This workstation is designated for two-person lifting. It weighs
approximately 36 to 49 pounds (16 to 22 kg), depending on the configuration.
Do not attempt to lift it by yourself, or injury may result.

Power Switch
This switch turns the system on and off. When you turn your workstation off, the operating
system automatically executes the shutdown -q command. This prevents any damage to
programs and data on your system disk. Turning the power switch back on again
automatically boots up the HP-UX operating system if your system has been configured to
auto boot.

Product Information
Front Panel Components

Thumbscrew on the Front Panel
There is one captive thumbscrew near the center of the front panel. Loosening and pulling
toward you with this screw allows the top panel to be removed. The top panel must be in
place or the system will not power up.
Between the LCD panel and the CD ROM drive, there is a threaded hole for an optional
locking screw. The locking screw is included in the bag of miscellaneous parts which comes
with the workstation. This locking screw allows the user to protect his/her workstation
form unwanted entry.

System LCD
The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) indicator is located on the front panel. The LCD has two
16 characters lines. The LCD displays messages about the state of the system, including
chassis codes. The symbols in Figure 1-3 appear in the LCD if you have the HP-UX 10.20
or 11.0 operating system booted on your system. They represent the different system
activities.

Internal Storage Devices
The J6000 workstations support the following internal storage devices, which are also
located on the front panel, under the bezel:
• Up to two hot-pluggable, Low-Voltage Differential (LVD) hard disk drives
• One ATAPI (IDE) Slim-Line CD drive (optional)
The following subsections describe these internal storage devices.
Hard Disk Drive(s)
The J6000 workstations can support up to two hot-pluggable, Low-Voltage Differential
(LVD) hard disk drives. These hard disk drives are 3.5-inch form factor, 10K RPM devices
which connect to Ultra2 Wide LVD (Low Voltage Differential) SCSI interfaces on the disk
bay backplane. The hard disk drive bays are located on the lower left side of the front
panel, below the CD ROM drive. See Figure 1-1.
The two hard disk drive models currently supported are:
• 18 GB LVD 10K RPM disk drive (Product Number A4998A)
• 36 GB LVD 10K RPM disk drive (Product Number A6013A)
NOTE

16

The ability to hot plug the hard disk drive(s) requires MirrorDisk/UX
(Product Number B5403BA on HP-UX 10.20, or B2491BA on HP-UX 11.0
ACE 9911).

The Hot-Plug Process
The physical aspect of inserting and removing a disk drive is discussed in the document
that comes with the drive. However, the operating system must be prepared for the
insertion or removal of a disk, or unexpected and harmful effects may occur.
There is a significant difference between the terms “hot-pluggable” and “hot-swappable”.
Hot swapping happens at the device level; that is, a hot-swappable device manages
insertion/removal on its own without assistance from HP-UX commands. The disk drive(s)
in the J6000 are not hot-swappable; they are merely hot-pluggable. Thus, a manual
software procedure must be done in order to safely remove or insert disk drives while the
system is running.
The hot-plug process allows you to replace a defective disk drive in a high-available system
while it is running.
Replacing a Failed Disk Drive
In the context of replacing a failed disk drive, the system administrator must determine
which disk has failed. Depending on how the system was set up, the identity of the failed
drive may or may not be obvious. This determination may be done in either of two ways:
• Tracking the error message written by the LVM (Logical Volume Manager) to the
system console and/or a log file. For information on LVM commands, see the man pages
for vgchange, lvreduce, vgfgrestore, lvlnboot, lvextend, lvsync, etc.
• If installed, run the diagnostic utility Support Tool Manager (xstm) to determine disk
malfunction.
The removal of a defective disk drive from an active file system is supported through LVM
commands if hot-pluggable disks have been configured into the HP-UX file system with
LVM. To provide high availability, without impact to users, the disks must also be
configured as mirrored disks. Disk-mirroring is accomplished through use of the
MirrorDisk/UX software (HP part number B5403BA); for information on classes, see
http://www.hgp.com/education/courses/h628s.html.
No graphical user interface is currently offered through the System Administrator
Manager (SAM) for doing the required LVM commands because manipulation of the LVM
requires specialized knowledge that only experienced system administrators are expected
to have (see below for details).

10/0/13/0.0

The system problem for this example is that the disk at hardware address 10/0/13/0.0 has
a head crash, and as a result, is unusable. The steps described in the Hot-Plug Procedure
section below outline a method that can be used to recover from this state.
1. All of the replaced disk’s in-use extents must belong to mirrored logical volumes which
were created with the “strict” option (-s); see the documentation for MirrorDisk/UX.
2. You must have an up-to-date configuration backup file. This is done automatically each
time an LVM command changes LVM configuration.
The default backup file’s path is:
/etc/lvmconf/.conf
For example,
/etc/lvmconf/vg00.conf
3. The replacement disk must be the same product ID as the replaced one.
NOTE

HP often uses different manufacturers for disks having the same product
number. The hot-plug manual procedure will not update the disk driver’s
internal information to that of the replaced disk.

The replacement disk will have the same capacity and block size as the defective disk
because they have the same product number. The only field that could be incorrect is the
string specifying the vendor’s name. This will not affect the behavior of the LVM. If it is
desired to update the manufacturer’s name, the disk’s volume group must be deactivated
and reactivated. See the HP-UX System Administration Tasks manual for details.

