Service Processor Menus The service processor menus are divided into two groups: v General user menus - the user must know the general-access password. v Privileged user menus - the user must know the privileged-access password. If the server is powered off, the service processor menus can be accessed locally or remotely. Accessing the Service Processor Menus Locally Service processor menus can be accessed locally by connecting an ASCII terminal to serial port 1 (S1) or serial port 2 (S2). Access to the service processor menus is not available on serial port 3 (S3) or serial port 4 (S4). Because the presence of the ASCII terminal cannot be confirmed by the service processor, you must press a key (any key) on the ASCII keyboard to confirm its presence after OK appears in the primary drawer operator panel display. When you gain access, the service processor prompts you for a password (if set), and when verified, displays the service processor menus. The service processor menu prompt, represented by 0> or 1>, indicates the serial port to which the terminal is connected. v 0> indicates serial port 1 (S1) v 1> indicates serial port 2 (S2) Accessing the Service Processor Menus Remotely If your system has a modem connected and is configured for call-in (see "Modem Configuration Menu" on page 392), the service processor menus can be accessed remotely as follows: 1. With the system powered off, call in from a remote terminal. 2. The service processor detects ring-indicate and prompts you for a password (if set). When verified, the service processor menus display remotely. Saving and Restoring Service Processor Settings All the settings you make (except language) from the service processor menus can be backed up either for recovering from a fault that may corrupt these settings, or for replicating these settings to other servers that include a service processor. The AIX service aid, Save or Restore Hardware Management Policies, can be used to save your settings after initial setup or whenever the settings must be changed for system operation purposes. It is strongly recommended that you use this AIX service aid for backing up service processor settings to protect the usefulness of the service processor and the availability of the server. Refer to "Save or Restore Hardware Management Policies," in the "Introducing Tasks and Service Aids" section of the RS/6000 and pSeries Eserver Diagnostics Information for Multiple Bus Systems, SA38-0509. 370 Service Guide
