Using the Guardian Service Processor (GSP)
Configuring the GSP
Configuring the GSP
The GSP has several features that must be configured in order for them the be available.
The following sections give a description of each feature and the command used to
configure that feature. See the online help for details about the options that are available.
The GSP configurations require you to enter commands in a dialog format. Pay close
attention to the prompts. You may be asked for confirmation before each parameter takes
effect.
Operator / Administrator summary
Administrators have more capabilities than Operators:
• Administrator-Only Commands:
AR (Automatic server Restart), DC (Default Configuration), IT (Inactivity Timeout), LC
(LAN Configuration), PG (PaGing), SO (Security Options)
• The GSP Command interface permission/access level:The permission/access level is set
by the first user that types CTRL-B to initiate it. If that user is an operator-user, then
the command interface runs in operator mode. Even if an administrator-user logs in
later or if the operator-user disconnects, the mode stays the same. The mode will only
change when the GSP command interface is left (to go to COnsole, for instance), and
CTRL-B is typed again to return.
If no users are configured then all connections to the GSP have administrator capability.
The first user configured will have adminstrator capability, when you configure additional
users, you have the choice to give the user administrator or operator capability.
If you forget the administrator user or password you must reset the users configuration via
a small reset button on Core I/O card at back of the system to regain access to the GSP.
After the GSP finishes its reset, you will see a prompt and have the opportunity to reset
the user configuration. If you don’t answer the prompt before it times out, the user
configuration will be retained.
Console and remote port configuration (CA)
The following text shows the parameters that should be configured for the Local and
remote serial ports. These parameters assume that the remote console port will be used for
remote support and that it will be connected to the support modem.
