Console Handler (refer to Chapter 6).
For allowable memory configurations, see the “Memory” section on page 38.

Running System Verification Tests
Running System Verification Tests

HP-UX uses an online diagnostics product named Mesa (Support Tools Manager) that
allows system operation verification.
Three interfaces are available with the Support Tools Manager:
• A command line interface accessed through the cstm command
• A menu-driven interface accessed through the mstm command
• A graphical user interface accessed through the xstm command
For more information on these user interfaces, see the online man pages by entering the
following at a command line prompt:
man cstm Enter
man mstm Enter
man xstm Enter
For information on the enhanced online diagnostics, see the Support Media User’s Manual
(HP Part Number B3782-90176).
To access the Support Tools Manager, perform the following steps:
1. In a terminal window, type the following at the # prompt to invoke the command line
interface:
# cstm Enter
2. The following message appears:
Support Tools Manager Version A.01.00
Type help for a list of available commands:
CSTM> help Enter
3. To verify the system operation, type the following at the CSTM> prompt:
CSTM> verify all Enter
Messages similar to the following appear:
Verification has started on device (CPU).
Verification has started on device (FPU).
CSTM> Verification of(FPU) has completed.
CSTM> Verification of(CPU) has completed.
4. Press Enter to return to the CSTM> prompt after all test results are reported.
5. To exit the Support Tools Manager, enter the following:
CSTM> exit Enter
If any tests failed, run Self Test and ISL diagnostics to isolate the problem.

Troubleshooting
Running ODE-Based Diagnostics

The Offline Diagnostic Environment (ODE) consists of diagnostic modules for testing and
verifying system operation. ODE provides all the necessary functions for the user to load
specified tests and interact with those tests.
ODE is an ISL utility. To boot ODE:
1. Invoke the ISL environment from the system disk or CD.
2. Type ode Enter after the ISL> prompt to invoke ODE from the LIF directory on the
system disk. The prompt changes to ODE>.
Not all of the test modules are available on all systems. To see what test modules are
available to run on this system, type ls at the ODE> prompt. The available modules include
the following:
• wdiag – tests and verifies the basic functionality of the PA-RISC chip. This tool tests the
CPU, cache, TLB, and floating point functions.
• memtest – tests and verifies the memory arrays. If an error is detected, the diagnostic
reports the memory card and its slot number that needs replacement. It also provides a
map of the memory configuration so that the user can identify the types of memory and
its slot location.
• mapper – identifies the configuration of HPPA systems. It displays path, identification,
and revision information of I/O components, configuration of memory controllers,
processors, co-processors, cache, and TLB, as well as processor board component
revisions and values of various HPPA system identifiers, revisions, and capabilities.
• astrodiag – tests and verifies the basic functionality of the Astro memory/IO controller
chip.
• siodiag – tests and verifies the functionality of the super IO multifunction IO chip,
including serial, parallel, USB, and so forth.
For further information on the various ODE commands and a complete listing of the
command set, type help Enter at the ODE> prompt or at the prompt of one of the test
modules.
Using the PIM Dump Tool to Decode HPMCs

If the system HPMC and halts, the Boot Console Handler’s Service menu provides a PIM
dump tool that can analyze the HPMC dump and attempt to decode it for analysis. It will
point to the failing FRU or memory location if it is memory related. For information on
using the Boot Console Handler, see Chapter 6.

Hard Disk Drives

This section explains how to remove and replace (install) a hard disk drive in the B2000
workstation. After replacing or installing a hard disk drive, be sure to follow the
procedures in the section “Configuring a Hard Disk Drive as a File System” on page 33 to
configure the hard disk drive.
The B2000 workstation can have a maximum of two hard disk drives. These internal hard
disk drives are devices on the Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential SCSI bus. The hard
disk drive that came with the workstation was set to SCSI ID 6 on the bus. If you are
adding a second hard disk drive, the second hard disk drive will use SCSI ID 5. Note that
the two slots for the hard disk drives have SCSI ID numbers 6 and 5 preassigned to them,
and that SCSI ID 6 is the system disk. You will not be able to change these SCSI ID
numbers.
CAUTION Hard disk drives are susceptible to mechanical and electrostatic shock. When

Accessing the Boot Console Handler

If the workstation has crashed or power was turned off for some reason, press the power
switch and proceed to step 3. Otherwise, to access the Boot Console Handler, follow these
steps:
NOTE This procedure should be done by a system administrator or superuser with

root login permissions.
1. Close any files and applications on the workstation.

