4 Using Management Interfaces and Tools
This chapter presents the system management interfaces and tools available on Hewlett-Packard's
cell-based servers. Also covered here are the nPartition boot environments, management access
procedures, and detailed command references.
Management differences on HP 9000 systems and HP Integrity systems are addressed in this
chapter. For a discussion of the supported cell-based server models, see Chapter 2 (page 49).
SMS (Support Management Station) for HP Superdome Servers
The Support Management Station (SMS) is a workstation or PC that is connected to an HP
Superdome server through the service processor private LAN. The SMS may either be an HP-UX
workstation or an HP ProLiant system running Microsoft® Windows® 2000 with Service Pack
3 or later.
The SMS primarily is used by HP-certified service and support personnel for system scan,
upgrade, and hardware verification purposes.
The Windows SMS is an HP ProLiant system running the Windows operating system that has
an enhanced system support toolset, including Partition Manager and the HP nPartition
commands (such as parcreate and parstatus, among others).
Use of the nPartition commands from a Windows SMS requires specifying the remote management
command-line options (either the -u... -h... set of options or the -g... -h... options).
For details see “Specifying Remote Management Options to Commands” (page 247).
You can use the Windows versions of the nPartition commands to remotely manage servers
based on the HP sx1000 chipset or HP sx2000 chipset. Remote management using IPMI over
LAN is supported for all servers based on the HP sx1000 chipset or HP sx2000 chipset. Remote
nPartition management using WBEM is supported for nPartitions running an operating system
with the HP nPartition Provider.
Details on the Windows SMS release of nPartition commands are given in “Commands for
Configuring nPartitions” (page 19).
For more details about the SMS for Superdome servers, refer to the Service Guide for your model
of Superdome server.
Overview of nPartition Service Processor (MP or GSP) Interfaces
The service processor (MP or GSP) utility hardware is an independent support system for
cell-based servers. It provides a way for you to connect to a server complex and perform
administration or monitoring tasks for the server hardware and its nPartitions.
The main features of the service processor include:
• Command Menu
• nPartition Consoles
• Console Logs
• Chassis Code Viewer (on HP 9000 servers with HP PA-8700 processors) or Event Log Viewer
(on servers based on the HP sx1000 chipset or HP sx2000 chipset)
• Virtual Front Panels (live displays of nPartition and cell states)
These features are described in more detail in “Service Processor (MP or GSP) Features” (page 68).
The service processor is available when its cabinet has standby power, even if the main (48-volt)
cabinet power switch is turned off.
Access to the service processor is restricted by user accounts. Each user account is password
protected and provides a specific level of access to the server complex and service processor
commands.
