Internal Modem Remote Access This section provides the information on enabling or disabling the remote access through the internal modem. The process to allow or not allow remote access is different between the HP 9000 systems and the HP 3000 systems.
Predictive to configure the internal modem for remote access. Refer to the Pre- dictive Support User’s Guide (part number 50779-90018). To have remote access for the HP 3000 computer you must configure Logical Device 21 in the operating system and on the core I/O card.
Also at this point, you can select either the internal or external mode. An internal or external modem can be used for dialout/dialin on an HP computer system. However, only one of these modems can be used at a time. The line speed between the internal modem and the system defaults to 19,200 bits/sec and is not configurable.
Page 43
3. Check to see if the remote console is locked, if so, unlock it with the Unlock Remote ( ) command, before configuring access or enabling remote console. 4. When dialing in for remote console access, there is no speed sensing, so it is necessary to verify that the remote console port is configured for the same speed as the originating modem.
Troubleshooting Introduction This chapter presents the overall strategy for troubleshooting failures on the HP 3000/9x9KS, HP 9000/ Kxx0 Class systems and HP VISUALIZE Kx50-EG, Kx60-EG, and Kx60-XP workstations, and provides some procedures you can follow that will help you isolate most system problems.
Calling the Response Center If your problem is serious enough to call the HP Response Center, gather the following information to give to the Response Center engineer who will be calling back: 1. The modem telephone number and Baud rate.
Safety Considerations Follow the procedures listed below to ensure safe handling of components and to prevent harm to both you and the server: • Use an anti-static wrist strap and a grounding mat, such as those included in the Electrically Conductive Field Service Kit.
Power System Troubleshooting Table 3-1 provides some initial power-on type troubleshooting suggestions. For other power system problems, refer to the more detailed descriptions and procedures in this section. Table 3-1. Power-On Troubleshooting SYMPTOM ACTION No front panel message 1. If PowerTrust is installed displayed and no sys- tem operation.
The Power Supply is a 1250VA auto-ranging supply (1700VA for HP9000 models Kx50/K260/K460/ Kx70/Kx80, HP VISUALIZE workstations, and the HP3000 979KS). There are no test points or adjustments on the Power Supply. To fully remove power from the system, AC power must be removed.

When finished, it transfers control back to the operating system. In HP-UX, when control is given back, a panic dump is created. The operating system saves a memory dump to a special location on disk and attempts to reboot the system. The chassis codes displayed by PDC are no longer visible.
Page 61
HP-UX Procedure: 1. Reset the system. 2. Stop the autoboot process if it is enabled. 3. From PDC service menu, enter the command. Record or print the PIM report, specifically timestamps, chassis codes, responder/requestor addresses, I/O module error log, and memory error log.
Core I/O Troubleshooting The Core I/O for the HP 3000 and HP 9000 computer systems are provided by two different cards. The make up of the individual core I/O cards can be seen in the block diagrams located in Appendix B. The Core I/O card is an FRU, so any failure of a component located on the core I/O card requires the replacement of the core I/O card.

