Using Service Processor Menus
The service processor (GSP or MP) has a set of menus that give you
access to various commands, consoles, log files, and other features.
See Navigating through Service Processor Menus on page 97 for details
on using these menus.
The following menus are available from the service processor Main menu
(which is the menu you first access when logging in):
• Console Menu—Provides access to consoles for the server’s
nPartitions.
• Virtual Front Panel Menu—Provides a Virtual Front Panel for
each nPartition (or for the entire server complex).
• Command Menu—Includes service, status, system access, and
manufacturing commands.
• Console Log Viewer Menu—Allows access to the server’s console
logs.
• Chassis Log Viewer Menu—Allows access to the server’s chassis
code logs.
• Help Menu—Provides online help on a variety of service processor
topics and on all service processor Command menu commands.
These menus provide a central point for managing an nPartition server
complex outside of HP-UX.
The service processor menus provide many tools and details not
available elsewhere. More administration features also are available
from the nPartition BCH interfaces, or from HP-UX commands and
utilities running on one of the server complex’s nPartitions.
NOTE Some specific service processor menu options and features differ slightly
on different hardware platforms and firmware revisions. However, most
features are identical and behave as described here.
