At any time during your telnet connection to a service processor, you can type the ^] (Control-right bracket) escape sequence. This key sequence escapes back to the telnet prompt. When at the telnet> prompt you can use the following commands, among others: ? (print telnet command help information), close (close the current connection), and quit (exit telnet). To return to the service processor connection, type enter (or return) one or more times. Network Configuration for a Service Processor This gives an overview of the network settings for service processor (MP or GSP) hardware. These settings are used for connections to the service processor and are not used for HP-UX networking. Details on configuring service processor networking are given in the service guide for each server. The service processor utility hardware on HP Superdome servers has two network connections: the customer LAN and private LAN. The service processor on other (non-Superdome) cell-based servers does not have a private LAN; only a customer LAN connection is provided. Features of service processor LANs are given in the following list. • Customer LAN for Service Processor The customer LAN is the connection for login access to the service processor menus, consoles, commands, and other features. All cell-based servers have a customer LAN. On HP Superdome servers, the customer LAN port is labeled "Customer LAN". On HP rp8400 servers it is "GSP LAN". On HP rp7405/rp7410 servers it is the only LAN connection on each board. • Private LAN for Service Processor (Superdome Only) The private LAN is the connection to the Superdome service support processor (SSP) workstation, also called the service management station (SMS). Only Superdome servers have a private LAN. It typically is not used on the Superdome server models based on the HP sx1000 chipset or HP sx2000 chipset. To list the current service processor network configuration, use the LS command. To configure service processor network settings, use the LC command from the Command menu. For a procedures, refer to the service guide for your server. Viewing Console Logs Each nPartition in a server complex has its own console log that stores a record of the most recent nPartition console activity. To access the console log for an nPartition, enter CL from the service processor Main menu and select which nPartition console log you want to view. To exit the console log viewer, type ^b (Control-b) to return to the Main menu. When viewing an nPartition console log, type P to view the previous page of the console log, or type N (or Enter) to view the next page. Viewing Console Logs 77
