This chapter describes the main service and console
interfaces for configuring, monitoring, and for booting HP Superdome
servers.
The Guardian Service Processor (GSP) utility hardware provides
a method of connecting to the Superdome complex to perform service
or monitoring tasks.
The GSP provides console connections for each partition in
a Superdome complex, gives you access to system logs, access to
a "Virtual Front Panel" for each partition, and
access to a command menu for performing various complex-wide tasks.
The GSP also provides a point for viewing live and logged chassis
codes.
Note that the Service Management Station (discussed in Chapter
1) is not covered in this Chapter. See Chapter 1 “Overview of the Superdome System Environment” for details.
For details on using the GSP interface for managing Partitions,
see Chapter 4 “Configuring and Managing Superdome Partitions”. Also see Chapter 5 “Booting and Resetting Superdome Partitions” for more information on booting
and rebooting using the GSP and console features that are introduced
here.
