Chassis Logs and Event Logs Virtual Front Panel (VFP) for an nPartition On both HP 9000 systems and HP Integrity systems, you can view real-time (live) system events and can view prior events that have been stored in a log history. Use the SL ("show logs") option from the service processor Main Menu to view events/chassis codes. • On nPartition-capable HP 9000 servers with HP PA-8700 processors, SL provides the Chassis Log Viewer. The chassis log viewer includes options for viewing activity (level 1 and greater) logs, error (level 2 and greater) logs, and live logs (which optionally may be filtered by cell, nPartition, or alert level). • On nPartition-capable servers based on the HP sx1000 chipset, SL provides the Event Log Viewer. The event log viewer includes options for viewing: forward progress (level 1 and greater) logs, system event (level 2 and greater) logs, and live logs (which optionally may be filtered by cell, nPartition, or alert level). See "Viewing Chassis Codes or Event Logs" (page 24) for details. The Virtual Front Panel (VFP) for each nPartition displays real-time boot activity and details about all cells assigned to the nPartition. The VFP display automatically updates as cell and nPartition status changes. A system-wide VFP also is provided. Enter VFP at the Main menu to access the View Front Panel menu. To exit a Virtual Front Panel, enter ^b (Control-b). See "Virtual Front Panel (VFP) nPartition Views" (page 25) for details. Service Processor Accounts and Access Levels To access the service processor interface for a server complex, you must have a user account that enables you to login to the service processor. Each server complex has its own set of service processor user accounts, which are defined for the server complex, and may differ from accounts on other complexes. Service processor user accounts have a specific login name, password, and access level. The three user account access levels are: Administrator Account Provides access to all commands and to all nPartition consoles and Virtual Front Panels. Can manage user accounts (using the Command menu SO command) and can reconfigure various service processor settings. Operator Account Single Partition User Account Provides access to a subset of commands and to all nPartition consoles and Virtual Front Panels. Provides access to a restricted subset of commands and provides access to the nPartition console for a single nPartition. However, it allows the user to view the Virtual Front Panel for any nPartition. Can only execute commands that affect the assigned nPartition. Service Processor Accounts and Access Levels 13