The Hot-Plug Procedure
These are the steps required to properly hot-plug a disk drive:
Step 1
• Check if the LVM found the physical volume to be defective when the volume group was
activated.
• The “vgchange -a y” command would have printed the following message on the
console:
WARNING:
VGCHANGE:WARNING: COULDN’T ATTACH TP THE VOLUME GROUP
PHYSICAL VOLUME “/DEV/DSK/cXtXdX”
THE PATH OF THE PHYSICAL VOLUME REFERS TO A DEVICE THAT DOES NOT
EXIST, OR IS NOT CONFIGURED INTO THE KERNEL.
• If the status of the “vgchange -v vg02” is unknown, you may check if this occurred by
doing a vgdisplay command:
vgdisplay
For our example:
vgdisplay /dev/vg00
• If the disk was defective at vgchange time, the following messages
will be printed one or more times:
WARNING:
VGDISPLAY: WARNING: COULDN’T QUERY PHYSICAL VOLUME
“/DEV/DSK/cXtXdX”
THE SPECIFIED PATH DOES NOT CORRESPOND TO PHYSICAL VOLUME
ATTACHED TO THE VOLUME GROUP.
VGDISPLAY: WARNING: COULDN’T QUERY ALL OF THE PHYSICAL
VOLUMES
• If you see these messages, the disk was defective at the time the volume group was
activated.
Otherwise, your disk became defective after the vgchange and you must continue with
step 2 of this procedure.

Step 2
• Reduce any logical volumes that have mirror copies on the faulty disk so that they no
longer mirror onto that disk (note the -A n option). This will take a several minutes.
lvreduce -m 0 -A n  /dev/dsk/
(for 1-way mirroring)
For example:
lvreduce -m 0 -A n /dev/vg00/stand /dev/dsk/c2t5d0
lvreduce -m 0 -A n /dev/vg00/swap /dev/dsk/c2t5d0
lvreduce -m 0 -A n /dev/vg00/ /dev/dsk/c2t5d0
The number of logical volumes that this step needs is variable. For instance, on a mirror
of a root disk you should have at least three logical volumes: /stand (is
lvol1), /swap (is lvol2), and / (is lvol3). Note that if your root mirror disk dies,
you need to do the following:
— Follow the procedure in the section “Initial System Loader (ISL) Environment” in
the chapter “Boot Console Handler” in this document. At the Main Menu prompt
boot from the good disk.
— Type y at the Interact with ISL prompt and press Enter.
— Type this command at the ISL prompt and press Enter: hpux -lq
The -lq option stands for loss of quorum. Once this procedure has been completed the
system will boot.
Step 3
• Replace the faulty disk.
• Do an ioscan on the replaced disk to insure that it is accessible and also as a double
check that it is a proper replacement.
For example:
ioscan /dev/dsk/c2t5d0
Step 4
• Restore the LVM configuration/headers onto the replaced disk from your backup of the
LVM configuration:
vgcfgrestore -n  /dev/rdsk/cxtxdx
where x is the logical unit number of the disk that has been replaced.
For example:
vgcfgrestore -n /dev/vg00

20

/dev/rdsk/c2t5d0

Chapter 1

Product Information
Front Panel Components

Step 5
• Attach the new disk to the active volume group with the vgchange command.
vgchange -a y /dev/vg00
Step 6
• If the disk is not a mirror of a root disk, then skip this step.
• Run the mkboot command. For example:
mkboot /dev/rdsk/c2t5d0
• Run lvlnboot -R to relink the replaced disk into the Boot Data Reserved Area of all
the Physical volumes in the Volume group.
lvlnboot -R
Step 7
• Run the lvsync command to synchronize the physical extents of each logical volume
specified by logical volume path. Synchronization occurs only on physical extents that
are stale mirrors of the original logical extent.
lvsync /dev//
For example:
lvsync /dev/vg00/stand
lvsync /dev/vg00/swap
lvsync /dev/vg00/
At this stage, your system should be fully functioning. Use the xstm command to verify.

Input/Output (SIO) ports on this workstation. Consult the documentation that
accompanies the device for specific information concerning its use.
LAN 10/100 BaseT RJ45 Connector
Your workstation has a built-in Twisted Pair (TP) connector for the 802.3 (ETHERNET) or
10 BaseT/100 BaseT network. Your workstation will automatically select the correct
network setting.
USB Connectors
The two Universal Serial Bus (USB) connectors support only the HP keyboard, mouse, or
hub (D6804A). You can connect the HP keyboard, mouse, or hub in either of the USB
connectors.
The USB mouse and keyboard were shipped with your system unit. The HP hub can be
ordered separately. Note that you should consult the documentation that accompanies
each input device for specific information concerning its use.
For more information on the Universal Serial Bus, use your browser to access the following
URL:
http://www.usb.org.
HP Hub for USB Devices
The HP USB hub provides you with the ability to connect more than two USB devices to
the workstation, as well as the ability to extend the USB device’s cable length. As an
example, you may desire to locate the workstation’s keyboard and mouse at a greater
distance from the workstation, but the keyboard and mouse cables are not long enough. To
increase the cable length, you must make use of the USB hub’s extra cable length and
connect the hub’s cable to one of the two connectors on the back of the workstation. You
then connect the keyboard and mouse into their separate connectors on the USB hub.

Product Information
Internal Components

Microprocessors
The J6000 has two PA-8600 microprocessors with operating frequencies of 552 MHz. Each
processor has 0.5 MB instruction cache and a 1.0 MB data cache. Each microprocessor is
cooled by a “turbocooler” which consists of a cylindrical heat sink and an integrated fan.
Power Supply
The power system is comprised of one apparent power factor 500W output power supply.
The maximum power needed by a fully-configured SPU is 715W input power. The
temperature sensor is located in the front of the power supply. The power supply weighs
approximately 8 lbs. (4 kg.). Please note that the system speaker is located in the power
supply.
CAUTION

HP does not recommend and does not support the use of “ferro-active” or
“ferro-resonant” power correction in conjunction with the J6000 workstation.
This type of line conditioner represents an older technology that is not
compatible with the most recent designs in active Power Factor Correction
(PFC) power supplies such as those in the HP J6000 workstations.
“Ferro-active” or “ferro-resonant” line conditioners may cause an increase in
total harmonic distortion and may produce significant and unpredictable
voltage regulation anomalies.

