Monitoring HP-UX Activity and Chassis Logs

You can monitor whether HP-UX is active on an nPartition through the

nPartition’s Virtual Front Panel and through the Chassis Logs viewer.

• You can track an nPartition’s HP-UX activity through its Virtual

Front Panel (VFP) display, which is available through the service

processor. When HP-UX has booted on an nPartition, the nPartition’s

VFP blinks an HP-UX heartbeat indicator based on the

HEARTBEAT chassis code.

• You also can track HP-UX activity though the service processor’s

Chassis Logs viewer, which enables you to view live (real-time)

chassis codes as well as previously recorded error and activity

chassis codes.

For example, to monitor an nPartition’s chassis codes in real time:

from the service processor Main menu select SL for the Chassis Logs

viewer, select the live chassis logs option, then type P and select

which nPartition’s chassis codes you want to monitor (to exit to the

Main menu type ^b).
