The following output shows the chassis codes (with keywords) for an
HP-UX timeout and automatic reset.
Monitoring HP-UX Activity and Chassis Logs
You can monitor whether HP-UX is active on an nPartition through the
partition’s Virtual Front Panel and through the Chassis Logs viewer.
• You can track a partition’s HP-UX activity through its Virtual Front
Panel (VFP) display, which is available through the service processor.
When HP-UX has booted on a partition, the partition’s VFP blinks an
HP-UX heartbeat indicator based on the HEARTBEAT chassis code.
• You also can track HP-UX activity though the service processor’s
Chassis Logs viewer, which enables you to view live (real-time)
chassis codes as well as previously recorded error and activity chassis
codes.
For example, to monitor a partition’s chassis codes in real time: from
the service processor Main menu select SL for the Chassis Logs
viewer, select the live chassis logs option, then type P and select which
nPartition’s chassis codes you want to monitor (to exit to the Main
menu type ^b).
Service Processor
(GSP or MP)
This procedure (Command menu, AR command) enables or disables
automatic system restart for an nPartition by using the service processor
Command menu.
Step 1. Log in to the server complex’s service processor (GSP or MP) and enter
CM to access the Command menu.
Step 2. Issue the service processor Command menu’s AR command to enable or
disable automatic system restart for an nPartition.
