Connecting
to the Management Processor | |
Before powering on the cabinet, several windows must be open
and connected to the MP. Then the 48 volts is switched on and each
partition is booted to the EFI prompt. On the SMS, open the required number of command-prompt
windows: One “console” window
for each partition (MP CO option) One for initializing RS command from the MP One for monitoring partition status (MP VFP option)
In each window connect to the MP by entering: telnet <MP hostname> or telnet <IP address> Enter the appropriate login and password at the MP prompt. The MP main menu appears as shown in Figure 2-40 “Main MP Menu”. Repeat the first two steps for each partition required. In one window, bring up the command prompt by entering cm at the MP prompt, as shown in Figure 2-41 “MP Command Option”.
In the another window, bring up the virtual front panel
by entering vfp, as shown in Figure 2-42 “MP Virtual Front Panel”. Use
this window to observe partition status. From the VFP menu, enter s to select the whole system or the partition number
to select a particular partition. An output similar to that shown
in Figure 2-43 “Example of Partition State—Cabinet
Not Powered Up” should appear. In
this example, no status should be listed, because the system 48
volts has not been switched on. For each of the remaining windows, bring up the partition
console for each partition by enter co at the MP prompt, as shown in Figure 2-44 “MP Console Option”. These windows should be blank. If not, the information
in them means nothing at this point, because the cabinet is powered
off.
Powering
on the System 48 Volts | |
Switch on the 48-volt supply from each cabinet
front panel. If the complex has an IOX cabinet, power on this cabinet first. In a large complex cabinets should be powered on in one of
the two following orders: 9, 8, 1, 0 or 8, 9, 0, 1. | | | |  | IMPORTANT: The MP should be running in each window. | | | | |
As the cabinet boots, the partition(s) activity can be observed
in the window displaying the VFP. For Superdome systems, follow the procedure in “Booting Superdome to
EFI Shell”. For hp 9000 Superdome systems, follow the procedure in “Booting
hp 9000 to BCH Shell”.
Verifying
the System | |
From the CM prompt, enter ps to observe the power status. A status screen as shown
in Figure 2-50 “Power Status First Window” should appear. At the “Select Device” prompt,
enter B then the cabinet number to check the power status of
the cabinet. Observe that the Power Switch: on and Power: enabled
as shown in Figure 2-51 “ Power Status Window”. Figure 2-51 “ Power Status Window” shows that cells
are installed in slots 0 and 4. In the cabinet, there should be
cells physically located in slots 0 and 4. Enter ps from the Command Menu, or if proceeding from Step 2.in
the previous section, simply press <CR> one more time to observe the status as shown in Figure 2-52 “Power Status Showing State of UGUY LEDs (and
other status)”. Verify that there is an * in the columns marked MP,
CLU, and PM. | | | | | IMPORTANT: An * appears in the MP column only
for cabinet 0; that is, the cabinet containing the MP. There is
only one cabinet that contains the MP, and that is cabinet 0. | | | | |
Verify that there is an * for each of the cells installed
in the cabinet, by comparing what is in the Cells column
with the cells located inside the cabinet.