Proceeding to turn DC on Install power supply, power monitor At least one processor must be installed and display panel only.
5. Check IPRefetch configuration with the IPR command from the Information or Configuration menu. Diagnostic Tools MPE/iX or HP-UX prior to 10.20 IPR 9707 Online Diagnostics The online diagnostics require a user license and have password protection against unauthorized use. When you purchase a support license, you will get a password.
System Exerciser (HP 3000 only) Another tool that you can use for troubleshooting is the System Exerciser, or SX. The system exerciser is loaded into the TELESUP account as part of the fundamental operating system.
When you get the ISL prompt, type ODE to run the offline diagnostic environment. It will take a few minutes to load ODE from tape. To get a list of the tests available, type ls at the ODE prompt. ODE contains CPU, memory, and I/O tests, as well as a firmware update tool.
MPE/iX Monitor Halts A monitor halt can be caused by either software or hardware. The console may not show a message describing the condition. The sequence of hex codes that begins with a "Bx00" distinguishes it from the Bx07 (system halt 7) code of a system abort. Use the procedures in Table 3-18. on page 3-32 to resolve the problem.
3. Save the memory dump file (should be automatic) and call the HP Response Center to have it analyzed. Performing a Memory Dump This section provides procedures for taking a memory dump for both MPE/iX and HP-UX systems. MPE/iX Memory Dump Summary To perform a memory dump: 1.
5. Process the memory dump: A. Mount the first dump tape on the tape drive. B. Log on as MGR.TELESUP,DAT. C. Type DAT to initiate the Dump Analysis Tool (DAT) program. D. Type GETDUMP xxxxx at the DAT program prompt, where xxxx is the 5 character dump identi- fier name.
Page 79
If you do a reset, do not waste your time taking a memory dump. Instead, just bring the machine up and report the problem to the Response Center. CAUTION Do not do a hard reset (RS) unless absolutely necessary. A hard reset invalidates the memory dump and destroys important troubleshooting information.
Page 80
ISL> console configuration (MODES softkey). Ensure that AUTOLINEFEED and BLOCK MODE are not enabled (only REMOTE should be enabled). Also, the terminal should be set to the HP defaults: 9600 Baud, 8 bits/no parity, ENQ/ACK. 3. Type DUMP at the prompt to initiate the dump program.
Page 81
2. Type DAT at the colon prompt to initiate the Dump Analysis Tool. If you get the following error message: "Program requires more capabilities than group is allowed (LDERR 505)". the DAT group was not created with full capabilities. Enter: ALTGROUP DAT;CAP=IA,BA,PH,MR,DS,PM 3.
HP-UX Automatic Core Dump As HP-UX reboots following a system panic, the computer may save a core file to disk. This core file is a snapshot of physical memory at the time of the panic. If it becomes necessary, this core file can be analyzed using special tools to determine more about what caused the panic.
These compressed core files are easier to transport. However, the analysis tools cannot be used directly on compressed core files. For more information on savecore and its options, see the entry for savecore (1M) in the HP-UX Reference or the HP-UX man page. Also, see HP-UX System Tasks.
Page 84
At this point, you can mount a magnetic tape and use the -t option to savecore to save the system’s physical memory image to magnetic tape. 3-40 Troubleshooting...

SCSI Peripherals and I/O Information Introduction This section is being provided to assist in identifying problems with the SCSI peripherals and Buses supported in this system. Figure 8-1. Peripheral Bay Exploded view Figure 8-1 is a view of the peripheral bay outside the computer cabinet.The peripheral bay supports both Single-Ended SCSI and Fast Wide Differential SCSI Products.
Configuration 1. HP’s current implementations of SCSI supports 8 devices consisting of one or more device adapters (Initiators) and up to 7 peripheral devices (Targets) on the 50 pin busses, and up to 16 Initiator or Target devices on the 68 pin busses.
3. Because cable impedance and construction affect bus signal quality, only HP cables are recommended. 4. While the high-density SCSI connectors on the HP-PB Host Adapters support both thumbscrew and squeeze latch cables, only the thumbscrew type are recommended because of reliability and RFI concerns with the squeeze-latch cables.

Terminator power will be supplied by the Initiators and may be supplied by any or all connected devices. HP recommends that terminator power be supplied by the Host Bus Adapter (HBA) Initiator and the last device on the SCSI Bus to help decrease interface error rates and provide better balance to the TERMPWR contacts.

Head Cleaning Procedure 1. Cleaning Cartridge Product Number = HP 92283K. 2. Insert the cleaning cartridge into the drive. 3. The drive automatically cleans the drive heads and ejects the cartridge after approximately 30 seconds. 4. If the cleaning cartridge ejects after only 14 seconds, the cartridge has reached the end of its useful life.
Firmware Upgrade Failures: • Wrong firmware tape - The tape will be ejected within 1/2 to 1 minute of activity and no update will have been done. (Match tape part number to product model number.) • Firmware tape used up - The tape will automatically be re-formatted by the drive as a normal data tape and will no longer react as a firmware tape (This will occur after 200 passes).
Figure 8-35. Cassette and Drive Light Definitions - indicates head cleaning is needed. This is an indication of an excessive number of Media wear (caution) Read-After-Write (RAW) or third level error correction (C3 ECC) errors. This condition can be caused by dirty heads or by a cartridge approaching the end of its life.

