CA: Configure asynchronous local serial port

Command access level: MP configuration access

CA sets the parameters for the local and the remote serial console. Input and output data rates are the same. The value returned by the stty command on HP-UX is the local serial port console speed.

Set up the local serial port parameters as follows:

BAUD RATES	Input and output data rates are the same. Possible values are as follows:
	4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 115200 bit/sec.
FLOW	Hardware uses RTS/CTS; software uses Xon/Xoff.
CONTROL

For HP Integrity server blades, the CA command also provides an option to change between the Integrity iLO mode or the dedicated AUX UART mode. Switching to AUX UART mode when MP remote access is disabled or LAN parameters are not configured requires a push button reset to change back to iLO MP mode.

NOTE: Inconsistent bit rate settings can result in improper MP UI while switching between these modes.

The operation mode settings are saved on the MP NVRAM and are permanent for reset and firmware upgrade of the iLO 2 MP, but the settings are not permanent for power cycles or blade ejection. For power cycle to the blade, the console serial port is set back to the iLO mode.

If you cannot access the iLO 2 MP through telnet and the port mode of operation is AUX UART, you must change the port operation mode to Integrity iLO mode to access the MP through the serial port. To change the port operation mode to iLO, perform a hard reset to the MP by pushing the recessed push button through a hole in the front panel. The hard reset resets the MP hardware and sets the MP to the default settings. The hard reset returns the port default connection to MP.
