the server is in an adequately secure location with only authorized users having access. Such users must still successfully enter a login password to access AIX.

If the error threshold is reached by someone entering passwords remotely, the service processor disconnects the modem to prevent potential security attacks on the server by unauthorized remote users.

The following table illustrates what you can access with the Privileged Access Password and the General-Access Password.

vChange Privileged Access Password

Set or change the privileged access password. It provides the user with the capability to access all service processor functions. This password is usually used by the system administrator or root user.

vChange General-Access Password

Set or change the general-access password. It provides limited access to service processor menus and is usually available to all users who are allowed to power on the server.

vEnable/Disable Console Mirroring

When Console Mirroring is enabled, the service processor sends information to both serial ports. This capability, which can be enabled by local or remote users, provides local users with the capability to monitor remote sessions. Console mirroring can be enabled for the current session only. For more information, see ªConsole Mirroringº on page 67.

vStart Talk Mode

In a console-mirroring session, it is useful for those who are monitoring the session to be able to communicate with each other. Selecting this menu item activates the keyboards and displays for such communications while console mirroring is established. This is a full duplex link, so message interference is possible. Alternating messages between users works best.

vOS Surveillance Setup Menu

This menu can be used to set up operating system (OS) surveillance.
