HMC不能open terminal windows的解決方法之一

新到HMC 7310-CR4，跟原來的7310-C03有些不同，主要是外觀直接就是顯示xServer 3550，本地只有一個SATA硬碟。

機器預裝了6.1.3，感覺介面比V7差多，因此，直接下載了7.3.4。然後重新安裝。一切都比較順利。

在重灌之前，碰到不能開啟終端視窗的問題。選擇open terminal windows時，顯示:
Open in progress
幾個亂碼
Open completed。

因為HMC到貨較晚，我們透過顯示卡連線顯示器安裝好了系統。發現問題之後，到網上找了一些解決方法，如下：
第一種：多按幾下CTRL+C和Enter，結果還是老樣子。
第二種：使用smitty更改console為vty0（已經設定login enable），還是老樣子。
第三種：將預設profile刪除了，重新建立一個新的，還是老樣子。
第四種：新建一個新的分割槽，分配了所有資源（我們使用完全分割槽），然後重新啟動計算機，終於看到啟動資訊了，可惜啟動完成之後，不能顯示登入提示符。

後來終於搜到在IBM網站上的一個解決辦法，這個方法應該也適合於使用串列埠安裝的系統。

原文如下，希望對大家有用。在最後提示選擇控制檯的時候，我這裡是0，可能具體情況有所差異。



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 # 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.
