Note: The most effective connection method between the Express5800/1000 Series and the Service Processor is by using a telnet utility. Multiple instances of the telnet utility can be running at once, providing multiple windows with which to monitor and control the system. These utilities also provide logging features, which can be very useful in
Console Operations
You can use the consoles to:
!Operate the service processor using SP commands
!Redirect the operating system (BIOS) serial console (in main chassis)
!Display the Virtual SOP (Virtual System Operator Panel).
Console Status and Login Authentication
To use the consoles, you must first log into the service processor. When you log into the service processor, the iSP Main Menu appears.
From the iSP Main Menu, you can switch to one of the following functions:
!Virtual SOP – displays the system operating state for each partition with periodic updates.
!OS Console – redirects the serial input/output for the operating system (including BIOS).
!SP Command Console – allows you to monitor service processor output messages required for system operation and maintenance and to enter commands for the service processor. The SP Command Console lets you run commands required for system operation.
