Installation
The Console
Continuous Power Source Recommended:
NOTE
To ensure maximum availability of the OpenView Console in the event of
power fluctuation or interruption, a continuous power source is
recommended for the OpenView Console PC.
Installing an OpenView Console
The OpenView Console comes pre-configured with all hardware and software installed.
Although the OpenView Console provides many features, you will only use it as a terminal
for the system console during an initial install. Do not run the DTC Manager program on
the same PC as OpenView; this configuration is not supported and may not work.
NOTE
When installing the OpenView Console, plug the cable from the monitor
into the card in slot 3 in the rear of the Vectra.
The OpenView Console can communicate with the system via a serial cable or via a LAN
connection. During the initial install, you communicate via serial cable; the LAN
connection is not used. When the operating system is loaded, you can use the NMMGR
utility to configure the LAN.
After the OS is loaded and the network is configured, OpenView can be configured for
system management tasks. For details, see the OpenView Console Manager's Guide (PN
B3118-90002) that accompanies the OpenView Console.
NOTE
In case of problems, you can use a 700/96 terminal as the system
console.
To access the system console through the OpenView Console:
1. Make sure the OpenView PC is connected to the console/LAN card by a serial cable and
a LAN connection. The procedure for connecting the OpenView Console to the
console/LAN card was covered in the previous section ("Console/LAN Connections").
2. Turn on the OpenView Vectra.
3. When the OpenView Vectra displays the C:\> prompt, enter this command:
WIN
<ENTER>
This starts MS Windows and runs AdvanceLink to open a connection to the HP 3000
System. In a minute or so, you should see a window labeled "Console ldev-20" on the
screen. See Figure 3-20.
4. Since this is an initial install, you are prompted to set a password.
5. Move the mouse onto the title bar at the top of the new window. Click the left button
once. You can issue commands and see messages in this window just as you would at a
terminal. (All parameters should already be set to the correct values.)
