Management Processor—The MP is a dedicated processor located on each MP/SCSI card that
simplifies and extends system management and enhances serviceability. The MP reduces the need for
the system administrator to be physically at the system to perform tasks such as diagnostics, system
management, or even hard resets. The HP 9000 rp7440 and rp8440 Server MP offers the following
features, among others:
• System management over the Internet or intranet
• System console redirection
• Console mirroring
• System configuration for automatic restart
• Viewing history log of system events and console activity
• Setting MP inactivity timeout thresholds
• Remote system control
• Remote power cycle (except for MP housekeeping power)
• Viewing system status
• Event notification to system console, e-mail, pager, or HP Response Centers (e-mail and pager
notification work in conjunction with HP Event Monitoring Service [EMS])
• Automatic hardware protection of critical environmental problems
• Automatic system restart
• Remote resetting of hardware partitions
• Forward progress indicator (through a virtual front panel)
• Out-of-band manageability and processor-dependent code (PDC) firmware update
• Configuration of manageability and console security
• MP failover (systems with both core I/O boards)
• Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
