Overview

Use the HP Enablement Kit for Linux® CD with your Itanium® 2-

based system to facilitate installation or recovery of your Linux

operating system, install a golden image on one or more systems,

use tools to evaluate and repair your system, and access the Debian

GNU/Linux Installer.

Note If Linux was pre-installed on your Itanium 2-based

system, power on your machine and configure as

prompted. The functionality provided by the

installation kit has already been applied.

The enablement kit automates the following processes:

• Hardware discovery

• Disk partitioning

• Configuration of storage controllers

• Linux installation from distributor media (e.g. CD-ROM)

• Recovery of a pre-installed operating system.

This booklet provides:

• Instructions for configuring your console and getting started

with the enablement kit

• An explanation of the enablement kit’s menu options

•HP Enablement Kit for Linux CD content list

• An appendix with directions for using Smart Array with Linux

on Itanium 2-based servers

• Answers to frequently asked questions

• Web resources for Linux.

Note For latest updates to this document, please see

Configuring Your Console

The default console configuration for the Itanium 2-based system is

a local graphics display using a USB keyboard and requires no

setup.

The display screen can also be a remote serial console connected

through a serial port or through a terminal attached to a serial port.

Examples include a management processor’s serial port or a net-

work connection through a management processor that the system

treats like a serial port. If you plan to use a serial console, configure

it using the directions in this section before using the HP Enable-

ment Kit for Linux.

Note The management processor is part of the management

card. It monitors system status and can control aspects

of system operation such as power, resets,

software/firmware upgrades, and cooling.

See http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport

for documentation about the management processor.

Select manuals from the support services link on the

right side of the page. Select workstations under the

personal computing link or Itanium®-based servers

under the servers link to access the appropriate

manual.

Configuring Serial Console

Before Linux boots, all console interaction is through firmware. To

modify the default local graphics display to a serial console path,

configure a single serial port (UART) for both Console In and

Console Out in the boot manager interface. When the Linux

kernel boots, it interprets the UART as ttyS0 and sends the com-

puter output to the chosen display screen.

To begin:

1. When your system boots, select the Boot option

maintenance menu from the EFI Boot Manager

screen and press Enter.

2. From the menu, highlight Select Active Console

Output Devices and press Enter.

3. The resulting screen displays a list of UARTs and PCI devices

available for console input/output.

• UART identifiers of PNP0501 describe modes available for the

"Serial A" or "Serial 1" built-in UART.

• UART identifiers of HWP0002 describe modes available for

the "Console" UART on the management processor.

Highlight a UART and press Enter. On the same screen,

highlight Save Settings to NVRAM and press Enter. The

system prompts you to save NVRAM if you omit this step.

4. Highlight Select Active Console Input Device

from the main menu and press Enter.

5. From the list on the resulting screen, highlight the same UART

you selected as your output device and press Enter. Next

highlight Save Settings to NVRAM and press Enter.

6. To apply the changes you have selected, highlight Cold Reset

from the main menu and press Enter.

7. Select Reboot the System and OK. The firmware and serial

console are configured after reboot.

8. Complete the steps listed in the “Getting Started with the HP

Enablement Kit for Linux” section of this booklet to make a

selection from the enablement kit main menu.

Note Though the enablement kit software works with serial

as well as keyboard and VGA consoles, use a VGA

font with serial consoles for optimal screen rendering

and consistent arrow key function.

For information on Linux UART discovery order and specifying a

serial console to the Linux kernel, please see the “Frequently Asked

Questions/Troubleshooting” section in this booklet.

Reverting to VGA from Serial Console

If you’re on serial console and want to revert to VGA:

1. Login to the system

a. Bring up the elilo.conf file to edit.

b. In the append line, remove console=ttyS0 parameters in any

stanza in which you want to use VGA only and save your

changes.

Note If you are using a Debian operating system, the file is

/etc/elilo.conf. Once this file is saved, type

/usr/sbin/elilo at the prompt and press Enter.

2. Edit /etc/securetty.

a. Ensure you have an entry with tty1 for VGA functionality

before completing Step 3.

b. (Optional. Perform only if you want to remove the login

prompt from the serial port.) From the list of terminals on

which root is allowed to login, remove ttyS0 and and save.

3. Bring up the /etc/inittab file:

a. Ensure you have a getty with tty1 for VGA functionality.

b. (Optional. Perform only if you want to remove the login

prompt from the serial port.) Delete the getty that runs on the

serial port in ttyS0.

4. (Optional) If you want your system to start up X instead of text
