Utilities Management Processor Management Processor The management processor is an independent support system for the server. It provides a way for you to connect to a server and perform administration or monitoring tasks for the server hardware. The management processor controls power, reset, Transfer of Control (TOC) capabilities, provides console access, displays and records system events, and can display detailed information about the various internal subsystems.
Utilities Management Processor Command Interface Management Processor Command Interface Use the management processor menus and commands as needed. The login screen, which includes the Main Menu, is shown below. Main Menu commands (CO, VFP, CM, CL, CSP, SE, SL, HE, and X) can be entered after the MP prompt.
TRANSMIT CONFIGURATION STRINGS: Disable this setting whenever the modem being used is not compatible with the supported modem (MT5634ZBA). IMPORTANT Do not mix HP and vt100 terminal types at the same time. Set up the remote serial port parameters as follows: •...
Example 4-19 HP-UX Applications that care about the terminal type (install, SAM, vi, and so on) running on HP-UX use three methods to determine the terminal type: 1. The application takes the terminal information from the OS. This value is set in the CA command and takes effect for all MP ports.
2. In the DC command choose “Reset Security Configuration”. 3. Forgotten passwords can be reset by pressing the reset button on the back panel of your HP Server. See Figure 2-7 on page 20. After the MP reboots, the local console terminal displays a message for five seconds.
Utilities Management Processor Command Interface Front Panel Process FP: Turn off front panel fault or attention LEDs This command allows the user to control the state of front panel fault and attention LEDs, individually or together. MP Firmware Update FW: Activates MP firmware upgrade mode This command is available from either the LAN or local serial port.
Utilities Management Processor Command Interface • MP IP Address • MP Host Name • Subnet Mask • Gateway Address • Web Console port number • Link State The MP Host Name set in this command is displayed at the MP command interface prompt. Typically the DNS name for the LAN IP is entered.
The MP regularly checks the activity of the session, closes the connection with the system, and, if the timeout period has elapsed, returns the port to mirroring. The timeout period is set with the IT command. On HP-UX, the SE command works on the local and remote ports.
Management Processor Command Interface In HP-UX, use the System Administration Manager (SAM) to add modem device files for the session UARTS. The modem type, CCITT or Bell must agree with the remote port settings for the remote session port and always be Bell mode for the local session port.

Otherwise, damage to system components may result due to improper cooling airflow. However, you can safely remove a cover while the HP Server is running to remove and replace PCI hot-plug boards. For any other service activity requiring access to the system board or power distribution board, power-down the HP Server and observe all safety precautions.

Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Tips Step 3. At this point you will have a good idea about which area of the system requires further analysis. For example, if the symptom was “system will not power-up” then the initial troubleshooting procedure may have indicated a problem with the DC power supply not coming up after the power switch was turned on.
This section contains example HP Server problems and their possible solutions. The system will not power-up. Step 1. Review the installation procedures for the server. See the hp Integrity rx4640 Installation Guide. Step 2. Check all power connection cables. Step 3. Verify that 200-240 VAC power is available at the AC power receptacle. Check the receptacle output with another device.
Troubleshooting Possible Problems Step 9. Verify that the DIMMs are fully seated. When the DIMM is fully seated in the mating connector, the retaining latches are closed (they should be flush with the front of the DIMM). If the latches are not closed, reseat the DIMM fully by engaging the retaining latches and closing them fully.
Troubleshooting Possible Problems Step 5. Make sure that all boards are installed properly and the processors are installed in the correct slot. They must be seated firmly in their slots and any cables must be connected firmly. Step 6. If the server stopped working after you installed a new board, remove the board and turn on the server.
