Management Processor Console
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 the following:
o
Power
o Reset
o Transfer of Control (TOC) capabilities
o Console access
o Display and recording of system events
o Display of 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 by way of 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:
o
Enter management processor command mode,
o Enter console
o View event logs
o View console history
o Display virtual front panel
o Enter console session
o 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.
