Service Processor (GSP or MP) - User Guide, Second Edition

Chassis Logs and Event Logs On both HP 9000 systems and HP Integrity systems, you
can view real-time (live) system events and can view prior
events that have been stored in a log history. Use the SL
(“show logs”) option from the service processor Main Menu
to view events/chassis codes.
• On nPartition-capable HP 9000 servers with
HP PA-8700 processors, SL provides the Chassis Log
Viewer. The chassis log viewer includes options for
viewing activity (level 1 and greater) logs, error (level
2 and greater) logs, and live logs (which optionally
may be filtered by cell, nPartition, or alert level).
• On nPartition-capable servers based on the HP sx1000
chipset, SL provides the Event Log Viewer. The event
log viewer includes options for viewing: forward
progress (level 1 and greater) logs, system event (level
2 and greater) logs, and live logs (which optionally
may be filtered by cell, nPartition, or alert level).
See “Viewing Chassis Codes or Event Logs” (page 24) for
details.
Virtual Front Panel (VFP) for an
nPartition
The Virtual Front Panel (VFP) for each nPartition displays
real-time boot activity and details about all cells assigned
to the nPartition. The VFP display automatically updates
as cell and nPartition status changes. A system-wide VFP
also is provided.
Enter VFP at the Main menu to access the View Front Panel
menu. To exit a Virtual Front Panel, enter ^b (Control-b).
See “Virtual Front Panel (VFP) nPartition Views” (page 25)
for details.
Service Processor Accounts and Access Levels
To access the service processor interface for a server complex, you must have a user account that
enables you to login to the service processor.
Each server complex has its own set of service processor user accounts, which are defined for
the server complex, and may differ from accounts on other complexes.
Service processor user accounts have a specific login name, password, and access level.
The three user account access levels are:
Administrator Account Provides access to all commands and to all nPartition
consoles and Virtual Front Panels.
Can manage user accounts (using the Command menu SO
command) and can reconfigure various service processor
settings.
Operator Account Provides access to a subset of commands and to all
nPartition consoles and Virtual Front Panels.
Single Partition User Account Provides access to a restricted subset of commands and
provides access to the nPartition console for a single
nPartition. However, it allows the user to view the Virtual
Front Panel for any nPartition.
Can only execute commands that affect the assigned
nPartition.
