Introduction
This document is intended to provide information on the supported operating environment for the
management processor (MP) and to provide installation instructions for upgrading the MP processor card
firmware to the latest release:
•MP features
• Supported browsers
• Additional commands available for the MP processor card firmware
Management Processor Card Firmware Features
The MP processor card features may be mirrored or not mirrored. Any combination of mirroring and private
commands may be executed at one time. Only a mirroring console is affected by the results of actions taken by
other members of the same mirroring set. The following console modes are available:
• System console redirection
• Console mirroring
System Console Redirection
The system console redirection mode allows the system’s console to be redirected to any of several remote
console clients connected to the MP without the system being aware of where the console I/O is being directed.
The console clients may interact with the system as if they were all sitting in front of the local console. Only
one of the consoles can write at a time. This functionality is available for the system’s firmware and operating
system.
Graphic redirection is not
intrinsically part of MP functionality, but the MP architecture supports, to some
extent, the transport of raw data and in particular graphic redirection with the assistance of some additional
software (SharedX for HP-UX, display redirection, and so on).
Console Mirroring
Console mirroring provides the ability to mirror the system console display across several console clients and
share their keyboards while several console users simultaneously access the system’s console. The following
consoles may be mirrored:
• Local serial console
• Remote console
•LAN console
