1. From the NTPCONF submenu, type 1 for Display NTP Configuration, and then press ENTER. 2. Press ENTER to return to the NTPCONF submenu. NOTE: The output displays the content of the NTP configuration ntp.conf file that shows the running parameters for the active NTP instance on the SP. Adding an External NTP Server by Using SPMAINT To add an external NTP server to the Service Processor NTP configuration settings: 1. From the NTPCONF submenu, type 2 for Add external NTP server, and then press ENTER. 2. When the NEWNTP menu appears, type the IP address for the NTP server, and then press ENTER. 3. When prompted, confirm the addition of the new NTP server. Removing an External NTP Server by Using SPMAINT To remove an existing external NTP server from the Service Processor NTP configuration settings: 1. From the NTPCONF submenu, type 3 for Remove external NTP server, and then press ENTER. 2. Type the number that corresponds to the external NTP server that is set to be deleted from the SP configuration settings, and then press ENTER. 3. When prompted, type y, and then press ENTER to confirm the NTP server configuration removal. Defining the SP Process Control Parameters The SP Process Control Parameters function allows you to view and modify the content of some process control variables. Mainly, these parameters control the transfer and handling of data that is destined for the connection portal. You can access the control parameters through SPOCC or SPMAINT. CAUTION: HP recommends that you do not change the default process control parameters unless advised to do so by an HP Technical Services support technician. To access the SP Process Control Parameters submenu by using SPOCC: 1. On the SPOCC home page, click the SPmaint tab. 2. Click SP Control/Status. 3. Click SP Process Control Parameters. On the SP Process Control Parameters submenu, you are presented with numerous configuration options, which are described in the following table: Control parameter name Max Days Between Transfer Transfer Files during Remote Ops Break Large Files Max File Size before File Split (Kb) - Eth File Split Size (Kb) - Eth Max File Size to Transfer (Kb) - Eth Group Small Files Description Perform a transfer at least every this number of days Controls whether files are transferred over modem when Remote Operation is active Controls the breaking down of large files Maximum size, in kilobytes, of a file to transfer over Ethernet When a file's size exceeds the maximum Ethernet size, break the file down into parts this size, in kilobytes Maximum size, in megabytes, of a file queued for transfer via Ethernet. Larger files are kept for 14 days. Controls the grouping of small files for transfer 18 SP Control Functions
