Configuring Console Controller Serial Ports
HP-UX version 11.00.01 Configuring Serial Ports for Terminals and Modems 3-5
6. To activate the new settings, the standby console controller you just updated
must become the online console controller. To switch the status of both
controllers (online becomes standby and vice versa), enter
ftsmaint switch hw_path
hw_path is the hardware path of the standby console controller (as
determined in step 2), which is either 1/0 or 1/1. For example, if the standby
console controller is located at 1/0, enter
ftsmaint switch 1/0
7. Check that the status of the newly updated console controller board is Online
and that the other console controller board is Online Standby. To do this,
enter
ftsmaint ls 1/1
ftsmaint ls 1/0
The Status values should be the opposite of those observed in step 2.
8. Update the PROM code on the console controller that is now on standby by
repeating steps 3–5 for this console controller. Once this is completed, both
console controllers will be updated with the new configuration.
9. To return the boards to the state in which you found them, switch the status of
the two console controllers again. To do this, enter
ftsmaint switch hw_path
hw_path is the hardware path of the new standby console controller (as set in
step 6). For example, if the standby console controller is located at 1/1, enter
ftsmaint switch 1/1
10. To verify that the boards have returned to the appropriate state, and that the
Firmware Rev has been updated with the revision number of the PROM files
you just used to update them, repeat step 2.
