Service Processor (GSP or MP)
Each of HP’s nPartition servers include a service processor that provides server-wide
status, maintenance, and console interfaces.
NOTE The service processor in HP servers is sometimes called the Management Processor (MP)
and sometimes the Guardian Service Processor (GSP).
Regardless of the name, the service processor in these servers provides approximately
the same features and performs essentially the same role.
Throughout this document the term “service processor” refers to both the MP and GSP
service processors.
See “Service Processor (GSP or MP)” on page 67 in Chapter 5.
