3.8.1 Using the MP Card Interface

The MP cards allow the Compute Nodes to be remotely powered up. Using this technology,

the initial installation and configuration of the Compute Nodes is eased.

In order to access the MP Card Interface (using HPUX 11i V2.0):

Enter Ctrl-B from the system console (serial or LAN) to activate the main

MP menu.

Enter the 'cm' command to access the command menu.

{

Enter the 'pc' command (power control) to toggle

system power state. Note that no signal is sent to the

OS to allow for a graceful shutdown, so the system

should be halted prior to using this command to turn off

the system.

{

Enter the 'lc' command (LAN configuration) to set IP

address, subnet mask, gateway address, and web

console port number for the cluster LAN port.

{

Enter the 'xd -r' command (reset and diagnostics)

command to reset the MP card.

{

Enter Ctrl-B from the system console (serial or LAN)

to return to the main MP menu.

Enter the 'x' command to completely disconnect from the LAN port.