PCI Cage
The PCI (Peripheral Connect Interface) cage is located on the left side of the system board,
behind the CD ROM and hard disk drive bays. There are three PCI-4X, 64 bit, 3.3v, 66
MHz slots which provide I/O expansion capabilities for the workstation. There are no
primary and secondary card slots.
CD ROM and Hard Disk Drive Bays
The J6000 supports two Low-Voltage Differential (LVD) SCSI hard disk drives (one
standard and one optional) and one optional ATAPI slim-line CD ROM drive. The internal
SCSI Bus is independent of the external SCSI Bus.
The hard disk drives are hot-pluggable. More information on this was provided earlier in
this chapter in the Hard Disk Drive section.
Voltage Regulator Modules (VRMs)
NOTE

28

These VRMs are designed to function ONLY with the J6000 power supply.
The output is 2VDC. The maximum current is 52A.

Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) Configurations
This section provides information for setting up or changing the configuration of the Field
Replaceable Units (FRUs) for the J6000 workstations.

Internal Storage Devices
Hard Disk Drive Configuration
The SCSI IDs for hard disk drives are hard-wired into the SCA Ultra2 Wide LVD SCSI
interfaces in the backplane of the two disk bays within the J6000 workstations. Hence,
SCSI IDs do not need to be set for the hard disk drives installed in these workstations.
From top to bottom, the pre-set SCSI IDs for hard disk drives are: 6 and 5.
Similarly, no jumpers are installed at the factory, nor is any jumper installation required
at the customer’s site, on either of the hard disk drive models that are supported with the
J6000 workstations. Both hard disk drive models may be installed as is into these
workstations.

Memory
There is a label on the inside cover of the workstation which shows the J6000’s memory
loading sequence.
J6000 Memory Configuration
The J6000 workstation has sixteen memory slots, labeled 0A, 0B to 7A, 7B. Memory
DIMMs must be installed in pairs in this workstation, and both DIMMs in each pair must
be of equal size. The DIMMs for this workstation currently come in 512 MB and 1 GB
sizes. This workstation comes with two 512 MB DIMMs as its standard configuration from
the factory. Thus, currently the minimum memory configuration for this workstation is
1GB, and the maximum is 16 GB.
DIMMs should be loaded in the order shown with 0A, 0B being the first pair of DIMMs
loaded, and 7A, 7B being the last pair loaded. Figure 2-1 shows the installation sequence.
NOTE

If memory is installed improperly or it is bad and fastboot is not enabled, your
workstation’s operating system will not boot-up and a DIMM error will
appear in your workstation’s LCD. For more information see the section
“Displaying and Setting Fastboot Mode” in Chapter 5.

3.3v, 66 MHz PCI (Peripheral Connect Interface) slots, providing I/O expansion
capabilities for the J6000 workstations.

CAUTION

34

The J6000 workstations supply about 75 Watts of power to the PCI slots. Do
not insert I/O cards that together draw more than 75 Watts, or damage to the
workstation may result. Please look at the specifications that come with your
individual I/O cards for power requirements. Note that each PCI slot can
provide up to 25 watts.

• Flowcharts for Troubleshooting
• Dealing with a Boot Failure
• Identifying LCD-Indicated Conditions
• Running System Verification Tests
• Running ODE-Based Diagnostics
• LED Diagnostics

Introduction to Troubleshooting
To troubleshoot HP VISUALIZE J6000 workstations, you must be familiar with the
HP-UX operating system and be able to start and stop processes. You should also be
familiar with the boot ROM diagnostics, ISL diagnostics, and the Support Tools Manager
online tests, which are described in this chapter.
First note any error or status messages, and then run the power-up boot ROM diagnostics,
known as Selftest. If the Selftest diagnostics fail, replace the FRU that is indicated. If the
tests pass but you still suspect a problem, run the ISL diagnostics and the Support Tools
Manager online tests.
For a complete description of using ISL diagnostics and using the Support Tools Manager,
see the Support Media User’s Manual (Part Number B3782-90176).

Flowcharts for Troubleshooting
The following four figures contain troubleshooting flowcharts you can follow to isolate a
failing Field Replaceable Unit (FRU). Figure 3-1 on the next page contains the main
troubleshooting flowchart. Figures 3-2 through 3-4 on the following pages contain the
flowcharts for console, bootable device, and HP-UX troubleshooting, respectively.

Dealing with a Boot Failure

Dealing with a Boot Failure
This section contains information for searching for bootable media, stable storage, boot
command notations, supported boot paths and the Intermediate System Loader (ISL)
environment. Some of the examples in this section require the use of the Boot Console
Handler, which is discussed in Chapter 5 of this handbook.

Special Considerations
When dealing with boot failures, you will need to consider the scenarios in this section.
• To boot from a known device containing a bootable operating system, type the following
at the prompt:
Main Menu: Enter command > boot device [Enter]

where device
Notation.

is the hardware path to the device, specified in Mnemonic Style

Example: to boot an operating system stored on an IDE CD ROM, go to the Main Menu
of the Boot Console Handler and then type the following command at the prompt:
Main Menu: Enter command > boot ide [Enter]

The operating system on the specified device is used to start the workstation.
• To interact with the Initial System Loader (ISL) before booting the workstation, type
the following at the prompt:
Main Menu: Enter command > boot device [Enter]

You are prompted: Interact with ISL (Y or N) > y [Enter]
Answering yes (y) causes the ISL to be loaded from the specified device. After a short
time, the following prompt appears on the screen:
ISL>

ISL is the program that actually controls the loading of the operating system. By
interacting with ISL, you can choose to load an alternate version of the HP-UX
operating system.
For example, if the usual kernel (/stand/vmunix) on the root disk has become
corrupted, boot the workstation from the backup kernel (/stand/vmunix.prev) by
typing the following at the ISL> prompt:
ISL> hpux /stand/vmunix.prev [Enter]

• To find the location of the bootable operating systems on the various media in the file
system, use the search ipl command. See the next subsection, “Searching for
Bootable Media.”

