Accessing Service Processor Interfaces
This section describes how to login to the service processor (GSP or MP)
for an nPartition server complex.
You can connect to a server complex’s service processor using the
following methods:
• Connecting through the customer LAN port by using telnet, if
login access through the customer LAN is enabled for the service
processor.
On HP Superdome servers, the customer LAN hardware is labeled
“Customer LAN”. On HP rp8400 servers it is “GSP LAN”. On HP
rp7410 servers it is the only LAN port on the core I/O.
Use telnet to open a connection with the service processor, then
login by entering the account name and corresponding password.
• Connecting through the local RS-232 port using a direct serial
cable connection.
On HP Superdome server hardware, the local RS-232 port is labeled
“Local RS-232”. On HP rp8400 servers it is the “Local Console” port.
On HP rp7410 servers it is the 9-pin D-shaped connector (DB9)
labeled “Console”.
• Connecting through the remote RS-232 port using external model
(dial-up) access, if remote modem access is configured.
On HP Superdome server hardware, the remote RS-232 port is
labeled “Remote RS-232”. On HP rp8400 servers it is the “Remote
Console” port. On HP rp7410 servers it is the DB9 connector labeled
“Remote”.
