Turn off flow control if it's on, save the config as default and restart minicom. Also, make sure you are using the HP supplied cable and not some one off or general serial cable. In true HP form, it's a custom cable... If that doesn't work, here are some things to check.. 1. The HP cable is plugged into the _front_ of the MSA (the back is all fibre) 2. Make sure your serial port is not being used by something else (serial terminal) 3. umm, I dunno, these are pretty simple... Good luck Regards, Corey -----Original Message----- From: linux-cluster-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-cluster-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steve Nelson Sent: Wednesday, April 12, 2006 4:11 PM To: linux clustering Subject: [OT] Serial Connection to MSA1000 Hi All, I'm assuming that most of us on this list have used HP MSA kit, so excuse me a slightly off-topic question! I've got a cluster connected to an MSA1000, but want to make some changes on the MSA1000 itself. I've got a dumb terminal that runs procom, but its pretty horrid, so I've connected the controller direct to the serial port of one of the linux machines to use minicom. As per HP's documentation, I've set it up as: pr port /dev/ttyS0 pu baudrate 19200 pu bits 8 pu parity N pu stopbits 1 However, I get no response. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot? Anyone got this working? S. -- Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster -- Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