Chapter 3

41

Troubleshooting
Dealing with a Boot Failure

Searching for Bootable Media
To list all devices that contain bootable media, go to the Main Menu of the Boot Console
Handler, and then type the following at the prompt:
Main Menu: Enter command > search ipl [Enter]

The search command searches all buses. The search may turn up more devices than there
are lines on the display. If you are using a text terminal, you can control the progress of the
search from the terminal’s keyboard by doing any of the following:
• To temporarily suspend the search, press [Ctrl]-[S].
• To continue the search, press [Ctrl]-[Q].
• To halt the search, press any other key.
These flow-control commands do not work with a bitmapped display, but such a display can
show more than forty lines of text, so you are unlikely to need them.
To search for devices of just one type that actually contain bootable media, go to the Main
Menu of the Boot Console Handler, and then type the following at the prompt:
Main Menu: Enter command > search ipl device_type [Enter]

where device_type is one of the following:
• fwscsi is the internal, Ultra2 Wide LVD (Low Voltage Differential) SCSI bus.
• scsi is the external SE/LVD SCSI bus.
• lan is all connections to the built-in LAN.
• ide is the built-in CD ROM drive.
• pcin is an optional SCSI interface in slot number n.

Stable Storage
Stable Storage is non-volatile memory associated with the PA-RISC processor module.
Stable Storage is used by the processor (CPU) to store device path information, the state of
the boot flags, HPMC error information, and operating system initialization data.

Boot Command Notations
The boot command supports the following two notations:
• Mnemonic
• Path number
Type help scsi or help lan for more information on the boot path parameters.
Here are examples of mnemonic notation:
• boot with no parameters selects the primary boot path in stable storage.
• boot with the alternate or alt parameter selects the alternate boot path in stable
storage.

42

Chapter 3

Troubleshooting
Dealing with a Boot Failure

Here is an example of path number notation:
• boot p1 [Enter] attempts to boot from the second path in a list generated by a
previous search command.

Supported Boot Paths
SCSI devices are bootable when connected to any SCSI port on the system. Workstations
can only boot from the built-in LAN port. The workstation can be booted from the CD ROM
drive for software installation.

Intermediate System Loader (ISL) Environment
The ISL environment provides the means to load the operating system (HP-UX)
environment. The ISL environment also provides an offline platform to execute diagnostic
and utility programs from a boot device when HP-UX does not load.
The ISL program is the first program loaded into main memory from an external media
(LAN, disk, or tape) and launched by the initial program loader (IPL) routine during the
Boot Administration environment.
The ISL environment provides the following capabilities:
• Execute user-entered commands to modify boot device paths and boot options in stable
storage.
• Run off-line diagnostic programs and utilities.
• Provide automatic booting of the HP-UX operating system after power-on or reset.

Identifying LCD-Indicated Conditions

Identifying LCD-Indicated Conditions
This workstation uses a 2-line LCD, with up to 16-characters per line, to display
firmware/operating system progress codes. These codes are referred to as chassis codes.
The information displayed on the LCD has the following format:
XXX YYYY: ZZZZZZ
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

(Line 1)
(Line 2)

Where:
XXX

Three-character Operating Status

YYYY

Four-digit hex code identifying the code module being executed

ZZZZZZ

Six-digit FRU descriptor

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Diagnostic message of up to 16 characters

The 3-character operating status can be one of the following:
FLT (fault)

A hardware error has been detected

TST (test)

Hardware being tested

INI (initialize)

Hardware being initialized

SHU (shutdown)

System being shutdown

WRN (warning)

A non-optimal operating condition exists

RUN (running)

The operating system is running

Selftest Failures
Chassis codes are the key to debugging selftest errors. If a failure is found during selftest,
chassis codes are displayed in the system LCD. To debug a failure:
1. In Table 3-1 starting on the next page, find the chassis code listed on the LCD.
2. In the Boot Console Handler, use the Service Menu’s pim, pdt, and ChassisCodes
commands to get additional information about the failure.
The FRU column in Table 3-1 shows messages printed on the LCD that refer to system
FRUs. All codes are listed in numeric order.

44

Chapter 3

Troubleshooting
Identifying LCD-Indicated Conditions

Memory Failures
The J6000 workstations require special Memory Page Deallocation to be implemented.
This feature allows the workstation to provide information to the operating system about
memory failures.
HP-UX uses this information to map out failing memory areas and continue normal
operation. You can check the Memory Page Deallocation Table (PDT) using the pdt
command in the Service menu of the Boot Console Handler (refer to Chapter 5). If a failing
DIMM is replaced, use the command pdt clear in the Service Menu to clear out the PDT.

Running System Verification Tests

Running System Verification Tests
HP-UX uses an online diagnostics product called the Support Tools Manager that allows
system operation verification.
Three interfaces are available with the Support Tools Manager: a command line interface
(accessed through the cstm command), a menu-driven interface (accessed through the
mstm command), and the graphical user interface (accessed through the xstm command).
For more information on these user interfaces, see the online man pages by entering the
following at a command line prompt:
man cstm [Enter]
man mstm [Enter]
man xstm [Enter]
For information on the enhanced online diagnostics, see the Support Media User’s Manual
(HP Part Number B3782-90176).
To access the Support Tools Manager, perform the following steps:
1. In a terminal window, type the following at the # prompt to invoke the command line
interface:
# cstm [Enter]
2. The following message appears:
Support Tool Manager
Version A.01.00
Type ‘help’ for a list of available commands.
CSTM>
3. To verify the system operation, type the following at the CSTM> prompt:
CSTM> verify all [Enter]
Messages similar to the following appear:
Verification has started on device (CPU).
Verification has started on device (FPU).
CSTM> Verification of (FPU) has completed.
CSTM> Verification of (CPU) has completed.
4. Press [Enter] to return to the CSTM> prompt after all test results are reported.
5. To exit the Support Tools Manager, enter the following:
CSTM> exit [Enter]
If any tests failed, run Selftest and ISL diagnostics to isolate the problem.

