Dual-Redundant SPs

The server has a pair of dual-redundant SPs (SP0 and SP1) located in the front of the
server. One SP functions as the Active SP to manage the server, while the other acts
as a Standby SP that assumes the Active SP role in the event of a failure.
When you power on the system, the boot process begins under the control of the
Oracle ILOM system console. The system console displays status and error messages
generated by firmware-based tests that run during the system startup.
Note – To see these status and error messages, connect a terminal or terminal
emulator to the SER MGT ports on the two SPs prior to applying power to the server.
