Service Processor (GSP or MP)

Each of HP’s nPartition servers include a service processor that provides server-wide status, maintenance, and console interfaces.




	NOTE: The service processor in HP servers is sometimes called the Management Processor (MP) and sometimes the Guardian Service Processor (GSP). Regardless of the name, the service processor in these servers provides approximately the same features and performs essentially the same role. Throughout this document the term “service processor” refers to both the MP and GSP service processors.
