If using an operator or administrator account, select the partition whose
console you wish to access.
The console displays the last 10 lines of console output when you connect
to it. This provides you a view of the most recent console activity.
Step 4. Gain interactive access to the partition console.
Press Enter to access the partition console’s currently available prompt, if
any. You will have either interactive or non-interactive access, as
described in the sections Interactive Console Access and Non-Interactive
Console Access in this step.
To exit the partition console and return to the service processor Main
menu, type ^b (Control-b) at any time.
Interactive Console Access
Typically the BCH interface, ISL interface, or the HP-UX login or
command prompt is available from the partition console.
• When a partition is at the BCH interface you can access BCH
commands from the partition’s console and can reboot BCH if needed.
