An HP OpenVMS Cluster is a highly integrated organization of AlphaServer and HP Integrity server
systems, applications, operating systems, and storage devices. These systems can be connected to each
other and storage components in a variety of ways. HP OpenVMS Cluster software is an integral part of
the OpenVMS operating system, providing the basis for many of the key capabilities utilized by
OpenVMS enterprise solutions. A full "shared everything" cluster design that has been in existence for
more than 20 years, OpenVMS Cluster software allows for the maximum in expandability, scalability,
and availability for mission-critical applications. Qualified for up to 96 computer nodes and more than
3,000 processors, OpenVMS clusters afford virtually 100 percent uptime and expand the
multiprocessing capabilities of the computing environment.

The service processor (MP) utility hardware is an independent support system for nPartition 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 the
Command menu, nPartition consoles, console logs, chassis code viewers, and partition Virtual Front
Panels (live displays of nPartition and cell states).
Access to the MP is restricted by user accounts. Each user account is password protected and provides a
specific level of access to the Superdome complex and service processor commands. Multiple users can
independently interact with the service processor because each service processor login session is private.
Up to 16 users can simultaneously log in to the service processor through its network (customer LAN)
interface and they can independently manage nPartitions or view the server complex hardware states.
Two additional service processor login sessions can be supported by the local and remote serial ports.
These allow for serial port terminal access(through the local RS-232 port) and external modem access
(through the
remote RS-232 port).
In general, the service processor (MP) on Superdome servers is similar to the service processor on other
HP servers, while providing enhanced features necessary for managing a multiple-nPartition server. For
example, the service processor manages the complex profile, which defines nPartition configurations as
well as complex-wide settings for the server. The service processor also controls power, reset, and TOC
capabilities, displays and records system events (chassis codes), and can display detailed information
about the various internal subsystems.
