Accessing the Superdome Guardian Service Processor (GSP)

This section describes how to log in to the GSP utility hardware for an HP Superdome complex.

You can connect to a Superdome server's GSP by using the telnet HP-UX command on a remote system. Use telnet to open a connection with the GSP, then log in by entering the GSP account name and corresponding password. Each GSP login account provides a specific level of access to the GSP menus and commands.

The following example shows a sample GSP login session.
