Use the instructions in
the accompanying hardware documentation to connect a monitor, mouse,
and keyboard to the node.
For each node in the system,
ensure that the power cord is connected but that the CPU is not turned
on.
Follow this procedure
to connect a personal computer (PC) to the Management Processor (MP):
Connect a three-way DB9-25 cable to the MP DB-25 port
on the back of the server.
Connect the CONSOLE connector to a null modem cable,
and connect the null modem cable to the PC COM1 port.
Use a terminal emulator, such as HyperTerminal, to
open a terminal window.
Press the Enter key to access the
MP. If there is no response, press the MP reset pin on the back of
the MP and try again.
Log in to the MP using the default user name and password
shown on the screen. The following MP Main Menu is displayed:
MP MAIN MENU:
CO: Console
VFP: Virtual Front Panel
CM: Command Menu
SMCLP: Server Management Command Line Protocol
CL: Console Log
SL: Show Event Logs
HE: Main Help Menu
X: Exit Connection |
Enter SL to show event logs. Then, enter C to clear
all log files and Y to confirm.
Enter CM to display the Command Menu.
Enter UC and use the menu options to remove the default MP user name and
password and create your own unique user name and password. HP recommends
setting your own user name and password for security purposes.
The user name must have a minimum of six characters,
and the password must have a minimum of eight characters. You must
set the same user name and password on every node. The user name and
password are required to access the power management device and console,
for example, when you issue the console nodename command.
Enter PC (power cycle) and then enter on to turn
on power to the node.
Press Ctrl+b to return to the MP Main Menu.
Enter CO to connect to the console.
Perform this step on all
nodes except the head node. From the Boot Menu screen,
which is displayed during the power on of the node, select the Boot Configuration Menu.
Do the following from the Boot Configuration Menu:
Select Add Boot Entry.
Select Load File [Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,200)/Pci(2|0)/Mac(0017A4992D47)] as the network boot choice, which is a Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) port.
Enter the string Netboot as
the boot option description. This entry is required and must be set
to the string Netboot (with a capital letter N).
Press the Enter key for no boot options.
If prompted, save the entry to NVRAM.
For more information about how to work with these
menus, see the documentation that came with the HP Integrity server.
Perform this step on all
nodes except the head node. From the Boot Configuration menu, select the Edit OS Boot Order option.
Do the following:
Use the navigation instructions on the screen to move
the Netboot entry you just defined to the top of
the boot order.
If prompted, press the Enter key
to select the position.
Enter x to return to the Boot Configuration menu.
Perform this step on all
nodes, including the head node. Select the Console Configuration option, and set Serial Acpi(HWP0002,PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1|2)
Vt100+ 9600 as the primary console interface.
Press the b key to set the baud rate to 115200.
Press the esc key or enter x as many times as necessary
to return to the Boot Menu.
Turn off power to the
node:
Press Ctrl+b to exit the console
mode.
Enter CM to display the Command Menu.
Enter PC and enter off to turn off power to the node.
