HP Integrity and HP 9000 iLO MP Operations Guide, Fifth Edition

VFP (Virtual Front Panel) Displays the virtual front panel
VFP presents a summary of the system by using direct console addressing. If the terminal is not
recognized by the iLO MP, VFP mode is rejected. Each individual user gets this summary in
order to avoid issues related to terminal type and screen display mode.
CM (Command Mode) Enter command mode
CM switches the console terminal from the MP Main Menu to mirrored command interface mode.
If a command is in progress, a message is displayed warning the new user of system status.
CL (Console Log) View the history of the console output
CL displays up to 60 KB of console data (about 60 pages of display in text mode) sent from the
system to the console path and stored for later analysis.
Console data is stored in a buffer in nonvolatile memory. By default, data is displayed from the
beginning of the buffer to end of the buffer. You can control the starting point from which the
data displays and navigate through the data.
What is displayed is an image of the console history at the time the CL command is entered.
Console output continues to be logged while this buffer is read, and nothing is lost.
SL (Show Logs) Display contents of the system status logs
SL displays the contents of the event logs that have been stored in nonvolatile memory.
System event log (SEL) Events (filtered by alert level) and errors.
Forward progress log All events.
Current boot log All events between “start of boot” and “boot complete”.
Previous boot log The events from the previous boot.
Reading the system event log is the only way to turn off the attention indicator of the system
LED (flashing amber light).
Navigate within the logs as follows:
+ Displays the next block (forward in time).
- Displays the previous block (backward in time).
Enter (<CR>) Continues to the next or previous block.
