Logging in to a Service Processor
This procedure connects to and logs in to a server complex’s service
processor (GSP or MP) using telnet to access the customer LAN.
If connecting through the local or remote RS-232 port, skip Step 1
(instead establish a direct-cable or dial-up connection) and begin with
Step 2.
Step 1. Use the HP-UX telnet command on a remote system to connect to the
service processor for the server complex.
You can connect directly from the command line, for example:
telnet sdome-g
or run telnet first, and then issue the open command (for example,
open sdome-g) at the telnet> prompt.
All telnet commands and escape options are supported while you are
connected to the service processor. See the telnet(1) manpage for details.
(On non-HP-UX platforms such as various PC environments you can
instead use an alternate telnet program.)
Step 2. Login using your service processor user account name and password.
GSP login: Accountname
GSP password: Password
Step 3. Use the service processor menus and commands as needed and log out
when done.
To log out, select the Exit Connection menu item from the Main menu
(enter X at the GSP> prompt or MP> prompt).
You also can terminate a login session by issuing the telnet escape key
sequence ^] (type: Control-right bracket) and entering close at the
telnet> prompt.
NOTE If possible, you should log out of any consoles and menus before
terminating your telnet session.