Running ODE-Based Diagnostics

Running ODE-Based Diagnostics
The Offline Diagnostic Environment (ODE) consists of diagnostic modules for testing and
verifying system operation. ODE provides all the necessary functions for the user to load
specified tests and interact with those tests.
ODE is an ISL utility. To boot ODE:
1. Invoke the ISL environment from the system disk or a CD ROM.
2. Type ode [Enter] after the ISL> prompt to invoke ODE from the LIF directory on
the system disk. The prompt changes to ODE>.
Not all of the test modules are available on all systems. To see what test modules are
available to run on this system, type ls at the ODE> prompt. The available modules include
the following:
• astrodiag – tests and verifies the basic functionality of the Astro memory
controller/I/O chip.
• siodiag – tests and verifies the basic functionality of the SuperI/O multifunction I/O
chip, including serial, parallel, USB, and so forth.
• wdiag – tests and verifies the functionality of the PA-RISC chip.
• memtest – tests and verifies the memory arrays. If an error is detected, the diagnostic
reports the memory card and its slot number that needs replacement. It also provides a
map of the memory configuration so that the user can identify the type of memory and
its slot location.
• fupdate – updates the system’s Processor Dependent Code (PDC) firmware in the
EEPROM.
• mapper – identifies the configuration of HPPA systems. It displays path, identification,
and revision information of I/O components, configuration of memory controllers,
processors, co-processors, cache, and TLB, as well as processor board component
revisions and values of various HPPA system identifiers, revisions, and capabilities.
For further information on the various ODE commands and a complete listing of the
command set, type help [Enter] at the ODE> prompt or at the prompt of one of the test
modules.

Using the System Board LEDs for Troubleshooting

Using the System Board LEDs for Troubleshooting
This section provides a description of the system board’s Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
and how to use them for troubleshooting. These LEDs are located inside of the workstation
on the system board’s left-back edge. See Figure 3-5.. Note that you will have to view these
LEDs through the airflow holes on the back of your workstation.
Figure 3-5. System Board LEDs

For those system problems that this section is not able to solve, you will have to call your
local HP Support Representative. Before you call, record the state (on, off or blinking) of
your LEDs and give this information to your local HP support representative. The
representative will use this information to determine the course of action to take.

Interpreting the LED Information
Table 3-2. explains how to interpret the information the system board LEDs provide. Note
that the SUPPLY LED is reserved for future functionality.

There are six LED blink sequences supported by the System Controller. The LED blink
sequences are shown in Table 3-3. Note that each blink of the LED represents a tenth of a
second (0.1 sec.).
If the FANS LED is ever stuck either ON or OFF, a system problem has occurred. This
system problem is most likely an I2C bus hang. A potential fix may be to check that the
power supply cables are correctly plugged in. If this does not work, call you local HP
Support Representative.

FRU Removal and Replacement

FRU Removal and Replacement
The procedures in this section describe how to remove and replace J6000 workstation
FRUs. Observe the electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions and the prerequisites for
removing and replacing FRUs in the next two subsections, as well as any NOTEs,
CAUTIONs, and WARNINGs in each FRU removal and replacement procedure.
NOTE

If you need to install a new FRU, simply follow the procedures for replacing
the FRU in this chapter. (That is, replacement procedures are the same as
those for installing new FRUs.)

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
To prevent damage to the J6000 workstation, observe all of the following ESD precautions
while performing FRU removal and replacement procedures:
1. Remove all ESD-generating materials from the work area in which you will remove and
replace a workstation’s FRU(s).
2. Stand on an ESD (static-free) mat.
3. Wear a grounding wrist strap to ensure that any accumulated electrostatic charge
discharges from your body to ground.
4. Connect all equipment together, including the ESD mat, grounding wrist strap,
workstation, and peripherals.
5. Keep uninstalled printed circuit boards in their protective antistatic bags.
6. Once you have removed printed circuit boards from their protective antistatic bags,
handle the printed circuit boards by their edges only.

84

Chapter 4

Field Replaceable Units (FRUs)
FRU Removal and Replacement

Prerequisite Steps for All Removal and Replacement Procedures
You must complete the following steps before performing any of the FRU removal and
replacement procedures in this chapter:
1. Power off the workstation (either by executing shutdown -h as root, or by simply
pressing the power switch on the front panel of the workstation, which accomplishes
the same thing), as well as the monitor and any attached peripheral devices.
2. Unplug the workstation power cord and all peripheral devices from AC power outlets.
3. Attach the static-grounding wrist strap by following the instructions on the package.
Attach the sticky end of the wrist strap to bare metal on the rear panel of the
workstation.
NOTE

To make access to the internal FRUs easier, you may want to place the
workstation on a table or workbench instead of leaving it on the floor.

CAUTION

This workstation is designated for two-person lifting; it weighs approximately
36 to 49 pounds (12 to 22 kg), depending on the configuration. Do not attempt
to lift it by yourself, or injury may result.

This section describes how to remove and replace the J6000 workstation’s front bezel and
top cover.
Note that you can perform certain operations, like removing and replacing hard disk
drives, simply removing the front bezel of the workstation. Other operations require more
access to the interior of the workstation, so you will need to remove the front bezel or top
panel to perform those procedures.

Boot Console Handler
Booting the Workstation

Booting the Workstation
You usually start a workstation by turning it on and waiting for HP-UX to boot
automatically. However, you may not always want the usual boot sequence to occur.
For example, you may want to start the workstation from an operating system that is
stored on a device that is different from the usual boot device. If the normal operating
system kernel or the disk on which it resides becomes damaged or unusable, you may wish
to boot from a different disk or perhaps from another type of device, such as a CD ROM
drive.
Here are some possible booting scenarios you may encounter:
• If you know which device you want to boot from, and you know that it contains a
bootable operating system, follow the directions in “Accessing the Boot Console
Handler” on, and then type the following at the prompt:
Main Menu: Enter command > boot device [Enter]
where device is the hardware path to the device, specified in Mnemonic Style
Notation. For example, if you wish to boot an operating system that is stored on an IDE
CD ROM drive, you would type the following command at the prompt:
Main Menu: Enter command > boot IDE [Enter]
• If you do not know which device you want to boot from, then type the following at the
prompt:
Main Menu: Enter command > search [Enter]
A message similar to the following will be displayed:
Path Number

Device Path

Device Type

-------------

-------------

------------

P0
P1

IDE
FWSCSI.6.0

TEAC CD-532E-B
SEAGATE ST39102LC

At the prompt, you might type the following:
Main Menu: Enter command > boot P1 [Enter]
Note that the operating system on the specified device (P1) is used to boot the system
(also see the next section, “Searching for Bootable Media”).

