Management Processor

The management processor (MP) interface provides access to the baseboard management controller system

information and provides some configuration capabilities. By viewing the system logs by way of the MP you

can identify and solve problems affecting your server. To access your MP interface and system logs, perform

the following steps:

NOTE The MP interface must be accessed from a terminal console that is attached to the MP via the

MP LAN or MP remote serial connector. The MP is always available for troubleshooting,

regardless of the state of your system, as long as there is AC power applied to your computer.

A description of the MP is provided in the Utilities chapter of this guide and in the HP Integrity

and HP 9000 Integrated Lights Out Operations Guide. Check the HP website for the latest

revision.

Step 1. If necessary, press

CTRL+B to access the MP interface.

Step 2. Log in with proper user name and password.

Step 3. Enter cl to display the console logs. This log displays console history from oldest to newest.

Step 4. Enter sl to display the system logs. The system logs consist of:

•System event
