Using GSP Commands

This section summarizes the commonly used GSP commands, and provides details about the various categories of GSP commands. See Chapter 2 “Superdome Console and Service Interface” for details on using GSP commands to manage and configure Partitions.

To return to the GSP main menu from the command menu, enter the MA command.

All users connected to a Superdome server's GSP command menu share access to the menu.

Only one command can be issued at a time. For each command issued, the command and its output are displayed to all users currently accessing the GSP command menu.

Some commands are restricted and are available to GSP users who have Admin or Operator privileges only. You can issue any command that is valid at your access level by entering the command at the GSP command menu prompt (GSP:CM>).

When you list commands using the HE command, the commands are shown in the four following categories:

Service commands—Support boot, reset, TOC, and other common service activities.
Status commands—Give command help and system status information.
System and access configuration commands—Provide ways to configure system security and console and diagnostic settings.
Manufacturing commands—Allow trained HP service personnel to perform various tasks.

The following sections give more details about the available commands.
