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. The management
processor also provides a virtual front panel that can be used to monitor system status and see the state of front panel LEDs.
All MP functions are available via the LAN, local RS-232 and remote RS-232 ports.
The management processor is available whenever the system is connected to a power source, even if the server main power
switch is in the off position.
Access to the management processor can be restricted by user accounts. User accounts are password protected and provide a
specific level of access to the server and management processor commands.
Multiple users can interact with the management processor. From the MP Main Menu users can select any of the following
options: enter management processor command mode, enter console, view event logs, view console history, display virtual
front panel, enter console session, or connect to another management processor. Multiple users can select different options
from the MP Main Menu at the same time. However, management processor command mode and console mode are mirrored,
The MP allows only one user at a time to have write access to the shared console.
Accessing the Management Processor
You can connect to the management processor using the following methods:
•
The
local RS-232C port
using a local terminal
•
The
remote RS-232C port
using external modem (dial-up) access, if remote modem access is configured
•
The
management processor LAN port
using Web Console or telnet if login access through the management processor
LAN is enabled
