Management Processor nPartition Commands
| The Management Processor (also known as the Service Processor or Guardian Service Processor (GSP) in some cases) is a low level means of accessing the system. The Management Processor has its own unique set of commands, some of which we'll cover later. You gain access to the Service Process using telnet. because it has two network connections on it, one called a Customer LAN and the other called a Private LAN. You would typically use the Customer LAN to access the Management Processor. You could also access the Management Processor through the Local Console connection on the Core I/O card if you wish to plug in a terminal directly to the console port. The Management Processor has the commands shown in Table 17-2: Table 17-2. Management Processor Menus
Let's now run some examples of connecting to the Management Processor and running some commands. The following listing shows connecting to the Management Processor and the top-level menu presented after login. The connection to the Management Processor in this example is via a direct connection from the terminal to the Local Console onaCoreI/O board on an rp8400. The username and password for MP are both Admin in the following example: MP login: Admin MP password: Welcome to the S Class 16K-A Management Processor (c) Copyright 1995-2001 Hewlett-Packard Co., All Rights Reserved.

We'll select the first of the nPartitions with andlogintothenPartition and see its hostname. After we logout of the nPartition we use ^b (control b) to get back to the Management Processor.

I configured the Customer LAN with updated IP information when the system was first installed with the LC command shown as one of the CM menu selections. You may have to use the RS command to reset an nPartition at this level if the nPartition becomes hung. The last two menu selections, CL and SL show logs for the consoles of the nPartitions and chassis logs, respectively. Youhavetobecarefulinthe CM area because you can issue a reset or TOC to an nPartition. You'll be using the Management Processor in your nPartition work often since it gives you access to a lot of important information and commands related to nPartitions.  |
