4.5 Manageability
Several functions and tools help you to efficiently and effectively manage your system.
4.5.1 Service processor
The service processor is a controller running its own operating system. It is a component of
the service interface card.
The service processor operating system has specific programs and device drivers for the
service processor hardware. The host interface is a processor support interface connected to
the POWER6 processor. The service processor is always working, regardless of the main
system unit’s state. The system unit can be in the following states:
Standby, power off
Operating, ready to start partitions
Operating, with running logical partitions
The service processor is used to monitor and manage the system hardware resources and
devices. The service processor checks the system for errors, ensuring the connection to the
HMC for manageability purposes and accepting ASMI Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) network
