v
Service Processor POST - Conducts Power-On Self-Tests on its various work and
code areas.
v
Service Processor Unattended Start Mode Checks - To assist fault recovery. If
unattended start mode is set, the service processor automatically reboots the server.
The service processor does not wait for user input or power-on command, but moves
through the phase and into the Bring-up Phase. Access SMS menus or &sp menus
to reset the unattended start mode.
Standby Phase
The standby phase can be reached in either of two ways:
v
With the server off and power connected (the normal path), recognized by
OK
in the
LCD display. OR
v
With the server on after an operating system fault, recognized by
STBY
or an 8-digit
code in the LCD display.
In the Standby phase, the service processor takes care of some automatic duties and is
available for menu operation. The service processor remains in the standby phase until
a power-on request is detected.
The Standby phase components are as follows:
v
Modem Configuration
The service processor configures the modem (if installed) so that incoming calls can
be received or outgoing calls can be placed.
v
Dial In
Monitor incoming phone line to answer calls, prompt for a password, verify the
password, and remotely display the standby menu. The remote session can be
mirrored on the local ASCII console if the server is so equipped and the user enables
this function.
v
Menus
The service processor menus are password-protected. Before you can access them,
you need either the General User (General Access Password or GAP) or Privileged
User (Privileged Access Password or PAP).
Bring-Up Phase
This phase is entered upon power-on, and exited upon loading of the operating system.
The Bring-Up phase components are:
v
Retry Request Check
The service processor checks to see if the previous boot attempt failed. If two
consecutive failures are detected, the service processor displays an error code and
places an outgoing call to notify an external party if the user has enabled this option.
v
Dial Out
The service processor can dial a preprogrammed telephone number in the event of
an IPL failure. The service processor issues an error report with the last reported IPL
status indicated and any other available error information.