This section documents the methods that are used for distributing Processor Dependent Code (PDC) updates for the HP 3000 9x9 and HP 9000 K class computers. Also included in this section are procedures for creating a PDC update tape, verifying your current version of PDC, and a PDC update procedure.
Current Version Verification With On-line Diagnostics The current version of PDC can be determined using on-line diagnostics. If on-line diagnostics are not present on your system, use the boot console handler procedure to verify the current version. For Operating Systems prior to HPUX 10.20 IPR9707, both the Sysdiag and MSTM Procedures may be followed.

4. Change to the directory containing the firmware patches: > cd firmware_patches/hp/cpu If desired, review the contents of the directory by using the ls command. For each patch, there is an accompanying text file ( ). The text file contains the patch description and the patchfilename.txt...
Creating The Firmware Update Tape There are two parts to this section. They are: 1. Creating a firmware update tape using files from HPESC. 2. Creating a firmware update tape using the Support Media. Creating a Firmware Update Tape Using Files From HPESC. 1.
Firmware Update Procedure Updating From a Tape Created Using HPESC Files Note Ensure the system is fully backed up before proceeding with this firmware update. 1. Log on as root, and enter “reboot -r”. This command will shutdown the Operating System and reboot the system.
Page 325
Updating From a Tape Created Using Support Media The procedure for performing a firmware update using a tape that was created from the Support Media is the same as the previous procedure, with one exception. Since the tape contains several firmware image files for different system types, you must select the image file which your system type requires.
Page 326
10. After the tape has been read by the update program, the “update>” prompt will return. The update should take approximately 30 seconds. Enter “exit”. 11. The system will automatically reset, and the boot process will begin. Boot your system with your nor- mal process.
Memory Configuration Guidelines Memory Configuration and SIMM Installation Memory in HP 3000 and HP 9000 servers can be added in many different megabyte combinations depending on your model, your use of existing memory, your memory upgrade goals, and what combination of memory modules you install.
A module is a pair of SIMMs or DIMMs. Memory for your system is purchased and installed only in modules; never install just one SIMM. A pair of modules is four SIMM cards. 256MB SIMM + 256MB SIMM one 512MB module 128MB SIMM + 128MB SIMM one 256MB module...

If you get the warning, Memory not optimized, use the me command in the Information Menu of the user interface (the Boot Console Handler) to check your memory configuration. This command will not directly tell you whether your memory is installed for optimum performance; it will only tell you whether the modules are seated correctly and recognized as part of your system configuration.
Memory Optimization Procedure for Single Memory Extenders — Overview CAUTION To prevent damage to memory boards and system components from electrostatic discharge, always wear a grounded wrist strap when working on or around the system, and when handling printed circuit boards.
Procedure for Single Memory Extenders — Detailed Step 1. Remove any modules pairs from the memory extender. Step 2. Combine the removed and new memory modules and organize them into four groups: • 512MB modules • 256MB modules • 128MB and 64MB modules (combined in the same group) •...
Example — Installing New Memory in an Empty Extender Four 128MB SIMMs Two 256MB modules (one pair of 256MB modules) Six 64MB SIMMs Three 128MB modules and one 64MB module and two 32MB SIMMs (2 pairs of 128MB/64MB modules) Two 16MB SIMMs One 32MB module Install.

6. Install any remaining modules (2 SIMMs), filling in the lowest-numbered slots on the extender with the most available slots. Notes In the examples that follow, the extenders are labeled "first extender" and "second extender." It is also useful to refer to these as "Extender 0" and "Extender 1", corresponding to the lower and upper extender slots in the system memory bay.
