NOTE: Always login to the service processor from a tty (not console) login session. You can check your current login terminal using the who -m command. Do not login to a service processor from an nPartition console connection. Any use of the ^b (Control-b) console exit sequence would exit the original console login-not the subsequent console-based login to the service processor-thus potentially stranding the console-based login (for example, if it too were accessing a console). Procedure 5-1 Accessing nPartition Console and System Boot Interfaces (Service Processor) Use the service processor Console Menu (CO) to access the BCH or EFI system boot environment for an nPartition through its console. 1. Login to the service processor (MP or GSP) for the server complex where the nPartition resides. You can connect to the service processor using a direct physical connection, or using telnet for a remote connection. In most situations, you can telnet to the service processor. 2. Select the Console Menu (CO) from the service processor Main Menu. The Console Menu is the method for accessing nPartition consoles.

NOTE:
Always login to the service processor from a tty (not console) login session. You can
check your current login terminal using the
who -m
command.
Do not login to a service processor from an nPartition console connection. Any use of the
^b
(
Control-b
) console exit sequence would exit the original console login—not the subsequent
console-based login to the service processor—thus potentially stranding the console-based login
(for example, if it too were accessing a console).
Procedure 5-1 Accessing nPartition Console and System Boot Interfaces (Service Processor)
Use the service processor Console Menu (
CO
) to access the BCH or EFI system boot environment
for an nPartition through its console.
1.
Login to the service processor (MP or GSP) for the server complex where the nPartition
resides.
You can connect to the service processor using a direct physical connection, or using
telnet
for a remote connection.
In most situations, you can
telnet
to the service processor.
2.
Select the Console Menu (
CO
) from the service processor Main Menu.
The Console Menu is the method for accessing nPartition consoles.
GSP MAIN MENU:
Utility Subsystem FW Revision Level: SR_XXXX_D
CO: Consoles
VFP: Virtual Front Panel
CM: Command Menu
CL: Console Logs
SL: Show chassis Logs
HE: Help
X: Exit Connection
GSP>
CO
If you are accessing the service processor using a single-partition-user account, selecting the
CO
(console) option takes you directly to the nPartition console.
If using an operator or administrator account, you can access the console for any of the
nPartitions within the server complex.
3.
At the Console Menu, enter the nPartition number for the nPartition whose console (and
BCH or EFI system boot environment) you wish to access.
Skip this step if you are accessing the service processor using a single-partition-user account.
If using an operator or administrator account, select the nPartition whose console you wish
to access.
