v
Change Privileged-Access Password
Set or change the privileged-access password. It provides the user with the capability to access all
service processor functions. This password is usually used by the system administrator or root user.
v
Change General-Access Password
Set or change the general-access password. It provides limited access to service processor menus, and
is usually available to all users who are allowed to power on the system, especially remotely.
Note: The general-access password can only be set or changed after the privileged-access password
is set.
v Enable/Disable Console Mirroring
Console mirroring is supported on serial port 1 (S1) and serial port 2 (S2). When console mirroring is
enabled, the service processor sends information to all serial ports. The serial port from which console
mirroring is enabled is referred to as the active port . The mirror port is determined when keyboard input
is detected from one of the other ports. From this point on, the service processor sends information only
to the active port and the mirror port. This capability can be enabled by local or remote users, providing
local users with the capability to monitor remote sessions. Console mirroring can be enabled for the
current session only. For more information, see “Console Mirroring” on page 223.
v
Start Talk Mode
In a console-mirroring session, it is useful for those who are monitoring the session to be able to
communicate with each other. Selecting Start Talk Mode activates the keyboards and displays for such
communications while console mirroring is established. This is a full duplex link, so message
interference is possible. Alternating messages between users works best.