2. Press the power switch on the front panel of the workstation.
NOTE There is no need to login as root and execute the shutdown -q command to
shut down the HP-UX operating system on the workstation before powering it
off. When you turn off the power switch, the workstation automatically shuts
down the operating system before terminating the power.
Make sure you do not unplug the system’s power cord or otherwise interrupt power to
the workstation at this time.
When the operating system has been properly shut down, the following message will
appear:
Shutdown complete
3. Power on the workstation after the system has completely shut down.
If auto boot is turned off, the boot sequence automatically stops at the Boot Console
Handler’s Main Menu.
If auto boot is turned on, you will see the following message:
Processor is starting auto boot process. To

discontinue, press any key within 10 seconds.
142 Chapter 6
If auto boot and auto search are both turned on, you will see the following message:
Processor is booting from first available de-

vice. To discontinue, press any key within 10
seconds.
NOTE If you are using a power-saving monitor, you will have less than 10 seconds
from the time this message appears to press a key.
4. Press a key. You will then see the message:
Boot terminated
The Main Menu of the Boot Console Handler appears.
Chapter 6 143
Booting the Workstation

You usually start the system by turning it on and waiting for HP-UX to boot automatically.
However, you may not always want the usual boot sequence to occur.
For example, you may want to start the system from an operating system that is stored on
a device that is different from the usual boot device. If the normal operating system kernel
or the disk on which it resides becomes damaged or unusable, you may wish to boot from a
different disk or perhaps another type of device, such as a CD drive.
Here are some possible booting scenarios you may encounter:
• If you know which device you want to boot from, and you know that it contains a
bootable operating system, follow the directions in “Accessing the Boot Console
Handler” earlier in this chapter, and then type the following at the prompt:
Main Menu: Enter command > boot device
where device is the hardware path to the device, specified in Mnemonic Style
Notation. For example, if you wish to boot an operating system that is stored on a
DDS-format tape drive that is located at the hardware path scsi.1.0, you would type
the following command at the prompt and press Enter:
Main Menu: Enter command > boot scsi.1.0

• If you do not know which device or the hardware path for the device you want to boot
from, then type the following at the prompt and press Enter:
Main Menu: Enter command > search
A message similar to the following will be displayed:
Path Number Device Path Device Type

----------- ---------------- -----------
P0 IDE TEAC CD-532E-B

P1 SCSI.6.0 SEAGATE ST39102LC
At the prompt, you might type the following and press Enter:
Main Menu: Enter command > boot P1
Note that the operating system on the specified device (P1) is used to boot the system
(also see the section “Searching for Bootable Media”).
144 Chapter 6
• If you wish to interact with the Initial System Loader (ISL) before booting the system,
follow the directions in “Accessing the Boot Console Handler” earlier in this chapter,
and then type the following at the prompt:
The following prompt will appear:
Interact with ISL (Y,N,Q)>
Answering yes (Y) causes the ISL to be loaded from the specified device. After a short
ISL>
operating system. If you do not want to interact with ISL, you must enter no (N).
For example, if the usual kernel (/stand/vmunix) on the root disk (scsi.6.0) has
become corrupted, and you wish to boot the system from the backup kernel
(/stand/vmunix.prev), type the following at the ISL> prompt and press Enter:

• If you do not know which media in the file systems have bootable operating systems,
you can find them with the search ipl command. See the next section, “Searching for
Bootable Media.”
Chapter 6 145