Chapter 5

109

Boot Console Handler
Booting the Workstation

• If you wish to interact with the Initial System Loader (ISL) before booting the
workstation, follow the directions in the section “Accessing the Boot Console Interface”
found in this chapter, and type the following at the prompt:
Main Menu: Enter command > boot device [Enter]
The following prompt will appear:
Interact with ISL (Y,N,Q)>
Answering yes (Y) causes the ISL to be loaded from the specified device. After a short
time, the following prompt appears on the screen:
ISL>
ISL is the program that actually controls the loading of the operating system. By
interacting with ISL, you can choose to load an alternate version of the HP-UX
operating system. If you do not want to interact with ISL, you must enter no (N).
For example, if the usual kernel (/stand/vmunix) on the root disk (fwscsi.6.0) has
become corrupted, and you wish to boot the workstation from the backup kernel
(/stand/vmunix.prev), type the following at the ISL> prompt:
ISL> hpux /stand/vmunix.prev [Enter]
• If you do not know which media in the file systems have bootable operating systems,
you can find them with the search ipl command. See the next section, “Searching for
Bootable Media.”

110

Chapter 5

Boot Console Handler
Searching for Bootable Media

Searching for Bootable Media
To list all devices that contain bootable media, follow the directions in the section
“Accessing the Boot Console Handler” found in this chapter, and type the following at the
prompt:
Main Menu: Enter command > search ipl [Enter]

The search command searches all buses. The search may turn up more devices than there
are lines on the display. If you are using a text terminal, you can control the progress of the
search from the terminal’s keyboard by doing any of the following:
• To temporarily suspend the search, press [Ctrl]-[S].
• To continue the search, press [Ctrl]-[Q].
• To halt the search, press any other key.
These flow-control commands do not work with a bit-mapped display, but such a display
can show more than forty lines of text, so you are unlikely to need them.
To search for devices of just one type that actually contain bootable media, follow the
directions in the section “Accessing the Boot Console Handler” found in this chapter, and
then type the following at the prompt:
Main Menu: Enter command > search ipl device_type [Enter]

where device_type is one of the following:
• fwscsi is the internal, Wide LVD (Low Voltage Differential) SCSI bus.
• scsi is the external, SE/LVD ( Single-Ended/Low-Voltage Differential) SCSI bus.
• lan is all connections to the built-in LAN.
• ide is the built-in CD ROM drive.
• pcin is an optional SCSI interface in slot number n.
For more information about the search command, type the following at the prompt:
Main Menu: Enter command > help search [Enter]

Boot Console Handler
Setting the Auto Boot and Auto Search Flags

Setting the Auto Boot and Auto Search Flags
The auto boot and auto search flags are variables stored in the system’s non-volatile
memory. (Non-volatile memory retains its contents even after power is turned off.) If you
reset these flags to new values, the change takes effect the next time you reboot the
workstation.
To examine the state of the auto boot and auto search flags, type the following:
Configuration Menu: Enter command > auto [Enter]

If auto boot is set to on, the workstation automatically attempts to boot the operating
system when powered on. If auto boot is set to off, the workstation enters the boot
administration mode of the Boot Console Handler.
The state of the auto search flag determines how the workstation seeks a boot device
during autoboot. If auto search is set to on, the workstation will search for other boot
devices if the primary boot device is not available. If auto search is off, the workstation
will default to the boot administration mode if it can’t see the primary boot device.
To change the state of the auto boot or auto search flags, type either:
Configuration Menu: Enter command > auto boot state [Enter]

OR:
Configuration Menu: Enter command > auto search state [Enter]

where state is on or off.

Displaying and Setting the Security Mode

Displaying and Setting the Security Mode
The secure flag is a variable stored in non-volatile memory. (Non-volatile memory retains
its contents even after power is turned off.) If you reset this flag to a new value, the change
takes effect the next time you reboot the workstation.
When the secure flag is set to on, auto boot and auto search are enabled and cannot be
stopped. The workstation boots from the default boot paths regardless of user intervention.
To display the current setting for the secure flag, type the following:
Configuration Menu: Enter command > secure [Enter]

To set the secure flag on, type the following:
Configuration Menu: Enter command > secure on [Enter]

To set the secure flag off, you need to disconnect all possible boot devices to interrupt the
boot sequence and force the prompt to the Boot Console Handler. Next, type the following:
Configuration Menu: Enter command > secure off [Enter]

Boot Console Handler
Displaying and Setting Fastboot Mode

Displaying and Setting Fastboot Mode
When fastboot is enabled (set to on), the workstation does a quick check of the memory
and skips some processor self tests during its power-on self tests. This enables the
workstation to complete its boot process quicker. The default factory setting is for
fastboot to be enabled (set to on).
When fastboot is disabled (set to off), more extensive memory and processor testing is
performed during the selftests, causing the boot process to take longer.
If you are experiencing difficulty in booting the workstation, set fastboot to off and
reboot the system. The more extensive testing may reveal the error condition.
To display the status of fastboot, type the following:
Configuration Menu: Enter command > fastboot [Enter]

To disable fastboot, type the following:
Configuration Menu: Enter command > fastboot off [Enter]

To enable fastboot, type the following:
Configuration Menu: Enter command > fastboot on [Enter]

Boot Console Handler
Displaying the LAN Station Address

Displaying the LAN Station Address
It is sometimes necessary to supply the LAN station address of the workstation to other
users. For example, if the workstation is to become a member of a cluster, the cluster
administrator needs to know the LAN station address in order to add the workstation to
the cluster.
A LAN station address is the label that uniquely identifies the LAN connection for the
workstation at the link level (the hardware level).
To display the workstation’s LAN station address, type the following:
Information Menu: Enter command > lanaddress [Enter]

The LAN station address is displayed as a twelve-digit number in hexadecimal notation,
similar to the following:
LAN Station Addresses:

001083-000429

The address is for the workstation’s built-in LAN interface.

