HMC不能open terminal windows的解决方法之一

新到HMC 7310-CR4，跟原来的7310-C03有些不同，主要是外观直接就是显示xServer 3550，本地只有一个SATA硬盘。

机器预装了6.1.3，感觉界面比V7差多，因此，直接下载了7.3.4。然后重新安装。一切都比较顺利。

在重装之前，碰到不能打开终端窗口的问题。选择open terminal windows时，显示:

Open in progress
几个乱码
Open completed。

 

因为HMC到货较晚，我们通过显卡连接显示器安装好了系统。发现问题之后，到网上找了一些解决方法，如下：

第一种：多按几下CTRL+C和Enter，结果还是老样子。

第二种：使用smitty更改console为vty0（已经设置login enable），还是老样子。

第三种：将默认profile删除了，重新建立一个新的，还是老样子。

第四种：新建一个新的分区，分配了所有资源（我们使用完全分区），然后重新启动计算机，终于看到启动信息了，可惜启动完成之后，不能显示登录提示符。

后来终于搜到在IBM网站上的一个解决办法，这个方法应该也适合于使用串口安装的系统。

原文如下，希望对大家有用。在最后提示选择控制台的时候，我这里是0，可能具体情况有所差异。

AIX Console (HMC vterm) not working with new System p server
  
Technote (troubleshooting)
  
Problem(Abstract)
System p is newly attached to a hardware management console (HMC) and the server property for manufactoring default configuration (MDC) is false. The vterm console works in hardware mode (i.e. SMS and for displaying hardware parameters when lpar is activating). However, the vterm does not display login prompt after AIX has been booted.  
  


Symptom

  

Cause
AIX was installed on system p server when it was attached to an async console prior to attaching system to HMC.  
  

Resolving the problem
To reconfigure the AIX's console device to use the new hardware connection you will need to do the following:
Either telnet (or SSH) into the server if networking had been configured or boot into a maintenance shell and run following procedure.

The procedure will completely remove vty0, vsa0 (and any other vty or vsa device) and syscons objects from the ODM and allow them to be recreated by AIX when system reboots.

Once telneted in or in a maintenance shell, as root execute the following:

# odmdelete -q name=vty0 -o CuDv

# odmdelete -q name=vty0 -o CuDv

# odmdelete -q name=vsa0 -o CuDv

# odmdelete -q name=vsa1 -o CuDv

# odmdelete -q attribute=syscons -o CuAt



# bosboot -ad /dev/ipldevice <---- customer hung trying to run this
command

# sync

#reboot

When system comes up it should reconfigure vsa0 and vty0
and since we removed "syscons" from ODM it should prompt
you to select a terminal. This time, the only device
connected for a console should be the HMC's vterm.

You should messages similar to following when LPAR is booting back up:
-------------------------------------------------------
******* Please define the System Console. *********

Type a 1 and press Enter to use this terminal as the
system console.

1

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

At this point you should see AIX console output being displayed in
the HMC vterm.
