Interacting with the Management Processor
To interact with the MP command line interface, perform the following steps:
NOTE On initial system installation, the MP has two default user accounts:
• All Rights (Administrator) level user; login = Admin, password = Admin (both are case
sensitive).
• Console Rights (Operator) level user; login = Oper, password = Oper (both are case
sensitive).
For security reasons, HP recommends that you use the UC command during the initial logon
session to modify default passwords (enter CM at the MP> prompt, and enter UC at the MP:CM>
prompt).
IMPORTANT Deleting default users such as Admin prevents you from using the HP Systems Insight
Manager group actions feature.
Step 1. Log in using your MP user account name and password.
NOTE If you are logged in, the MP Main Menu displays. To follow this procedure, make sure
you are at the MP Main Menu. Use Ctrl-B to return to the MP Main Menu.
Step 2. Use the MP menus and commands as needed. Main Menu commands are shown in “MP Main
Menu”. You can access commands not displayed in the MP Main Menu in command mode by first
using the CM command at the MP prompt. You can display a list of available commands using the MP
help function. Invoke the help function from either the MP Main Menu or the Command Menu
prompts by entering HE followed by LI. You can return to the MP Main Menu by pressing
Ctrl-B.
Step 3. Log out using the X command (enter X at the MP> prompt) after returning to the MP Main Menu.

of access to the MP.