Boot Console Handler
Using Remote Power-On

Using Remote Power-On
The J6000 workstation has a remote power-on feature that allows you to power up and
shut down your workstation remotely through the RS232 port. The RS232 receive line is
monitored by the system board Remote Power Controller (RPC). This controller responds
to the following commands:
Press:

Type:

Description

Esc

rsys^on

Turns the system on

Esc

rsys^off

Turns the system off

Esc

rsys^ton

Turns the system off without soft-power down

Esc

pic^sleep

Causes RPC to stop responding to commands

If the remote-power jumper is set to the enable position (factory default), the Remote
Power Controller will always be able to turn on a system the first time AC power is
applied. Once the system is powered up, further command processing will depend on the
state of the firmware’s “remote power” bit, which is set using the Boot Console Handler
(see the “Boot Console Handler” chapter in this document). If the remote power bit is set to
ON, the Remote Power Controller will continue to process commands only if the Remote
Power Controller has not been put into the sleep mode. If the remote power bit is set to
OFF, the Remote Power Controller will not respond to commands.
If the Remote Power Controller has been placed in the sleep mode, you can re-enable the
Remote Power Controller by following this procedure:
1. Reboot your workstation. If auto boot is turned off, the boot sequence automatically
stops at the boot console Main Menu. If auto boot is turned on, you will see the
following message:
Processor is starting auto boot process. To
discontinue, press any key within 10 seconds.
If auto boot and auto search are both turned on, you will see the following message:
Processor is booting from first available device. To discontinue, press any key within 10
seconds.
NOTE

128

If you are using a power-saving monitor, you will have less than 10 seconds
from the time this message appears to press a key.

Chapter 5

Boot Console Handler
Using Remote Power-On

2. Press any key. You will then see the message:
Boot terminated
The Main Menu of the boot console appears.
3. At the Main Menu prompt, type the following and press Enter:
Main Menu: Enter command > service
4. Turn remote power off by typing the following at the prompt and press Enter:
Service Menu: Enter command > RemotePower OFF
Next, turn remote power on by typing the following at the prompt and press Enter:
Service Menu: Enter command > RemotePower ON
The Remote Power Controller is now enabled.
5. Return to the Main Menu by typing the following at the prompt and press Enter:
Service Menu: Enter command > main
6. Continue booting the system by typing the following at the prompt and press Enter:
Main Menu: Enter command > boot
7. Answer “N” to the question, INTERACT WITH IPL (Y,N,Q)?

Troubleshooting Hint for an Unresponsive RPC
If the Remote Power Controller (RPC) is enabled and it seems to be unresponsive, press
the Enter key several (approximately 15 times) times. You need to do this because the
Remote Power Controller auto senses the baud rate at the beginning of each command
(that is, when you press Enter). It does this by measuring the width of the start bit of the
first character it sees. Because the Remote Power Controller does not know the difference
between the beginning of a command or any other data that may occur on the receive line,
the Remote Power Controller can set the baud rate to an incorrect value if the first
character it sees has the lowest order bit or bits set. The Remote Power Controller has an
input buffer of a fixed size; therefore, pressing the Enter key 15 or more times causes the
buffer to overflow, resetting the Remote Power Controller. If the baud rate was set to some
real extreme value, you may have to try this process several times.

Boot Console Handler
Setting the Fan Speed

Setting the Fan Speed
There are two fan speed settings available on the J6000 workstation. The RackMount fan
speed is used for J6000s that are installed in a rack. The DeskSide fan speed is used for
J6000s that are used as desk-side systems. These fan speeds are set using the Boot
Console Handler (bch). To set the fan speeds, follow the procedures discussed in this
section.

Rack-Mount Fan Speed
If you currently have a desk-side workstation that you want to convert to a rack-mount
workstation, you need to change the workstation’s fan speed. To do this, follow this
procedure:
1. Turn on the workstation and press the Tab key until a select display message appears.
Select the display frequency and resolution that are best for your workstation.
2. Stop the boot process by pressing any key before the ten-second limit. This gets you to
the Boot Console Handler’s (bch) Main Menu. You will only need to do this if you have
autoboot turned on; otherwise, the system stops at the bch Main Menu. When the
Main Menu prompt appears, type:
Main Menu: Enter command > configuration
3. Enter the following command at the Configuration Menu prompt:
Configuration Menu: Enter command > FanChoice RackMount
4. Return to the Main Menu and enter this command at the prompt to continue booting:
Main Menu: Enter command > boot

Desk-Side Fan Speed
If you currently have a rack-mount workstation that you want to convert to a desk-side
workstation, you need to change the workstation’s fan speed. To do this, follow this
procedure:
1. Turn on the workstation and press the Tab key until a select display message appears.
Select the display frequency and resolution that are best for your workstation.
2. Stop the boot process by pressing any key before the ten-second limit. This gets you to

Initial System Loader (ISL) Environment

Initial System Loader (ISL) Environment
The ISL environment provides the means to load the operating system (HP-UX)
environment. The ISL environment also provides an offline platform to execute optional
diagnostic and utility programs from a boot device when HP-UX does not load.
The ISL program is the first program loaded into main memory from an external medium
(LAN, disk, or tape) and launched by the initial program loader (IPL) routine from the
Boot Administration environment.
The ISL environment provides the following capabilities:
• Execute user-entered commands to modify boot device paths and boot options in stable
storage.
• Run offline diagnostic programs and utilities.
• Provide automatic booting of the HP-UX operating system after power-on or reset.

