• Whether HP-UX is installed, booted, and properly configured on the
partition.
If HP-UX is not installed on a partition, you should access the
partition’s console (through the GSP) in order to install and configure
HP-UX.
See Chapter 5 for details on booting an HP-UX install source.
You should directly log in to HP-UX running on a partition when you do
not need to use GSP features and do not want to record a log of your
activity.
Before HP-UX has booted, the GSP consoles are the primary method of
interacting with a partition.
After a partition has booted HP-UX, you should be able to connect to and
log in to the partition directly, using telnet or rlogin.
If the HP-UX kernel booted on the partition does not have networking
fully configured, you may need to log in using a GSP console connection
to set up the partition’s networking configuration (using
/sbin/set_parms).
