Using Console and Service Processor Interfaces
nPartition Console Access versus Direct HP-UX Log-In

You should log in to HP-UX running on an nPartition when you do not
need to use service processor features and do not want to record a log of
your activity.
Before HP-UX has booted, the service processor nPartition consoles are
the primary method of interacting with an nPartition.
After an nPartition has booted HP-UX, you should be able to connect to
and log in to the nPartition by using telnet or rlogin to remotely log in.
If the HP-UX kernel booted on the nPartition does not have networking
fully configured, you may need to log in using a service processor
nPartition console connection to set up the nPartition’s networking
configuration (using /sbin/set_parms).
To view the /dev/console messages for HP-UX running on an nPartition,
you can access the nPartition’s console, view its console log, or use the
xconsole command or xterm -C command and option. See the xconsole
(1) or xterm (1) manpages for details.