Invoking ISL from the Boot Console Handler
Perform the following steps to invoke ISL from the Boot Console Handler:
1. Follow the directions in the section “Accessing the Boot Console Handler” found in this
chapter, and type the following at the prompt:
Main Menu: Enter command > boot device [Enter]

You are prompted:
Interact with ISL (Y or N) > y [Enter]

2. Answering yes (y) causes the ISL to be loaded from the specified device. After a short
time, the following prompt appears on the screen:
ISL>

ISL is the program that actually controls the loading of the operating system. By
interacting with ISL, you can choose to load an alternate version of the HP-UX
operating system.
For example, if the usual kernel (/stand/vmunix) on the root disk has become
corrupted, and you wish to boot the workstation from the backup kernel
(/stand/vmunix.prev), type the following at the ISL> prompt:
ISL> hpux /stand/vmunix.prev [Enter]

Appendix Overview

Appendix Overview
This appendix contains the following main sections:
• SCSI Bus Differences
• SCSI Restrictions
• SCSI Bus Length Constraints
• Assigning SCSI Device IDs
• Connecting to the SCSI Ports
NOTE

When attaching external SCSI devices, be sure to terminate the last device on
the external SCSI bus. The J6000 does note require external SCSI
termination if no external SCSI devices are connected.

SCSI Bus Differences
A SCSI (Small Computer Systems Interface) bus is an IEEE standard bus for connecting a
workstation to internal and external SCSI devices running at different speeds. There may
be one device connected to the external SCSI port, or several SCSI devices may be
daisy-chained together and connected to the external SCSI port. Examples of these SCSI
devices are 4 mm DDS-format tape drives, CD ROM drives, and hard disk drives.
The J6000 has a single dedicated external SCSI bus which supports both low voltage
differential SCSI (LVD) and single-ended SCSI. The J6000 will also support wide (68 pin)
or narrow (50 pin via a 68-50 pin adapter cable) SCSI. The following table shows the
specification differences between these SCSI buses.
NOTE

Do not mix SE and LVD SCSI devices on the same SCSI bus as this can cause
reduction in device performance.

CAUTION

A narrow SCSI device can not be placed between two wide devices.

SCSI Restrictions
This section describes the SCSI restrictions that apply to the J6000 workstations in the
following areas:
• Cables
• Terminators
• SCSI configuration constraint
NOTE

The J6000 SCSI bus supports only 7 narrow SCSI devices because address 7
is reserved by the system. Similarly, the SCSI bus supports only 15 wide
SCSI devices because address 7 is reserved by the system.

Cables
Only SCSI cables approved by HP can be used to connect a J6000 workstation to SCSI
devices. HP offers the following SCSI cables for SE SCSI devices:
• 1.0 meter (3.281 feet) cable (HP Product Number C2908A)
• 1.5 meter (4.922 feet) cable (HP Product Number C2956A)
HP offers the following SCSI cables for LVD SCSI devices:
• 0.5 meter (1.64 feet) cable (HP Product Number C2978A)
• 1.5 meter (4.922 feet) cable (HP Product Number C2979A)
CAUTION

SCSI cables approved by HP are designed to function within the SCSI
tolerances for HP devices. Use of other cables can result in significant
problems with system operation.

Always use the shortest possible cable(s) for a configuration.
NOTE

See “SCSI Bus Length Constraints” to determine the total length of SCSI
cables.

Terminators
The J6000 workstation has auto termination and does not require external termination.
NOTE

Appendix B

The last external device connected to the SCSI bus must be terminated with a
SCSI terminator.

143

SCSI Connections
Appendix Overview

SCSI Configuration Constraints
The number of SCSI devices per bus is limited (see Table B-1 earlier in this appendix).
Before adding another SCSI device, determine if the system can support the additional
device.
SCSI Bus Length Constraints
This section discusses SCSI bus lengths constraints for the SE and LVD SCSI devices.
SE SCSI Bus Length
When the J6000 external SCSI bus is used in single-ended (SE) mode, the maximum cable
length for a SE SCSI bus is 3 meters.
NOTE

When calculating the total SE SCSI cable/bus/trace length used externally,
remember to account for cables connecting external devices together as well
as the bus length internal to those devices.

There are two total cable length specifications you need to consider when dealing with an
SE SCSI bus on a workstation. Note that these specifications are based on the requirement
that the SCSI device being connected to the SE SCSI bus does not exceed the maximum
capacitance of 25 picofarads (pF). Please check with the vendor of the SCSI device if you
are not sure of the device’s maximum capacitance.
The total cable length specifications are as follows:
• For a total of one to four devices being connected to the SE SCSI bus, the total length of
cable used should not exceed 3.0 meters.
• For a total of five to eight devices being connected to the SE SCSI bus, the total length
of cable used should not exceed 1.5 meters.
NOTE

The computer is counted as one of the devices, and the internal length of its
cabling is 0.15 meters. This length needs to be considered in determining the
total cable length.

LVD SCSI Bus Length
When the J6000 external SCSI bus is used in low voltage differential (LVD) mode, the
maximum cable length for an LVD SCSI bus is 12 meters.
NOTE

144

When calculating the total LVD SCSI cable/bus/trace length used externally,
remember to account for cables connecting external devices together as well
as the bus length internal to those devices.

Assigning External SCSI Device IDs
You can determine which SCSI devices are currently in use by looking under the H/W Path
heading in the output from the ioscan command. The entry 10/0/15/0 is the built-in SCSI
bus. For devices connected to the built-in SCSI bus, such as disks, the number between the
two decimals and after the third “/” in the hardware path specifies the SCSI ID for that
device. For example, a hardware path of 10/0/15/0.2.0 specifies an SCSI device at SCSI ID

Assigning Internal SCSI Device IDs
You can determine which LVD SCSI devices are currently in use by looking under the H/W
Path heading in the output from the ioscan command discussed previously. The entry
10/0/15/1 is the built-in LVD SCSI bus. For devices connected to the built-in LVD SCSI bus,
such as disks, the number between the two decimals and after the third “/” in the hardware
path specifies the SCSI ID for that device. For example, a hardware path of 10/0/15/1.5.0
specifies a LVD SCSI device at SCSI ID 5. Here is the breakdown of the hardware path:
