HP Advanced Services zl Module with Microsoft® Windows Server® 2008 R2 Installation and Getting Started Guide

Management

Special Administration Console (SAC)

The following HP zl switch command gives you pass through access to the

command line for the Windows Server 2008 R2 that is running on the module:

hostzlswitch(config)# services <slot ID> tech

Note that the command must be entered from the switch’s Global Configura-

tion level.

If you enter this command while the module is booting, you can monitor the

bootup process. If the module was not shut down before the reboot, you will

have the option to boot it in Safe Mode.

After the module is booted (whether or not in Safe Mode), you are placed in

the Special Administration Console (SAC). However, if the boot fails, you will

see the HP Recovery Menu instead.

SAC

The SAC provides several commands to help you to recover the module and

the server running on it if RDP and other means of access have failed. You can

refer to Microsoft documentation for more information on the SAC.

To access the SAC, enter this command from the global configuration mode

context of the HP zl switch CLI:

For example:

hostzlswitch(config)# services c tech

If the module is booting, the management session might hang. Wait. As the

module reboots, messages will begin to be displayed. If the module is running,

press

[Enter] until you see the SAC prompt.

Enter help or ? to see a list of available commands.

Syntax: services <slot ID> tech

Replace <slot ID> with the ID for the slot in which the module

is installed.