To list devices that contain bootable media, follow the directions in “Accessing the Boot
Console Handler” earlier in this chapter, and then type the following at the prompt and
press Enter:
Main Menu: Enter command> search ipl
The search command searches all buses. The search may turn up more devices than there
are lines on the display. If you are using a text terminal, you may control the progress of
the search from the terminal’s keyboard by using these keystrokes:
Ctrl S Temporarily suspends the search.
Ctrl Q Continues the search.
Any Other Key Stops the search.
These flow-control keystrokes do not work with a bitmapped display, but such a display
can show more than forty lines of text, so you are unlikely to need them.
To search for devices of just one type that actually contain bootable media, follow the
directions in “Accessing the Boot Console Handler” earlier in this chapter, and then type
the following at the prompt and press Enter:
Main Menu: Enter command> search ipl device_type
where device_type is one of the following:

scsi Is the built-in Ultra2 Wide LVD SCSI bus.
lan Is all connections to the built-in LAN.
pcin Is an optional plug-in device in PCI slot number n.
ide Is the built-in IDE bus.
disk Is all connections except LAN (for example, PCI cards, etc.)

To display the current setting for a particular system path, follow the directions in
“Accessing the Boot Console Handler” earlier in this chapter, and then type the following at
the prompt and press Enter:
Main Menu: Enter command> path path_type
where path_type is one of the path types listed in Table 6-1.
For example, to get the path to the primary boot device, follow the directions in “Accessing
the Boot Console Handler” earlier in this chapter, and then type the following at the
prompt and press Enter:
Main Menu: Enter command> path primary
148 Chapter 6
To set a system path to a new value, follow the directions in “Accessing the Boot Console
Handler” earlier in this chapter, and then type the following at the prompt and press Enter:
Main Menu: Enter command> path path_type path
where path_type is one of the path types listed in Table 6-1 and path is the specification of
the path in Mnemonic Style Notation (as described in Table 6-2). For example, to set the
primary boot path to a SCSI disk with ID of 6.0, follow the directions in “Accessing the
Boot Console Handler” earlier in this chapter, and then type the following at the prompt
and press Enter:
Main Menu: Enter command> path pri scsi.6.0
NOTE The default B2000 paths are:

pri scsi.6.0
alt scsi.5.0
Chapter 6 149
Displaying and Setting the Monitor Type

The workstation ships from the factory preset to use a monitor with a specific resolution
and frequency. If you replace the workstation’s monitor with a different type of monitor,
you may have to reconfigure the system to support the new monitor.
The Monitor Command

The monitor command lets you change the system’s graphics configuration. This command
is available in the Configuration Menu of the Boot Console Handler.
NOTE The monitor command lets you change the system’s graphics configuration
before you replace a workstation’s monitor. For information about changing
the configuration after you replace a monitor, refer to “Changing the Monitor
Type” in Chapter 4.
To display the current graphics and console information, type the following set of
commands and press Enter at the prompt:
Main Menu: Enter command> configuration
Configuration Menu: Enter command> monitor
The correct usage for setting the graphics configuration is:
monitor graphics_path type
where valid graphics_path parameters are:

graphics(0) Built-in (or core) graphics adapter (primary slot)
graphics(1) Graphics adapter installed in slot 1 (secondary slot)
graphics(2) Graphics adapter installed in slot 2
and type is the numerical monitor type. See “Setting the Monitor Type” in a subsequent
section for a list of types. For example, an HP VISUALIZE-fxe graphics card (A4982A)
installed in option slot 2 would be graphics(2). Note that you can have graphics(0)
through graphics(4) for the graphics_path.
150 Chapter 6

Trying to change the monitor type on an empty slot fails and gives you the following
warning message:
No such graphics card.
Setting the Monitor Type with SAM

The System Administration Manager (SAM) allows you to change the monitor type after
the HP-UX 10.20 operating system with the 9912 Additional Core Enhancements (ACE)
software bundle (December 1999) have been installed on the workstation. This section
provides a brief explanation on how to set the monitor type using SAM. Note that you will
need to be logged in as root to run SAM.
Here are the steps for setting the monitor type with SAM:
1. Log in as root.
152 Chapter 6

