Ibm System P5 Serial Connection On Laptop

Hi all.As part of my upgrade from AIX 5.2 to 5.3, I have upgraded the firmware on my P51A dev server. I still need to upgrade the ethernet adapter firmware before I go to 5.3 though, but I was unable to get a console connection up between my notebook and P5 server? I do not have an HMC.I was able to make a connection with a serial-serial cable to my IBM SAN switches, but not to any of my P5 servers.

I am making use of ZOC Terminal software and have tried a BAUD rate or 9600 with 8N1, as this is what a tech from IBM UK suggested, but I am still unable to connect. Do you have an async card in this system that you are using to connect the console? Your print out show adapter sa0, which signifies such. If not, and you are using one of the vty ports (S1 S2) on the back of the system, you should assign the console to that vty port (smit), and not to a tty. Tyically you cannot create a tty device on a vty port.vty ports have a default baud rate of 19,200 (8 1 n). This cannot be changed using smit, you must use ASM to do it. Although it appears that smit is changing it, there is no affect on the actual settings.Also, since you indicated you upgraded the firware on this system, I assume the console connection must have worked previously.

I have done many firmware upgrades on P5 systems and have never seen this happen. If you put the new firmware on only the temporary side, go back and boot from the old firmware (permanent) and see what happens.RE: Unable to create console connection between PC and P5 (TechnicalUser). Serial cable for RS6000 / pSeries / system P:Pre p5 systems use 9600, 8. 1 by default, post p5 use 19200, 8, n, 1.ASCII art time (sorry if it goes horribly wrong - try cut and paste into a plain text editor like notepad, it may work there.
