SSP operation
SSP log-on
Message window
The message window displays status from the
ccmd
daemon running on
the SSP approximately 60 seconds after power on. The hard error logger
also displays status in this window. This is a display window only and
does not accept input.
Console window (sppconsole - complex console)
The complex console window is the main console window for the V-Class
server complex. It displays all POST (Power-On Self -Test) status for
node 0. The user can boot and configure the server from this window
using the boot menu (
Command:
prompt). The user can also enter a
special mode called “forth mode” (OBP) to perform special configuration
commands.
A second sppconsole window is spawned when two nodes exist.
Console window (sppconsole - Node X console)
sppconsole
windows for each node in the complex are spawned using
the “consolebar” which is available from the desktop Workspace menu.
All POST (Power-On Self -Test) status for node X is displayed here. The
user can boot and configure the server from this window using the boot
menu. The user can also enter the special forth mode to perform special
configuration commands.
Console bar
The console bar appears on the SSP workspace for systems that have
more than two nodes (or complexes in the case of SCA systems). To see
the complex console, click on the appropriate button in the console bar.
ksh shell windows
The
ksh
windows are local shell windows on the SSP. The user can enter
commands into these windows to invoke scripts or functions on the SSP.
Some commands like the
do_reset
command are scripts that begin
execution on the SSP and then control the V-Class server.