If you are root, the System Application Manager (SAM) will appear on the screen.
5. Double-click on the Display icon.
6. Double-click on the Monitor Configuration icon in the Display window.
The Monitor Configuration window will have a monitor icon(s) in it that is/are
associated with the graphics card(s) in the workstation’s I/O card slot(s).
7. Click on the monitor icon in the Monitor Configuration window whose monitor type
you want to set.
Chapter 6 153
8. Select the action Modify Monitor Type from the Actions menu. You will see a
window with a list of monitor type selections in it. Here is an example of a monitor type
entry you may see:
Entry Width Height Hz Font Description

1 1280 1024 75 10x20 VESA
9. Select an entry from the list in the Modify Monitor window. In that same window,
select the check box labeled Make monitor type ‘n’ the default where n is the
number of the entry you selected. To finish the monitor type selection, select the
Modify Monitor window’s OK button. A pop-up window will appear to confirm the
monitor type selection. Press the Yes button in that pop-up window. This causes the
monitor to reset, possibly hiding existing windows. You will then be given 15 seconds
after the monitor type changes to configure this setting. Press the OK button to
configure the setting. This completes the process for setting the monitor type. Note that
this change takes effect immediately.
10.Connect the monitor cable to the graphics card you selected, and the screen contents
will appear. You are now done selecting the monitor type.
Setting the Monitor Type at Power On

If you replace the workstation’s monitor with a different monitor type, you need to let the
workstation’s firmware know you made this change. To do this, reboot the system and use
either the automatic monitor selection process or the Boot Console Handler’s monitor
command. The monitor command is described in the section “Setting the Monitor Type” in
this chapter. The automatic monitor selection process is described in this section.
Once you have rebooted the system by turning it off, wait for a short time for the hard disk
drive’s disk to stop spinning. Next, turn the workstation on and watch for the Num Lock
light to come on.
NOTE It takes a short amount of time (approximately 40 seconds) after powering on

the workstation before the Num Lock light comes on.
Wait two seconds after the Num Lock light comes on, which is near the end of the boot
sequence, then press Tab to initiate the automatic monitor selection process. If the screen
remains blank after two minutes of waiting for something to be displayed, see the section
“Troubleshooting Monitor Problems” in this chapter. Otherwise, if you see information
similar to the following displayed on the screen and it is the correct monitor type, press the
Enter key to select it.
Path Slot Head Type Size Freq Class
---------- ---- ---- ---- ------------ ---- -----
GRAPHICS(0) 0 1 n nnnnxnnnn nnHz VESA
Press [Return] to select this monitor type (type n of n types).
Note that if you do not select this monitor type, the system cycles through a limited
number of monitor types one at a time until you find one that meets your needs.
154 Chapter 6
Once you have made the monitor type selection, the system queries you to confirm the
selection. Press Y to save this monitor type.
If you press any key other than Y, the following message is displayed:
Monitor type not saved.
At this point, the new monitor type is active, but not saved. Because you did not save the
monitor type, the next time you reboot the system the original monitor type will be used.
Next, the following message is displayed:

To select a new Graphics Monitor Type press the <TAB> key now, otherwise EXIT by
entering any other key (or will time out in 15 seconds)...
To restart the monitor selection process, press Tab.
Troubleshooting Monitor Problems

In the event that the console stops displaying to the graphics device, use the following
procedure to set the console for displaying to an external terminal.
Here are the steps to follow:

1. Turn off the workstation.
2. Disconnect the workstation’s keyboard connector from the rear panel.
3. Connect a serial terminal emulator to the Serial 1 connector (the left serial connector)
on the system rear panel. Configure the terminal for: 9600 baud, No Stop Bits, No
Parity, 8 Bits.
4. Power on the system. The system will now display the console to the terminal connected
to Serial 1 port. Note that you can use a 9-pin to 9-pin serial cable (HP F1044-80002) to
connect an HP OmniBook serial port to the workstation.
5. Set the monitor type and path using the Boot Console Handler. For information on
doing this see the section “Setting the Monitor Type with SAM.”

Setting the Auto Boot and Auto Search Flags
Setting the Auto Boot and Auto Search Flags

The auto boot and auto search flags are variables stored in the system’s nonvolatile
memory. (Nonvolatile memory retains its contents even after power is turned off.) If you
reset these flags to new values, the change takes effect the next time you reboot the
workstation.
The auto boot flag boots the operating system whenever the workstation is turned on.
If auto boot is set to on, the system automatically attempts to boot the operating system
when turned on. If auto boot is set to off, the system enters the boot administration mode
of the Boot Console Handler’s user interface.
The state of the auto search flag determines how the system seeks a boot device during
auto boot. If auto search is set to on, the system will search for other boot devices if the
primary boot device is not available. If auto search is off, the system will default to the
boot administration mode if it can’t see the primary boot device.
To examine the state of the auto boot and auto search flags, type the following at the
Configuration Menu: Enter command> auto
To change the state of the auto boot or auto search flags, type the following at the prompt
and press Enter:
Configuration Menu: Enter command> auto boot state
or
Configuration Menu: Enter command> auto search state
where state is on or off.
The auto search command searches for devices in the following order:
Primary boot path (can be set by the user)
Alternate boot path (can be set by the user)
PCI 1 through PCI 4 (plug-in interface cards)
Low-voltage differential SCSI (built-in)
LAN (built-in)
IDE (built-in)

Displaying and Setting the Security Mode
Displaying and Setting the Security Mode

The secure flag is a variable stored in non-volatile memory. (Non-volatile memory retains
its contents even after power is turned off.) If you reset this flag to a new value, the change
takes effect the next time you reboot the workstation.
When the secure flag is set to on, auto boot and auto search are enabled and cannot be
stopped. The system boots from the default boot paths regardless of user intervention.
Note that the secure command must be executed from within the Boot Console Handler.
To get into the Boot Console Handler, follow the procedure in the section “Accessing the
Boot Console Handler” earlier in this chapter. Once the Main Menu is present, you can
type the following command at the prompt and press Enter:
Main Menu: Enter command > configuration
From the Configuration Menu, you can execute the secure command and preform the
subsequent tasks in this section.
To display the current setting for the secure flag, type the following command at the
Configuration Menu: Enter command > secure
To set the secure flag on, type the following command at the prompt and press Enter:
Configuration Menu: Enter command > secure on
To set the secure flag off, you need to disconnect the boot disk to interrupt the boot-up
sequence and force the prompt to the Boot Console Handler. Next, type the following
command at the prompt and press Enter:
Configuration Menu: Enter command > secure off
Chapter 6 159
Displaying and Setting Fastboot Mode
Displaying and Setting Fastboot Mode

When fastboot is enabled (set to on), the system does a quick check of the memory and
skips I/O interface testing during its power-on self tests. This enables the system to
complete its boot process quicker. The default factory setting is for fastboot to be enabled
(set to on). Note that fastboot can be set using the Boot Console Handler’s Configuration
Menu.
When fastboot is disabled (set to off), more extensive memory testing and I/O interface
testing is performed during the self tests, causing the boot process to take longer.
If you are experiencing difficulty in booting the system, set fastboot to off and reboot the
system. More extensive testing may reveal the error condition.
To display the status of fastboot, type the following at the prompt and press Enter:
Configuration Menu: Enter command> fastboot
To disable fastboot, type the following at the prompt and press Enter:
Configuration Menu: Enter command> fastboot off
To enable fastboot, type the following at the prompt and press Enter:
Configuration Menu: Enter command> fastboot on

Displaying the LAN Station Address
Displaying the LAN Station Address

It is sometimes necessary to supply the LAN station address of the workstation to other
users. For example, if the workstation is to become a member of a cluster, the cluster
administrator needs to know the LAN station address in order to add the workstation to
the cluster. Note that the LAN station address can be determined using the Boot Console
Handler’s Information Menu.
A LAN station address for the workstation is the label that uniquely identifies the LAN
connection for the workstation at the link level (the hardware level).
To display the workstation’s LAN station addresses, type the following at the prompt and
press Enter:
Information Menu: Enter command> lanaddress
The LAN station address is displayed as a twelve-digit number in hexadecimal notation,

similar to the following:
LAN Station Address: 001083-000429
The address is for the system’s built-in LAN.
Chapter 6 161

