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 8-10 shows the IRC page. 122 Using iLO 2
