Set the Input and Output Device

The input-device and output-device variables control the firmware's selection of input and output devices after a power-on reset. These are the default values:

  • input-device virtual-console

  • output-device virtual-console

The values of must be device specifiers.

When the virtual machine is reset, the named device becomes the initial firmware console input or output device. (If you want to temporarily change the input or output device, use the input or output commands.

  1. Specify the console input device.
    {0} ok setenv input-device device-specifier
  2. Specify the console output device.
    {0} ok setenv output-device device-specifier
