Loading and Booting the OS on an A180 Support Management Station
Use the following procedure to boot an A180 Support Management Station (SMS) using either the Web
console port or the serial console port:
Step 1. Boot the disk.
If the path is not correct, execute sea from BCH and reset the primary path, if needed. If the disk is
not set up to automatically boot, continue with the next step. If the disk is set up to automatically
boot, skip to step 5.
Step 2. Load the HPUX 11.x CoreOS CD in the drive and boot from that path.
Take the standard defaults for the installation. If it reboots automatically, refuse the network
installation for now. Answer the questions required.
Step 3. After the OS loads, add the driver for the add-on LAN card.
1. Create a directory on which to mount the CD.
For example, mkdir /CD.
2. Load the applications CD in the CD drive.
3. Mount the drive.
For example, mount/dev/dsk/c0t1d0 /CD.
If you set the SCSI addresses differently, substitute that target for cot1d0.
Step 4. Execute the program, swinstall -s /CD.
Check the listings and select the A5230A driver (btlan5) and install it.
Step 5. After the OS reboots, enter the data for installing the network.
Step 6. Enter set_parms initial.
The program, set_parms, configures LAN 0 (the PCI LAN card) on the SMS, not the private LAN.
The program runs and asks for such information as date/time, networking, root password
(serialbus), etc.
If you have already answered some of the set_parms questions, you may need to run set_parms
network only.
Step 7. Set the networking parameters.
You need to know if the site you are connecting to is using DHCP, DNS, NIS, and how to configure
them. The system administrator or site network administrator has this information.
Step 8. Reboot the SMS by typing the command, /etc/reboot.
Step 9. Login as hduser and enter the password hd user to start the SMS environment and confirm the
file system sizes, networking functionality, etc.
