3. Use the service processor menus and commands as needed and log out when done.

To log out, select the Exit Connection menu item from the Main menu (enter X at the GSP>

prompt or MP> prompt).

You also can terminate a login session by issuing the telnet escape key sequence ^] (type:

Control-right bracket) and entering close at the telnet> prompt.

NOTE: If possible, you should log out of any consoles and menus before terminating your

telnet session.

If accessing an OS on an nPartition, log out of the OS before exiting the console and service

processor sessions. (Otherwise an open OS login session will remain available to any other

service processor users.)

Using Service Processor Menus

The service processor (MP or GSP) has a set of menus that give you access to various commands,

consoles, log files, and other features.

See “Navigating through Service Processor Menus” (page 76) for details on using these menus.

The following menus are available from the service processor Main menu (which is the menu

you first access when logging in):

• Console Menu—Provides access to nPartition consoles for the server.

• Virtual Front Panel Menu—Provides a Virtual Front Panel for each nPartition (or for the

entire server complex).

• Command Menu—Includes service, status, system access, and other commands.

• Console Log Viewer Menu—Allows access to the console logs for nPartitions.

• Chassis Log Viewer Menu or Event Log Viewer Menu—Allows access to the server chassis

code logs (on HP 9000 servers with HP PA-8700 processors) or event logs (on servers based

on the HP sx1000 chipset or HP sx2000 chipset). Chassis logs and event logs are functionally

equivalent: they record system activities. However, event logs are more descriptive.

• Help Menu—Provides online help on a variety of service processor topics and on all service

processor Command menu commands.

These menus provide a central point for managing a server complex outside of an operating

system.

The service processor menus provide many tools and details not available elsewhere. More

administration features also are available from the nPartition system boot environments (BCH

or EFI), the nPartition tools, and various operating system commands.

Navigating through Service Processor Menus

The following list includes tips for navigating through service processor menus and using various

menu features:

• Control-b

Exit current console, console log, chassis log, or Virtual Front Panel.

When accessing the Command menu, an nPartition console, any log files, or any Virtual

Front Panel (VFP), you can exit and return to the Main menu by typing ^b (Control-b).

• Q (or lower-case q)

Exit or cancel current menu prompt.

Enter Q (or lower-case q) as response to any menu prompt to exit the prompt and return to

the previous sub-menu.
