Booting And Verifying The System; Connecting To The Management Processor - HP Integrity Superdome SX1000 User Manual

Booting and Verifying the System

After the system has been installed, it should be verified that the proper hardware is installed and booted.
This section describes how to power on the cabinet; and boot and test each partition. A console window must
be open for each partition. Two additional windows should also be open: one window for initiating reset on
partitions and the other for monitoring system partition status. In each window the MP is initiated.
NOTE The HKP should be ON and the 48-volt switch on the front panel should be OFF at this time.
Refer to section "Turning On Housekeeping Power" on page 60 for turning on the HKP.

Connecting to the Management Processor

Before powering on the cabinet, several windows must be open and connected to the MP. Then the 48 volts is
switched on and each partition is booted to the EFI prompt.
Step 1. On the SMS, open the required number of command-prompt windows:
• One "console" window for each partition (MP CO option)
• One for initializing RS command from the MP
• One for monitoring partition status (MP VFP option)
In each window connect to the MP by entering:
telnet <MP hostname>
or
telnet <IP address>
Step 2. Enter the appropriate login and password at the MP prompt.