You can use pim in the following ways:
pim - No arguments for the pim command returns the HPMC information for processor 0
pim 0 - HPMC information on processor 0
pim 0 fault_type - fault type information on processor 0
where fault_type is HPMC (high priority machine check), LPMC (low priority machine
check), or TOC (transfer of control).
Stable Storage
Stable storage is non-volatile memory associated with the PA-RISC processor module.
Stable storage is used by the processor (CPU) to store:
• Device path information
• The state of the boot flags
• HPMC error information
• Operating system initialization data
162 Chapter 6
ISL Environment
ISL Environment
The ISL environment provides the means to load the operating system (HP-UX)
environment. The ISL environment also provides an offline platform to execute optional
diagnostic and utility programs from a boot device when HP-UX does not load.
The ISL program is the first program loaded into main memory from an external medium
(LAN, disk, or tape) and launched by the initial program loader (IPL) routine from the
Boot Administration environment.
The ISL environment provides the following capabilities:
• Execute user-entered commands to modify boot device paths and boot options in stable
storage.
• Run offline diagnostic programs and utilities
• Provide automatic booting of the HP-UX operating system after power-on or reset
Invoking ISL from the Boot Console Handler

Perform the following steps to invoke ISL from the Boot Console Handler:
1. Follow the directions in “Accessing the Boot Console Handler” on page 142, and then
type the following at the prompt and press Enter:
You are prompted:
Interact with ISL (Y, N, or Q) > y
2. Answering yes (y) causes the ISL to be loaded from the specified device. After a short

ISL Environment
ISL User Commands

The following commands available in the ISL environment allow you to display and modify
the boot characteristics of the system.
• help - lists ISL command menu and available utilities.
• display - displays the boot and console paths in Stable Storage and the current setting
of the ISL Boot Flags.
• primpath - modifies the primary boot path entry in Stable Storage. The entry in Stable
Storage for the primary boot device begins at byte address 0 and ends at 31.
• altpath - modifies the alternate boot path entry in Stable Storage. The entry for the
alternate boot device begins at byte address 128 and ends at 159.
• conspath - modifies the console path entry in Stable Storage. The console device begins
at byte address 96 and ends at byte address 127. The entry for the keyboard and mouse
devices begins at byte address 160 and ends at 191.
• listautofl or lsautofl - lists the contents of the (HP-UX) autoboot file.
• support - boots the Support Tape from the boot device.
• readss - displays 4 bytes (one word) from Stable Storage. The readss command
requires a decimal number between 0 and 255 to address four bytes in Stable Storage.

Obtaining and Updating System Firmware

To update a system’s firmware, obtain the firmware patch from the patch server website at
one of the following URLs:
http://us-external_support.hp.com
http://europe-external_support.hp.com
The patch file is a combined shar’ed file that contains an ASCII cataloging file, a readme
type ASCII file, and the firmware LIF binary file. The LIF volume is bootable to ODE,
which in turn runs the UPDATER utility to download the firmware image files.
To identify the current version of the firmware on the system to be updated, re-boot the
system and do the following:
1. Interrupt the boot process and, from the Boot Console Handler prompt, type
<information> and press Enter.
2. Identify the firmware revision. The last two digits in the patch name indicate the
revision.
To install the firmware update, follow the directions in the readme file.
A new method to update the PA8500/8600 workstation system firmware is available
January 2000 as an OS patch. The initial patch is PHSS_19794 on HP-UX 10.20 ACE 9912
and PHSS_20146 on HP-UX 11.00 containing revision 3.1 system firmware. It will be
superceded with higher revision firmware patches as they are released. You can find the
patches by searching for firmware patch on the OS patch site.
Perform the installation by using swinstall and following the installation process. This
will cause a reboot to flash the firmware update and then another reboot to initialize the
system hardware with the new firmware revision. This process has the advantage of
starting the installation from the operating system, requires no special hardware such as a
DAT tape, and requires no user intervention other than waiting for the two reboots.
